G-Dragon "Crooked" lyrics: Nothing ever lasts forever In the end, you changed There is no reason, no sincerity Take away such a thing as love Tonight, I’ll be crooked Leave me alone I was alone anyway I have no one, everything is meaningless Take away the sugar-coated comfort Tonight, I’ll be crooked I scream and get dizzy I vent out of boredom to other couples I start fights for no reason like a town gangster Sometimes, I purposely shake my leg, crookedly The main characters of the movie called this world is you and me A lonely island, lost and wandering The empty streets are filled with those who are alone Unlike my heart, the weather is so damn nice I used to believe in you alone and I was happy But like a joke, I am left alone You used to promise me with your pinky finger But in the end Nothing ever lasts forever In the end, you changed There is no reason, no sincerity Take away such a thing as love Tonight, I’ll be crooked Leave me alone I was alone anyway I have no one, everything is meaningless Take away the sugar-coated comfort Tonight, I’ll be crooked I’ll put on thick eyeliner, use a whole can of hairspray Leather pants, leather jacket with a frown I want to hide my pain and become even more crooked So you can feel sorry, I’ll spit toward the sky You’re scared of my crude words and my rough eyes But actually, I’m afraid, I want to go back but I have nowhere to go I want to love but no one to love, what am I supposed to do? I can’t turn it back I used to believe in you alone and I was happy But like a joke, I am left alone You used to promise me with your pinky finger But in the end Nothing ever lasts forever In the end, you changed There is no reason, no sincerity Take away such a thing as love Tonight, I’ll be crooked Leave me alone I was alone anyway I have no one, everything is meaningless Take away the sugar-coated comfort Tonight, I’ll be crooked Will you not say anything for me tonight? I didn’t know being alone would be this hard (I miss you) Will you be my friend tonight? On this good day, this beautiful day, this day where I miss you Tonight, I’ll be crooked |
