[태민 "Guilty" 가사]
[Intro]
Uh
Hey, hey
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Uh-uh-uh, yeah (Uh-uh, uh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Yeah)
[Verse 1]
Poison apple
홀린 채, you wanna take a bite?
손을 뻗어
위험 속에 깊이 빠져 가
Just a little more, that's all it takes
널 망치고서, throw it all awa-a-a-ay
Uh, 단 하나를 주는 척
모든 걸 가져가
아픈 마음과 사랑을
헷갈려 원하게 만들어
우리 관계는 그렇게 됐어
모든 건 다 널 위해서
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
(애매한 선과 악의 경계 위)
You played the fool for me
(마지막 순간 나의 심판이)
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y
모르게 너를 속여 전부를 뺏어
또 playin' a game, 재미로 해 둬
수백 가지 거짓말, ooh, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
G-U-I-L-T-Y
내 말 위에 놀아나
누가 날 벌할까?
Uh-uh, loving you's a crime
눈치챈 순간 난
이미 다 사라져
I can walk like this, talk like this, play like this, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
(Yeah, yeah) 네 마음과 다른 말 얼마든 해
Okay for tonight
(Yeah, yeah) 이 순간도 나를 더 바라고 있잖아
솔직해 이제 그만
(Yeah, yeah) 포기해 넌 내 안에 갇힌 걸
[Pre-Chorus]
Forgive me, ooh
(애매한 선과 악의 경계 위)
You played the fool for me
(마지막 순간 나의 심판이)
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Yeah, yeah)
You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y (G-U-I-L-T-Y, you got me, you got me)
모르게 너를 속여 전부를 뺏어
또 playin' a game, 재미로 해 둬
수백 가지 거짓말, ooh, yeah (Ooh)
[Bridge]
너를 더 잃어 가기를 원해
우리의 사랑은 그게 편해
그저 남들과 다른 내 방식
아플수록 달콤히 남지
Every time, every time, every time
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ooh)
You got me G-U-I-L-T-Y (G-U-I-L-T-Y, yeah, yeah, yeah)
모르게 너를 속여 전부를 뺏어
또 playin' a game, 재미로 해 둬
수백 가지 거짓말, ooh, yeah (Ooh)
[Post-Chorus]
G-U-I-L-T-Y (G-U-I-L)
내 말 위에 놀아나
누가 날 벌할까? (Ooh)
Uh-uh, loving you's a crime
눈치챈 순간 난
이미 다 사라져
I can walk like this, talk like this, play like this, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh, no, no, no)

It was originally in a female key, and that’s because I wrote it and sang it. The year was 2020, the pandemic was raging, and SM called me to do a virtual writing camp for some of their artists. I hopped on Zoom in my childhood bedroom with Maxx and Moonshine. Max was in Korea, Moonshine was in Swed...
A lot of my songs carry words that could be considered negative, and although positive words have power, I think it’s more attractive to make the negative look beautiful. Everyone is guilty, whether it’s a little or a lot, but it’s more truthful to show it, rather than hide it. “Guilty” is about a s...
