HYOLYN (효린) – Standing On The Edge Lyrics (English Translation)
(Verse 1)
I just need to tell you this, now that I finally can:
You gave me everything, when I had none.
Back then, even a single, simple word from you,
Was a mirage that filled my barren world, and made it new.
(Pre-Chorus)
They could never know—they couldn’t possibly see,
What kind of dreams we built for just you and me.
How many stories we told with eyes about to cry,
Or heard your voice that begged me, “Please don’t say goodbye.”
(Chorus)
I’m standing on the edge, at the break of dawn.
In the endless dark I stayed awake within, now gone.
You reached your hand to me, you are my sunshine (-ine, -ine).
(Post-Chorus)
I’m still standing here because of you.
You filled your brightest, dazzling days with me, and gave them light.
You are my break of dawn, ending the longest night.
(Verse 2)
I always said, “I’m okay,” was I just used to pain?
Did I not know the truth because I had too much to gain
From hiding every weakened part until the bitter end?
But then I saw your falling tears, my only faithful friend,
And only then did I begin to finally feel, to mend.
(Pre-Chorus)
How could I, who doesn’t even know what love should be,
Dare to say I love you? It frightens me.
Because I don’t yet know the way to love myself, it’s true.
But I’m learning, here with you.
(Chorus)
I’m standing on the edge, at the break of dawn.
In the endless dark I stayed awake within, now gone.
You reached your hand to me, you are my sunshine (-ine, -ine).
(Post-Chorus)
I’m still standing here because of you.
You filled your brightest, dazzling days with me, and gave them light.
You are my break of dawn, ending the longest night.
(Bridge)
Now look at me. Now look at you.
This, right here, is all I need. This view.
Because I’m here with you, in this same place, this space we made.
(Final Chorus)
I’m standing on the edge (On the edge), at the break of dawn (Dawn).
In the endless dark I stayed awake within, now gone.
You reached your hand to me, you are my sunshine (-ine, -ine).
(Outro)
I’m still standing here because of you… (Because of you)
I filled your brightest days… (Ah-ah)
And gave them light…
You are my break of dawn.
