[Hangul:]
난 숨쉬고 싶어 이 밤이 싫어
이젠 깨고 싶어 꿈속이 싫어
내 안에 갇혀서 난 죽어있어
Don’t wanna be lonely
Just wanna be yours
왜 이리 깜깜한 건지
니가 없는 이 곳은
위험하잖아 망가진 내 모습
구해줘 날 나도 날 잡을 수 없어
내 심장소릴 들어봐
제멋대로 널 부르잖아
이 까만 어둠 속에서
너는 이렇게 빛나니까
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
I need your love before I fall fall
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
I need your love before I fall fall
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
Save me save me
오늘따라 달이 빛나 내 기억 속의 빈칸
날 삼켜버린 이 lunatic
Please save me tonight
Please save me tonight
Please save me tonight
이 치기 어린 광기 속
나를 구원해줄 이 밤
난 알았지 너란 구원이
내 삶의 일부며 아픔을
감싸줄 유일한 손길
The best of me 난 너밖에 없지
나 다시 웃을 수 있도록 더 높여줘
니 목소릴
Play on
내 심장소릴 들어봐
제멋대로 널 부르잖아
이 까만 어둠 속에서
너는 이렇게 빛나니까
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
I need your love before I fall fall
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
I need your love before I fall fall
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
고마워 내가 나이게 해줘서
이 내가 날게 해줘서
이런 내게 날갤 줘서
꼬깃하던 날 개 줘서
답답하던 날 깨줘서
꿈 속에만 살던 날 깨워줘서
널 생각하면 날 개어서
슬픔 따윈 나 개 줬어
Thank you 우리가 돼 줘서
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
I need your love before I fall fall
그 손을 내밀어줘 save me save me
I need your love before I fall fall

[English:]
I want to breathe, I hate this night
I want to wake up, I hate this dream
I’m trapped inside of myself and I’m dead
Don’t wanna be lonely
Just wanna be yours
Why is it so dark where you’re not here
It’s dangerous how wrecked I am
Save me because I can’t get a grip on myself
Listen to my heartbeat
It calls you whenever it wants to
Because within this pitch black darkness
You are shining so brightly
Give me your hand
Save me save me
I need your love before
I fall, fall
Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fall
Give me your hand save me save me
Give me your hand save me save me
Save me, save me
Today the moon shines brighter on the blank spot in my memories
It swallowed me, this lunatic, please save me tonight
(Please save me tonight, please save me tonight)
Within this childish madness you will save me tonight
I knew that your salvation
Is a part of my life and the only helping hand that will embrace my pain
The best of me, you’re the only thing I have
Please raise your voice so that I can laugh again
Play on
Listen to my heartbeat, it calls you whenever it wants to
Because within this pitch black darkness, you are shining so brightly
Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fall
Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fall
Give me your hand save me save me
Give me your hand save me save me
Thank you for letting me be me
For helping me fly
For giving me wings
For straightening me out
For waking me from being suffocated
For waking me from a dream which was all I was living in
When I think of you the sun comes out
So I gave my sadness to the dog
(Thank you. For being ‘us’)
Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fall
Give me your hand save me save me
I need your love before I fall, fall
