이제 모두 내겐 lie, lie, lie

You and me, 미칠 듯이
뜨거웠지만
처참하게 짓밟혀진

난 하얀 꽃잎처럼 날아가
잡지 않은 것은 너니까
살랑살랑 부는 바람에 이끌려
봄은 오지만 우린 bye, bye, bye

Eh-eh, eh, eh
ABC, 도레미
만큼 착했던 나
그 눈빛이 싹 변했지
어쩌면 이 또한 나니까
난 파란 나비처럼 날아가
잡지 못한 건 다 네 몫이니까
활짝 꽃피웠던 시간도
이제 모두 내겐 lie, lie, lie
붉게 타버려진 너와 나
난 괜찮아, 넌 괜찮을까?
구름 한 점 없이 예쁜 날
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
You and me, 미칠 듯이
뜨거웠지만
처참하게 짓밟혀진
내 하나뿐인 라일락
난 하얀 꽃잎처럼 날아가
잡지 않은 것은 너니까
살랑살랑 부는 바람에 이끌려
봄은 오지만 우린 bye, bye, bye
붉게 타버려진 너와 나
난 괜찮아, 넌 괜찮을까?
구름 한 점 없이 예쁜 날
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
이젠 안녕, goodbye!
뒤는 절대 안 봐
미련이란 이름의 잎새 하나
봄비에 너에게서 떨어져
꽃향기만 남아, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
꽃향기만 남기고 갔단다
