빈자리 – 구원찬 (Kuonechan)

Just before I open my mouth
It's already too far to stop
Taking a deep breath
I took up the courage and gently grabbed
The doorknob between you and me

Where should I look
From head to toe
Now even my expression has frozen stiff
You asked me if something was wrong
My lips won't part
As I drop my head

I spoke, barely making it
It was delivered, barely making it
Through the gap of the closing door
At my trembling breath
In the end, you just laughed
It passed over, barely making it
The boundary between you and me
Is wavering

You asked how it went
The receiver filled with worry
Should I chime in
It's already so clear to my eyes
That you'll close the door with your own hands

It rushed up to my throat
Lingering inside my mouth
But in the end, it stopped at the tip of my tongue and I swallowed it down
My mind goes back and forth
Is it right to close my eyes
That in the end, everything will be fine

I spoke, barely making it
It was delivered, barely making it
Through the gap that cannot be reached
At your trembling breath
For a moment, I hesitated
It passed over, barely making it
The boundary between you and me
Is wavering
