Face To Face Lyrics English (Translation) — The Stray
The Stray delivers a heartfelt ballad with ‘Face to Face.’ Dr.Ba$$, KLAZY, and Taibian write lyrics that mix raw emotion with poetic honesty. The melody, composed by the same trio alongside sentimental colleen, 권남우, and 정기홍, sets the stage for a touching story of love and confession.
The lyrics describe a late confession of love, with lines like ‘I’m finally confessing, though it’s late.’ The songwriter uses streetlights and shattered memories to show the struggle of holding onto a love that feels slipping away. The repeated phrase ‘I really, really love you’ becomes a mantra of unwavering devotion.
