Endless Ending (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Yoon Dujun, Yang Yoseop]
What about our own story
A pretty love story contained in that film
In the last scene, with a bright smile
You and I in the black credit (Oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus: Lee Gikwang, Son Dongwoon]
After our shining night passes (After the night passes)
In the real ending where we blamed each other
When the curtain falls as if the music has turned off
I’ll be alone in the dark room

[Chorus: Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
I miss you so I write an ending that doesn’t exist
I miss you so I stay up all night (stay up all night)
When the morning comes again, oh I’m looking for you
I hate myself (I hate myself) I hate myself like this

[Verse 2: Yoon Dujun, Son Dongwoon, Yang Yoseop]
Oh yeah, I know, in fact, we had a closed ending (a sad ending that makes you cry)
We were just laughing The days are now goodbye
The neighborhood and the street we walked together every day (Yeah)
The happy words we shared lovingly that remain on the phone (Nobody knows)
Now they will be forgotten

[Pre-Chorus: Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
After our shining night passes (After the night passes)
In the real ending where we blame each other
When the curtain falls as if the music has turned off
I will be alone in the dark room

[Chorus: Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
I think of you and write an ending that doesn’t exist
I miss you so I stay up all night (stay up all night)
When the morning comes again, oh I look for you
I hate myself (I hate myself) I hate myself like this

[Bridge: Yoon Dujun, Son Dongwoon, Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
Your warmth that still remains
I like just remembering you (I like it)
If I had held you tightly in my arms back then
Our last page is empty Greetings

Have they changed a little?

[Chorus: Son Dongwoon, Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
I miss you (Woah) so I write an ending that doesn’t exist (Write an ending)
I miss you so I stay up all night (stay up all night)
When the morning comes again (When the morning comes again), oh I’m looking for you (I’m looking for you)
I hate myself (I hate myself) I hate myself like this

[Outro: Yang Yoseop, Yoon Dujun]
No, oh-ah-oh-ah
Ooh-ah-ah
No, oh-ah-oh-ah
Yeah
No, oh-ah-oh-ah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah-eh)
I hope it’s an open ending
I hate myself like this so that’s why

Endless Ending Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Yoon Dujun, Yang Yoseop]
The opening verse frames the relationship as a beautiful love story preserved like a film. HIGHLIGHT reflects on the good times, imagining the final scene ending with smiles. The “black credits” symbolize the close of a chapter, implying a sense of finality, yet with both individuals still emotionally present in that moment, highlighting the bittersweet nature of the memory.

[Pre-Chorus: Lee Gikwang, Son Dongwoon]
This section transitions from nostalgia to sorrow. The once-bright nights have passed, replaced by a bitter ending where blame and regret take center stage. The imagery of music stopping and curtains falling symbolizes the definitive end of the relationship. Lee Gikwang and Son Dongwoon express the loneliness that follows—a dark room and the isolation that comes after the emotional noise fades.

[Chorus: Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
HIGHLIGHT confesses to constantly thinking of their former partner, to the point of mentally rewriting the story with a different ending—an “ending” that never existed. The nights feel endless, filled with longing and insomnia. By morning, they’re still reaching for someone who’s no longer there. The chorus ends with the raw admission of self-hatred, showing how unresolved love can lead to internal conflict and emotional exhaustion.

[Verse 2: Yoon Dujun, Son Dongwoon, Yang Yoseop]
The second verse acknowledges the reality: the relationship had a “closed” or unhappy ending. Even joyful moments now carry a farewell tone. Everyday places once shared feel hollow, and digital traces—like photos and messages—become painful reminders. The tender words they once exchanged are destined to fade, despite their significance. HIGHLIGHT confronts the inescapable process of letting go.

[Pre-Chorus: Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
Reiterating the emotional aftermath, this pre-chorus reinforces how the brightness of the past has dimmed into blame and silence. Again, the act of the curtain closing symbolizes finality, and being left alone in the dark room encapsulates the emptiness of life after the relationship’s end.

[Chorus: Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
This repetition intensifies the ongoing cycle of memory, longing, and regret. HIGHLIGHT continues to relive the love story, rewriting it in their minds. The sleepless nights and emotional turmoil persist, suggesting that time has not eased the pain. The self-directed frustration reveals their inability to move on or forgive themselves for how things ended.

[Bridge: Yoon Dujun, Son Dongwoon, Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
The bridge offers a glimmer of emotional vulnerability and unresolved hope. The warmth of the former partner still lingers, and even memories bring comfort. HIGHLIGHT wonders if things would have turned out differently had they acted with more affection in the final moments. This “empty goodbye” lingers as an emotional loose end, a pivotal what-if that continues to haunt them.

[Chorus: Son Dongwoon, Lee Gikwang, Yang Yoseop]
In this final chorus, the pain of remembering and longing reaches its peak. HIGHLIGHT repeats the idea of writing an “ending” that doesn’t truly exist—because emotionally, the relationship hasn’t ended for them. The repetition of searching for their partner at dawn symbolizes their emotional stagnation. Once again, they express self-hatred for being stuck in this cycle, unable to break free.

[Outro: Yang Yoseop, Yoon Dujun]
The outro closes with haunting vocalizations that convey emotional fragility. The final line, “열린 결말이길 바라” (“I hope it’s an open ending”), reveals the deepest hope—that perhaps the story isn’t truly over. Yet it’s followed by self-reproach, reinforcing the inner torment of someone who cannot let go but also cannot forgive themselves.
