[Korean:]
마무리 된 이 선율 위에서
나 홀로 버티고 있어
이젠 내게 말해줘
끝났단 걸 let me know
순간단위로 눈가엔
뚝뚝뚝 비가 고여 (네가 고여)
네가 고여
숨만 쉬어도 네가 보여
사랑은 벚꽃처럼
폈다가 쉽게 지는 게 맞나봐
꿈꾸는 것처럼 우린 불꽃처럼
탔다가 재만 남게 됐잖아
알아 네가 일방적으로 내린 결론
네 손 네 몸 적도보다 뜨거웠던
너의 온기조차 사라진 선율위에서
난 계속해서 제자리 도돌이표
마침표 그어진 악보위에 나 홀로 돌고 있어
마무리 된 이 선율 위에서
나 홀로 버티고 있어
이젠 내게 말해줘
끝났단 걸 let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
이미 다 끝난 건 알고 있지만
미련이라도 남지 않게만
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
뭐라도 말해줘
(I just wanna)
Know know know
(I just wanna)
Know know know
미련이 마침표 앞에서 버티고 있어
그러니 뭐라도 내게 말해줘
Girl let me know
함께한 다짐 어디로
시간과 함께 사라지고
이별의 힘에 무너진 도미노
마치 줄리엣 & 로미오
너무 뜨겁게 널 좋아한건지
너와 내 온기가 안 식혀지지
이제와 돌이켜 너와의 필름
Oh I gotta need a 네 생각과
지금 넌 나의 밤의 별을 가져가
낮의 해를 가져가
결국 남은 건 하나
찬 구름에 어두움만
그래 만남도 있으면
헤어짐도 있을 거라는 법
Never ever
그게 무슨 법이든 어기고 싶어
스스로 외면
너에게 최면
마무리 된 이 선율 위에서
나 홀로 버티고 있어
이젠 내게 말해줘
끝났단 걸 let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
이미 다 끝난 건 알고 있지만
미련이라도 남지 않게만
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
뭐라도 말해줘
(I just wanna)
Know know know
(I just wanna)
Know know know
미련이 마침표 앞에서 버티고 있어
그러니 뭐라도 내게 말해줘
Girl let me know
어쩜 우린 다 바보 멍청이일지 몰라
이미 다 끝난 사랑 하나쯤 안고 살잖아
맘이 있는 건 아냐
될 수 없단 것도 알아
근데 가끔씩 취한 듯이 왜
체한 듯이 다시
머릿속에서 터질것처럼 울컥 올라와
날 토하게 만드네
상상속에서 너와 싸우고와
화해하고 널 이해해
네 손짓 네 눈빛
희미한데 왜 사라지진 않을까
사라지진 않을까 왜
사라지진 않을까 왜
사라지진 않을까
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
이미 다 끝난 건 알고 있지만
미련이라도 남지 않게만

[English translation:]
On top of this ending tune
I am standing here alone
Now tell me
That it’s over, let me know
Suddenly, in my eyes
Rain wells up
You well up
I see you even when I breathe
Love blooms
Like cherry blossoms
But burns and becomes ashes
Hey girl I know
The conclusion you made by yourself
Your hand, your body, your body heat
That was hotter than the equator
I’m still here, on repeat on top of the disappeared tune
I’m turning by myself on top of this music that has ended
On top of this ending tune
I am standing here alone
Now tell me
That it’s over, let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Although I already know everything is over
Although you’re over me
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Tell me something
I just wanna know
Know know
I just wanna know
Know know
My lingering feelings are trying to withstand the end
So please tell me something
Girl let me know
The promises we made disappeared
With the time we spent together
The dominos have fallen with our breakup
Like Juliet and Romeo
Did I like you too much?
The heat between me and you won’t cool down
Now I look back at the film with you
Too early to do anything by thinking of you
You took away my stars at night
My sun at day
Only leaving me with the darkness
Of a single cold cloud
If there are hellos
Then there’s bound to be goodbyes?
Never ever
I don’t care about that
I don’t want to stick to that
I’ll turn away, hypnotizing myself
On top of this ending tune
I am standing here alone
Now tell me
That it’s over, let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Although I already know everything is over
Although you’re over me
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Tell me something
I just wanna know
Know know
I just wanna know
Know know
My lingering feelings are trying to withstand the end
So please tell me something
Girl let me know
Maybe we’re all just a bunch of fools
Everyone lives with a love that has come to an end
It’s not that I still have feelings for you
I know we can’t work out
But why does it feel like I’m having indigestion?
As if my insides will explode
Cries come up my throat
Making me throw up
In my imagination, I fight with you
Make up with you and understand you
Your hand gestures, your eyes
They are faded but not gone
Why won’t it go away?
Why won’t it go away?
Why won’t it go away?
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Although I already know everything is over
Although you’re over me
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Girl let me know
Tell me something
I just wanna know
Know know
I just wanna know
Know know
My lingering feelings are trying to withstand the end
So please tell me something
Girl let me know
(Let me know)
Facing the End Alone
“Let Me Know” by BTS delves deep into the emotions of heartbreak and the struggle to accept the end of a cherished relationship. The song’s imagery places the narrator alone, standing atop an “ending tune,” symbolizing the finality of love that’s slipped away. The recurring plea, “let me know,” underscores a desperate need for closure, as lingering doubts and memories haunt the narrator. The lyrics liken love to fleeting cherry blossoms and burning fireworks, highlighting its beauty and inevitable demise. Throughout, BTS explores the pain of unanswered questions, the futility of holding onto hope, and the universal experience of trying to move on while remnants of affection persist.
