Lyrics

Korean
수많은 사람들 중 어떻게 너를 알아볼 수 있었을까 왜 난 너였을까 마치 처음부터 내 옆자리는 너였던 것처럼 모든 것이 자연스러웠어 말투 하나 작은 습관들마저 어느새 서서히 스며들어 You, you’re my best friend 영원히 Never end 내게 넌 끝나지 않을 이야기 너, 너라는 의미 우주보다 더 큰 무한함 Oh you, you’re my best friend 가장 가까운 곳에서 언제나 내 편이 되어줄 단 한 사람 그게 너여서 난 오랜 시간이 흘러버린대도 늘 변함없이 나를 감싸줄 너란 사람 Oh 긴 하루 끝에 무거운 한숨마저 따스한 위로에 사라져가 You, you’re my best friend 영원히 Never end 내게 넌 끝나지 않을 이야기 너, 너라는 의미 우주보다 더 큰 무한함 Oh you, you’re my best friend 항상 변함없는 편안함으로 누구보다도 넓은 포근함으로 바라만 보고 있어도 웃음이 나오는 사이 아무 말 하지 않아도 느껴지는 걸 Oh you, you’re my best friend 영원히 Never end 넌 절대 끝날 수 없는 이야기 너와 나 함께라는 의미 내가 늘 너를 지켜줄게 (내가 너를) Oh, ‘cause I’m your best friend (You’re my best friend) Thank you, my best friend
