좋았던 우리 기억
정도는 가져가줄께
어차피 붙잡아도
니가 떠날걸 알기에
아무렇지 않게
우리 이별을 다 받아줄께
아무것도 나는 할 수 조차 없었으니까
그래 이제 두 번 다시
너를 찾지 않을께
보고싶어도 너 그리워도
다 참아줄께
이제 다신 찾지마
그녀에게로 가
나도 다른 사람 만나서
행복할테니까
니가 돌아올 자리 따윈 없으니깐
다신 찾지마 다신 찾지마
날 찾지마
자주 다니던 거리에 혼자 있어도
니가 좋아하던
그 노래가 흘러 나와도
비가 내려서 나도 모르게
니 생각 나도 너무 힘들어
눈물이 나도 다 참아줄께
이제 다신 찾지마
그녀에게로 가
나도 다른 사람 만나서
행복할테니까
니가 돌아올 자리 따윈 없으니깐
다신 찾지마 다신 찾지마
날 찾지마
아직 멍하니 하루 종일 울지만
너없이 있는게 좀 어색하지만
니 생각에 매일 잠도 못자고 나 있지만
너 없이도 난 괜찮으니까
이제 다신 찾지마
그녀에게로 가
나도 다른 사람 만나서
행복할테니까
어차피 끝났어 우린 여기까지니까
다신 찾지마 다신 찾지마
날 찾지마
The lyrics to 다비치's song "다신 찾지마" (Don't Look for Me Again) tell the story of a breakup and the singer's determination to move on. The song starts with the singer expressing their intentions to erase all memories of their former lover and to willingly accept the pain of the separation. They acknowledge that even if they tried to hold on, they know that the person will still leave. The singer tries to appear unaffected and promises to bear the weight of their farewell.
The second verse reveals the singer's initial vulnerability and helplessness, feeling pitiful and unable to do anything. However, they make a firm decision to not search for or long for their ex-lover anymore. Even if they miss them, they will endure the pain. The chorus reinforces this resolve, urging the ex-lover to never look for the singer again and instead find happiness with someone else. The singer firmly declares that there is no place for them to return and requests not to be sought after.
In the bridge, the singer admits that it is still awkward to be alone in the places they used to frequent together or hear the songs they enjoyed. They confess that thinking of the ex-lover is still difficult and tears come involuntarily, yet they will continue to bear it. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's strong determination to move on and firmly asks the ex-lover to not search for them anymore.

이젠 너의 모든 걸 다 지워보려 해
Now I'm trying to erase everything about you
좋았던 우리 기억 정도는 가져가줄께
I'll keep the memories of when we were happy
어차피 붙잡아도 니가 떠날걸 알기에
Because I know you'll leave even if I hold on
아무렇지 않게 우리 이별을 다 받아줄께
I'll accept our breakup as if it doesn't bother me
초라해보였어 내가 안쓰러웠어
I appeared pitiful, I was not able to do anything
아무것도 나는 할 수 조차 없었으니까
Because I couldn't even do anything
그래 이제 두 번 다시 너를 찾지 않을께
Yes, from now on I won't look for you twice
보고싶어도 너 그리워도 다 참아줄께

다신 찾지마 다신 찾지마 날 찾지마
Don't find me again, don't find me again, don't find me
자주 다니던 거리에 혼자 있어도
Even when I'm alone on the street we often went to
니가 좋아하던 그 노래가 흘러 나와도
Even if the song you liked starts playing
비가 내려서 나도 모르게
Unknowingly, tears fall as it rains
니 생각 나도 너무 힘들어
I'm finding it too difficult to think about you
눈물이 나도 다 참아줄께
Even if tears fall, I'll endure it all
아직 멍하니 하루 종일 울지만
Although I still blankly cry all day long
너없이 있는게 좀 어색하지만
Being without you feels awkward, but
니 생각에 매일 잠도 못자고 나 있지만
I can't sleep every day because of thoughts of you, but
너 없이도 난 괜찮으니까
I'm okay even without you
어차피 끝났어 우린 여기까지니까
Anyway, we're done, so it's the end for us
다신 찾지마 다신 찾지마 날 찾지마
Don't find me again, don't find me again, don't find me
