EPIK HIGH - 내 얘기 같아 (Based on a True Story) ft. HEIZE (English Translation)
[Intro: HEIZE]
I don't know whether to cry or laugh
I'm just nodding my head

[Chorus: HEIZE]
I think this story is like mine
You crying in that screen
It's all like my heart
My eyes are red, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Post-Chorus: Tablo, HEIZE]
Even if you turn off the TV and turn it on again (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You see all these heartbreaking scenes and turn on the radio for a while (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You hear stories like mine, and dawn comes before you know it
I can see you even when I close my eyes

[Verse 1: Tablo]
Loss makes me selfish
Extorting others' feelings to fill my little emptiness
I put in my heart the isolation and loneliness that are not for me
Put it in your heart and mouth and say it's like my story
I'm scared, actually
I'm afraid I'll feel what's all mine, a touch of sulky emotions
I'm afraid that with just one pull, all this thread will be unraveled

[Verse 2: Mithra Jin]
Even if it's okay, at times
I get heartbroken by the lyrics that go through my ears
If you can't take it back, it might worsen
I'm eating away my bitter memories because I want to become a medicine
I've seen it countless times, memorized the lines
Tears pour out all night at the breakup scene
Will it be filled someday as much as I emptied it?
I keep chasing the sadness that will fill your void
[Chorus: HEIZE]
I think this story is like mine
You crying in that song
It's all like my heart
My eyes are red, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 3: Mithra Jin]
I can only see the tragedy all over the screen
The groans of each song are engraved with one syllable
Because the whole world is as heartbroken as I am
I was just making a noise to ask you to know how I feel
In the end, I, who was indifferent at the breakup, falls apart
Our relationship is over, but I see you everywhere
Because I keep holding on to the day I ran away

[Verse 4: Tablo]
Hate
And the developments that made me laugh at you for making sense
The obvious lines stuck in my mind
Things like fate that aren't anywhere in the world
I want to be fooled by that deception
Am I crazy?
I feel emotional, my eyes get teary
You cry instead of me who doesn't have the power to cry
Everything I see, hear, and feel...
[Chorus: HEIZE]
I think this story is like mine
You crying in that mirror
It's all like my heart
My eyes are red, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Post-Chorus: Tablo, HEIZE]
Even if you turn off the TV and turn it on again (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You see all these heartbreaking scenes and turn on the radio for a while (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You hear stories like mine, and dawn comes before you know it
I can see you even when I close my eyes

[Outro: HEIZE]
I don't know whether to cry or laugh
I'm just nodding my head
