Lyrics & Phonetic Romanization

Dear younger me, 조그마한 먼지가 돼 사라질까?

Dear younger me, jo-geu-ma-han meon-ji-ga dwae sa-ra-jil-kka?

혼자 남은 puzzle처럼, 네 자린 없는 것 같니

hon-ja nam-eun p-u-z-z-l-e-cheo-reom, ne ja-rin eop-neun geos gat-ni

거울 속 그 애가 누구보다도 미워

geo-ul sok geu ae-ga nu-gu-bo-da-do mi-wo

삼켜온 눈물은 맘에 바다를 이뤄

sam-kyeo-on nun-mul-eun mam-e ba-da-reul i-rwo

작고 여린, mm, dear younger me

jak-go yeo-rin, mm, dear younger me

어두운 긴 밤 혼자인 방 안 웅크려 잠들던

eo-du-un gin bam hon-ja-in bang an ung-keu-ryeo jam-deul-deon

너의 머리맡 젖은 베개 위 놓아두는 letter

neo-ui meo-ri-mat jeot-eun be-gae wi not-a-du-neun letter

빛이 나는 미래는 한 걸음 앞에, 그곳에서 널 기다릴 거야

bit-i na-neun mi-rae-neun han geol-eum ap-e, geu-gos-e-seo neol gi-da-ril geo-ya

참지는 마 울어도 돼 잘하고 있어, love, older you

cham-ji-neun ma ul-eo-do dwae jal-ha-go iss-eo, love, older you

구겨버린 일기장엔 엄마 화내서 미안해

gu-gyeo-beo-rin il-gi-jang-en eom-ma hwa-nae-seo mi-an-hae

늘 "열심히", 또 "열심히", 그 말이 가끔 아팠지

neul "yeol-sim-hi", tto "yeol-sim-hi", geu mal-i ga-kkeum a-pass-ji

Dear younger me

어두운 긴 밤 혼자인 방 안 웅크려 잠들던

eo-du-un gin bam hon-ja-in bang an ung-keu-ryeo jam-deul-deon

너의 머리맡 젖은 베개 위 놓아두는 letter

neo-ui meo-ri-mat jeot-eun be-gae wi not-a-du-neun letter

숱한 눈물은 미래의 너에게 더 단단한 날개를 줄 거야

sut-han nun-mul-eun mi-rae-ui neo-e-ge deo dan-dan-han nal-gae-reul jul geo-ya

괜찮다고 보듬어줘 너를 믿어줘, love, older you

gwaen-chan-da-go bo-deum-eo-jwo neo-reul mit-eo-jwo, love, older you

오늘은 그냥 푹 잠들어 보는 거야 (dear younger me)

o-neul-eun geu-nyang puk jam-deul-eo bo-neun geo-ya (dear younger me)

눈뜨면 어둡던 맘도 환해질 거야

nun-tteu-myeon eo-dup-deon mam-do hwan-hae-jil geo-ya

Dear younger me, love, older you

Dear younger me, love, older you

내일 속의 너를 믿고 꿈을 꾸길

nae-il sok-ui neo-reul mit-go kkum-eul kku-gil

Love, older you
