Roy Kim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
지금 모습 그대로 나를 꼭 안아주세요
우리 나중에는 어떻게 될진 몰라도
정해지지 않아서 그게 나는 좋아요
남들이 뭐라는 게 뭐가 중요해요
서로가 없음 죽겠는데 뭐를 고민해요
우리 함께 더 사랑해도 되잖아요
네가 다른 사람이 좋아지면
내가 너 없는 게 익숙해지면
그때가 오면 그때가 되면
그때 헤어지면 돼
너를 사랑하는 법도 어렵지 않아요
한 번 더 웃어주고 조금 더 아껴주면
우리 사랑하는 법도 어렵지 않아요
매일 처음 만난 눈빛으로
서로를 바라봐 주면
남들이 뭐라는 게 뭐가 중요해요
서로가 없음 죽겠는데 뭐를 고민해요
우리 함께 더 사랑해도 되잖아요
네가 다른 사람이 좋아지면
내가 너 없는 게 익숙해지면
그때가 오면 그때가 되면
그때 그때 그때
네가 원하든 말든 널 잡을 거고
내가 더 이상 지쳐 걷지 못할 때
그때가 오면 그때가 되면
그때 헤어지면 돼
그때 헤어지면 돼
In Roy Kim's song Only Then, he celebrates the simplicity and beauty of love. He says that loving him isn't difficult; all the person needs to do is to hold him tight as he is. He suggests that while they don't know what the future holds, he likes that it's not predetermined because there is still room for the two lovers to be together. He then shifts to talking about other people's opinions about their love, which he dismisses and argues that it's not important. He believes that when two people love each other, they shouldn't worry much about what others have to say.
Roy Kim then talks about the possibility of breaking up, saying they should not be afraid of it. If the other person falls in love with someone else, or he gets accustomed to living without them, and they feel that it's time to separate, then they should do it. He believes that love should not be forced, and when the time comes, they should let go.
The message in this song is simple and optimistic. Roy Kim suggests that love doesn't have to be complicated, and that people should be upfront with their feelings. He thinks that people should cherish the moment and not worry too much about tomorrow. He encourages people to follow their hearts even if it means letting go. Sometimes, it's better to part ways than to hold on to something that's no longer genuine.

Loving me is not hard
지금 모습 그대로 나를 꼭 안아주세요
Hold me just the way I am now
우리 나중에는 어떻게 될진 몰라도
We don't know what will happen in the future
정해지지 않아서 그게 나는 좋아요
But I like that it's not predetermined
남들이 뭐라는 게 뭐가 중요해요
It doesn't matter what others say
서로가 없음 죽겠는데 뭐를 고민해요
When we need each other so much, why worry?
우리 함께 더 사랑해도 되잖아요
We can love each other more together
네가 다른 사람이 좋아지면
If you fall in love with someone else
내가 너 없는 게 익숙해지면
If I get used to being without you
그때가 오면 그때가 되면
When that time comes
그때 헤어지면 돼
Just break up then
너를 사랑하는 법도 어렵지 않아요
Loving you is not hard either
한 번 더 웃어주고 조금 더 아껴주면
If we laugh together once more and cherish each other a bit more
우리 사랑하는 법도 어렵지 않아요
Loving each other is not hard either
매일 처음 만난 눈빛으로
Every day, with the same look we had when we first met
서로를 바라봐 주면
If we keep looking at each other
네가 원하든 말든 널 잡을 거고
Whether you want me to or not, I'll hold onto you
내가 더 이상 지쳐 걷지 못할 때
When I'm tired and can't walk anymore
그때가 오면 그때가 되면
When that time comes
그때 헤어지면 돼
Just break up then
