And I’d give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t want to miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive

And I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

누군가를 완전히 이해한다는 것이 과연 가능한 것일까?
저마다 스스로를 이해하지 못하는 때도 있는데 말이다.

그렇다면 완전히 이해하는 것은 포기한다지만
그 사람마저 포기하는 것은 안 될 때에는 어떻게 해야 하는가?

—.

그럴 때 우리는 ‘타협(妥協)’이 필요한 것이 아닐까?
내가 너를 이해할 수 있도록 노력할테니
너도 내가 어떤 사람인지 알아주렴.
그 방식이 유치(幼稚)하고 불안(不安)하더라도
배워가고 있는 중인 나를 안아주렴.
너도 그러할테니 말야…

Is it ever possible to completely understand someone?
Even though one doesn’t sometimes understand themselves.

Then, even if I give up to completely understand someone,
if I cannot give up the person himself, what should I do?

—.

Isn’t it maybe when we need a ‘compromise’?
As I will be trying to understand you,
I just want you to know who I am.
Though the way I do might be immature or uneasy,
I want you to hold me in your arms, who’s learning now.
As I know so are you…
