Outro: Tear Lyrics
[Verse 1: RM]
이별은 내게 티어
나도 모르게 내 눈가 위에 피어
채 내뱉지 못한 얘기들이 흐르고
미련이 나의 얼굴 위를 기어
내게 넌 한때는 나의 dear
하지만 이젠 쓰기만 한 beer
때늦은 자기혐오로 얼룩진 심장은
스치는 저 바람에도 비어
이별은 거짓뿐이던 나의 연극 끝에
오고야 말았던 나의 댓가
누군가 시간을 되돌려준다면
어쩜 내가 좀 더 솔직할 수 있었을까
나만 아는 나의 그 맨얼굴도
추하고 초라한 내 안의 오랜 벗들도
나를 보던 그 미소로 여전히 넌 나를
그렇게 또 사랑해줄 수 있었을까
영원 영원 같은 소리 좀 그만해
어차피 원래 끝은 있는 거잖아
시작이 있다면, I don't wanna listen to that
너무 맞는 소리 혹은 너무 많은 위로, I don't wanna listen to that
그냥 너무 무서웠어
어쩜 내가 너를 사랑했던 적이 아예 없는 것 같아서
늦었지만 넌 진실했다고 너만 나를 사랑했다고 더
You're my tear, you're my you're my tear (Yeah)
You're my tear, you're my you're my tear (Yeah)
You're my tear, you're my you're my tear (Yeah)
What more can I say? You're my tear
[Chorus: j-hope, SUGA]
같은 곳을 향해 걸었었는데 (Ayy, ayy)
이곳이 우리의 마지막이 돼
영원을 말하던 우리였는데 (Ayy, ayy)
가차없이 서로를 부수네
같은 꿈을 꿨다 생각했는데 (Ayy, ayy)
그 꿈은 비로소 꿈이 되었네
심장이 찢겨져 차라리 불 태워줘
고통과 미련 그 무엇도 남지 않게끔
[Refrain: RM, SUGA, j-hope]
(Oh) You're my tear, you're my you're my tear
(Ae-yeah) You're my tear, you're my you're my tear
(Ae-yeah) You're my fear, you're my you're my fear
(Ae-yeah) What more can I say? You're my…
[Verse 2: SUGA]
Yeah, 이별은 내게 T.E.A.R 눈물 따위는 사치니까
아름다운 이별 따위는 없을테니 이제 시작해줘
Ooh, take it easy 천천히 심장을 도려줘
그래그래 조각이 나버린 파편 위를 즈려밟아줘
미련, 미련 그딴 게 더는 남지 않게
갈기갈기 찢어발겨버린 내 심장을 싹 불태워줘
옳지 그래 거기야 뭘 망설이니
니가 원하던 그 결말이니
망설임 없이 어서 죽여주길
(Ooh) Ayy, yeah, yeah, burn it
(Ooh) Yeah, yeah, yeah, burn it
(Ooh) Yeah, yeah, yeah, burn it
타버린 재마저 남지 않게
이게 진짜 너고 이게 진짜 나야
이젠 끝을 봤고 원망도 안 남아
달던 꿈은 깼고 나는 눈을 감아
이게 진짜 너고 이게 진짜 나야
[Chorus: RM, SUGA]
같은 곳을 향해 걸었었는데 (Ayy, ayy)
이 곳이 우리의 마지막이 돼
영원을 말하던 우리였는데 (Ayy)
가차없이 서로를 부수네
같은 꿈을 꿨다 생각했는데 (Ayy, ayy)
그 꿈은 비로소 꿈이 되었네
심장이 찢겨져 차라리 불 태워줘
고통과 미련 그 무엇도 남지 않게끔
[Refrain: RM, SUGA, j-hope]
(Oh) You're my tear, you're my you're my tear
(Ae-yeah) You're my tear, you're my you're my tear
(Ae-yeah) You're my fear, you're my you're my fear
(Ae-yeah) What more can I say? You're my…
[Bridge: SUGA]
어떤 말을 해야 할지
우리는 알고 있지
정답은 정해 있는데
늘 대답은 어렵지
왜 흘리는지 왜 찢어버리는지
소용없어 내게는 이별은 내겐 그 순간들뿐 (Flashback)
네 입에서 말을 하는 순간
우리의 초점이 불규칙해지는 순간
모든 게 위험한 순간에
두 글자가 준 우리의 끝
안 울 걸 안 찢을 걸
그런 말은 못 한다고 앞으로 나도
이별 불치병
넌 내 시작과 끝 that is all
나의 만남과 나의 이별
전부였어 앞으로 가 fear
반복될 거야 너로 인한 tear, tear
About
Outro: Tear is the eleventh track off LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’ and continues BTS’s tradition of including an intro and outro on almost every album.
According to an article on Naver the song has been described as
a hip-hop track with samples from the main music from the LOVE YOURSELF Highlight Reel 轉 and member RM, Suga, and J-Hope’s powerful rapping."
The track is related to their last “Outro: Her”. The theme is similar, since they’re wondering about real love. However, TEAR is a darker reflection where they have discovered that love isn’t comprised solely of happy and lighthearted moments as they thought before.
In 2020, from their docu series Break the Silence, Yoongi revealed that this song was written to the members of BTS while they were discussing possibly disbanding.

In an Vlive by RM, one of the members of BTS, he said:
Our Outro is always good. I think it’s a great song. When I heard the piano instrumental, I thought it would be great. Thank you, DOCSKIM.
When I heard “[Outro:] Tear”, I thought I should do my best. It reminded me of my old rap, “What am I to You” [from their album Dark&Wild]. It’s been a while since I stopped shouting rap [style], so I tried it again, but it was really hard when recording. My voice became hoarse and I couldn’t record the next song. I should’ve recorded this last. I was stupid. My mom calls me a stupid bear – I realized that I really was.
For “Tear”, it was hard to make the chorus part, but Suga did a great job. The three of us made one individually, and Suga’s was the best. But the beat is unique. The composition of the song is special. So we didn’t like it when we combined both.
We added the “You’re my tear” part that I made towards the end. After adding it, after using the bridge part, “정답은 정해 있는데” (“The answer is fixed”), this part. We talked about who was going to sing it. i suggested Suga needed to sing it. Everyone agreed and Suga sang it. Suga made a great contribution to this song. […] Everyone’s role works well with this song.
The word “Tear” is interesting. “Tear” in English. You can shed tears and tear paper. The word symbolizes what a breakup means to each [of us]. It was [crying] tears for me, tearing apart for Yoongi (Suga). For Hoseok (J-Hope), it was fear, talking about after breaking up. For Hoseok (J-Hope) it was fear. Tear, tear and fear (T/N: he is referring to the chorus of the song). These are the three themes of this song. That’s how this album ends.
