EPIK HIGH - 상실의 순기능 (The Benefits Of Heartbreak) [English Translation] lyrics

[Intro: Lee Suhyun]
The traffic lights are blinking
And the autumn leaves are rolling on the ground
They do their job
But why am I like this?

The nights are still bright without you
And autumn, too, will turn into spring
But why am I like this?
What do I live for?

[Verse 1: Tablo]
Again, had quite a bit to do today
Washing the dishes, cleaning my room, tidying my desk
How thankful I was for those that mindlessly returned to their original place
The small chores I’ve left undone are now what guide my broken self
The moment your hands left mine, they were replaced by the rushing hands of time
I find myself flipping through the final pages of books that would’ve been left unread
Perhaps, these are the benefits of heartbreak
Don’t worry, I’m busy as you can see
I’ve got a full schedule. You just worry about yourself
Thanks for the task you left behind for me

[Chorus: Lee Suhyun]
The traffic lights are blinking
And the autumn leaves are rolling on the ground
They do their job
But why am I like this?
The nights are still bright without you
And autumn, too, will turn into spring
But why am I like this?
What do I live for?

[Verse 2: Mithra Jin]
Lie down on the couch and turn the TV on
Already been flipping through the channels for half an hour…
Hear the abandoned phone ring
Doesn’t matter who. I make plans and get ready to go out
Right now, it’s 11:30. Would’ve normally fallen asleep
These days, I’m invited here and there
Busy life. Been a while, so I welcome it even more
A hectic day. Unstable just like me
I try to use them up but even then one is left untouched
Not sure if it’s my time or my feelings?
Tomorrow will be a rerun of today
Honestly, I’m afraid that my heart remains empty, despite my attempts to fill it up

[Outro: Lee Suhyun]
The traffic lights are blinking
And the autumn leaves are rolling on the ground
They do their job
But why am I like this?

The nights are still bright without you
And autumn, too, will turn into spring
But why am I like this?
Are you like this too?
Why me…
