Kang Daniel - Ghost (English Translation)


Will I forget just because I tell myself to?
When will it get as easy as people say it will?
Will my heavy heart ever clear out as well?
It's all full of you though.
I'm just not able to.

In my fading memories,
I search for you every day.
The more I try to grab hold, the further away it all gets.
I'm going towards you,
because I know all too well that you're never returning to me again.

And now
I can't fall asleep at night.
Today as well, only the illusion of you remains.
I'm living with your ghost.
In your place, only your cold scent lingers.
It engulfs me with every breathe I take.
Why did I let you fade away
into a ghost.

Like a powerful wave,
the memories wash over
and paralyze me.
Every time I close my eyes,
you never fail to appear.
Every night,
You're by my side.
You haunt me.

In my fading memories,
I search for you every day.
The more I try to grab hold, the further it all gets.
I'm going towards you,
because I know all too well that you're never returning to me again.

And now
I can't fall asleep at night.
Today as well, only the illusion of you remains.
I'm living with your ghost.
In your place, only your cold scent lingers.
It engulfs me with every breathe I take.
Why did I let you fade away
into a ghost.

Aye aye aye aye oh
Everything about you haunts me.
I'm stuck in the memory of you.
The warmth of your hands.
The voice of yours that used to call for me,
The smile you showed me,
The way you used to look at me,
How could I possibly forget any of it?

Oh I can't forget you,
Every little thing about you.
Even the day that you left me,
I wouldn't be able to escape it,
even if I tried to run away.

And now
I can't fall asleep at night.
Today as well, only the illusion of you remains.
I'm living with your ghost.
In your place, only your cold scent lingers.
It engulfs me with every breathe I take.
Why did I let you fade away
into a ghost.

Fade into a ghost.
Fade in love.
In your place, there's only your cold scent.

No, I'll never let you fade away into a ghost.
