Lyrics

#

물 한 잔만 마셔도 (Mul han janman masyeodo)
Even just drinking a glass of water

속이 얹힌 것 같아 (Sogi eokhin geot gata)
Feels like something is weighing on my stomach

니 생각에 하루 종일 (Ni saenggage haru jongil)
All day thinking of you

체한 듯이 살아 (Chehan deusi sal-a)
I live as if I’m suffering from indigestion

잃어버린 잔만큼 (Ilheobeorin janmankeum)
As much as I’ve lost

술은 조금 늘었고 (Sureun jogeum neureotgo)
I’ve slightly increased my drinking

귀만 아프게 슬픈 노래만 (Gwiman apeuge seulpeun noraeman)
Only sad songs that hurt my ears

꺼내 듣곤 해 (Kkeonae deutgon hae)
I play and listen to them

너와 많이 닮은 누군가를 소개 받아도 (Neowa manhi talmeun nugungareul sogae badado)
Even if I’m introduced to someone who resembles you a lot

그게 너일 수는 없으니까 (Geuge neoil su-neun eopseunikka)
Because it can’t be you

말도 못해 (Maldo motae)
I can’t even say anything

보다시피 난 잘 못 지내 (Bodasipi nan jal mot jinae)
As you can see, I’m not doing well

너의 기억과 눈물만 삼키면 (Neoui gieokgwa nunmulman samkimyeon)
Swallowing only your memories and my tears

마지못해 살아 (Majimothae sal-a)
I barely live on

말해 뭐해 (Malhae mwohae)
What’s there to say

대충 잘 지내고 싶지만 안 돼 (Daechung jal jinaego sipjiman an dwae)
I want to be okay but I can’t

눈 뜨고 보기 힘든 내 하루가 (Nun tteugo bogi himdeun nae haruga)
My day, hard to face with open eyes

말도 못해 (Maldo motae)
I can’t even say anything

제정신이 힘들어 (Jejeongsini himdeureo)
It’s hard to stay sane

실컷 취해 걸으면 (Silkeot chwihae georeumyeon)
When I walk around fully drunk

딴 건 몰라도 너의 집 앞은 (Ttan geon mollado neoui jip apeun)
I don’t know about other things but in front of your house

기억나더라 (Gieoknadeora)
I remember

내게 했던 거짓말까지도 사랑했는데 (Naeger haetdeon geojismalkkajido saranghaetneunde)
I even loved the lies you told me

니가 어떻게 날 떠날 수 있어 (Niga eotteohge nal tteonal su isseo)
How could you leave me

말도 못해 (Maldo motae)
I can’t even say anything

보다시피 난 잘 못 지내 (Bodasipi nan jal mot jinae)
As you can see, I’m not doing well

너의 기억과 눈물만 삼키면 (Neoui gieokgwa nunmulman samkimyeon)
Swallowing only your memories and my tears

마지못해 살아 (Majimothae sal-a)
I barely live on

말해 뭐해 (Malhae mwohae)
What’s there to say

대충 잘 지내고 싶지만 안 돼 (Daechung jal jinaego sipjiman an dwae)
I want to be okay but I can’t

행복할 리 없는 날 너만 몰라 (Haengbokhal li eomneun nal neoman molla)
Only you don’t know that I can’t be happy

제발 미안하길 원해 (Jebal mianhagil wonhae)
Please, I wish you would feel sorry

걱정하길 바래 (Geokjeonghagil barae)
I hope you worry

니가 망치고 간 (Niga mangchigo gan)
You ruined

내 사랑을 위해 (Nae sarangeul wihae)
For my love

하루만 돌아와주라 (Haruman dorawajura)
Just come back for one day

이해 안 돼 (Ihae an dwae)
I don’t understand

너만 괜찮을 리 없잖아 (Neoman gwaenchanheul ri eopjanha)
You can’t be the only one okay

말이 안 되잖아 (Mari an doejana)
It doesn’t make sense

왜 같이 사랑하고 같이 끝내놓고 (Wae gati saranghago gati kkeutnaenohgo)
Why love together and end it together

나만 아픈 건데 (Naman apeun geonde)
But only I am in pain

꼭 돌아와 (Kkok dorawa)
Please come back

니가 있어야 할 자리로 제발 (Niga isseoya hal jarilo jebal)
To the place where you should be

몇 년이 걸린대도 오기만 해 (Myeot nyeoni geollyindaedo ogiman hae)
Even if it takes years, just come

부탁할게 (Butakhalge)
I’ll ask of you
