[에스파 "I'll Make You Cry" 가사]

[Intro: Giselle, Karina]
Nah, nah, you think you're cool
You think you walking out my life like that
넌 고민이 없어
I swear love makes you blind
Hey, hey, hey, hey, okay, yo
May, may, may, may, whatever
Hey, hey, hey, hey, you won't get me this time

[Verse 1: Ningning, Karina, Winter, All]
독하게 맘 먹어봐 견딜 수 없겠지만
잊지마 그 이질적인 기분을
낯설게 다가올 너의 시간도
You and me, waste of time
경고하니 잘 들어
삼켜버려 올라오는 감정도
Ah, ah! Got to go (Got to go)

[Pre-Chorus: Karina, Giselle]
D-O-N-E now 이제 네 차례
I'm sick and tired of it
받아들여야 해
뼛속까지 넌 아파봐야 돼
자비를 기대하지 마

[Chorus: Winter, Giselle, Karina, Ningning]
I'll make you cry
(I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you cry)
I'll make you cry
(I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you cry)
떠돌고 있어 넌 야 타락해버렸지
칼을 빼 들어 난 칼을 빼 들었지
누가 널 구해 아무도 못 구한대
쫓겨난 너를 보면서 웃지

[Post-Chorus: Karina]
Nah, nah
The game's over and you just played on it

[Verse 2: Giselle, Ningning, Karina, Winter]
가만히 숨만 쉬고 어울리지도 말고
방안에 박혀있어 넌 그게 딱 어울려
Hey, it's ovеr, lost forever 널 이해 안 해
Your love was a liе, so hypnotized
그땐 좀 미쳤었나 봐
이리저리 널 걱정했지
So hard to make you believe
And to feel what I'm feeling

[Pre-Chorus: Giselle, Karina]
D-O-N-E now 재미없잖아
I'm sick and tired of it 시시해졌어
왜 도망치려 해
드라마틱 결말 따위는 기대하지 마

[Chorus: Ningning, Giselle, Karina, Winter]
I'll make you cry
(I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you cry)
I'll make you cry
(I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you cry)
떠돌고 있어 넌 야 타락해버렸지
칼을 빼 들어 난 칼을 빼 들었지
누가 널 구해 아무도 못 구한대
쫓겨난 너를 보면서 웃지

[Post-Chorus: Giselle]
Nah, nah
You thought you had me, didn't ya?
Nah

[Bridge: Karina, Giselle, Ningning, Winter]
Now it's my time to feel alive
사랑도 아플 수 있어
No, I don't care
Everyday facing the pain
무의식이 날 믿게 했지
환각은 깨어졌단 걸
내 방식으로 난 날아

[Chorus: Ningning, Giselle, Karina, Winter]
I'll make you cry
(I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you cry)
I'll make you cry
(I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you, I'll make you, make you cry)
떠돌고 있어 넌 야 타락해버렸지
칼을 빼 들어 난 칼을 빼 들었지
누가 널 구해 아무도 못 구한대
쫓겨난 너를 보면서 웃지

[Outro: Karina]
Hey, yeah 네 앞을 좀 봐
다가올 너의 시간도, uh

​aespa (에스파)

aespa ( 에스파) is a four-member South Korean girl group under record label SM Entertainment. The group consists Korean members Winter and Karina as well as Chinese member Ningning and Japanese member Giselle who were revealed on October 26th-29th, 2020 alongside various teaser photos following their intro video.

Known their human members and virtual counterparts, the group is the first project of SMCU (SM Culture Universe). They debuted on November 17th, 2020 with the digital single “Black Mamba.”

The group’s name is a combination of the words “avatar” and “experience” (ae) as well “aspect,” representing the duality of the group. SM founder Lee Sooman described their concept as that of independent yet corresponding human and AI-powered virtual members who can bridge their separate worlds on October 27th, 2020 at the World Cultural Industry Forum. They opened their official fanclub with the name “MY,” meaning “the most precious friend” in the language of Kwangya, the world where aespa’s “ae” avatars live.
