English Lyrics for Nam Jin's "빈잔"

(Verse 1)

Cold tears are falling through shadows of silence
Silently I close my eyes
Lonely hearts whisper lies
Nothing remains through this night

Two fading souls have met
Ah— we hold on though we know it's the end
This fleeting life
We drink while dreams burn fast

Darling, if something still lingers on
Let me believe in love tonight

(Verse 2)

Cold tears are falling through shadows of silence
Silently I close my eyes
Lonely hearts whisper lies
Nothing remains through this night

Two fading souls have met
Ah— we hold on though we know it's the end
This fleeting life
We drink while dreams burn fast

Darling, if something still lingers on
Let me believe in love tonight
