Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
재미없던 이야기가 끝난 걸
난 몰랐었지 기다렸던 건 나뿐인 걸
그 얘기 속 너와 날 계속 돌려봤어
아무 일도 없던 게 더 미치게 해
싸울 일 없어 no more
지겹고 좋았던 너의 간섭 이젠 없어
친구들을 만나고 요즘 뜬 곳을 가도
왜 느낌 없는 거야
You made me feel so high, babe
Then crashed me to the ground, babe
사랑을 난 잘 못하는데
너무나도 사랑에 쉽게 무너져 babe
Every time that I cry
My tears don't ever dry
머문 듯 흘러가는 낮과 밤
너를 그만큼도 몰랐던
너무 빠져버렸던
Was it really love, baby?
끝이 보여 I cry for love, babe
널 잡고 싶어 I cry for love, babe, yeah
들리지 않는 confession
날 괴롭히는 그 question
머리를 자르고
새로 나온 노랠 틀어도
Know I messed up this time (this time)
마음을 달래려 해봐도
왜 이렇게 힘들어
붙잡지 않아 no more
아프지 않아 no more
그렇게 차갑게 나도 돌아서고 싶어
난 그게 잘 안됐어
할 말도 없으면서 여길 떠나지 못해
You made me feel so high, babe
Then crashed me to the ground, babe
사랑을 난 잘 못하는데
너무나도 사랑에 쉽게 무너져 babe
저 끝이 보여 I cry for love, babe
널 잡고 싶어 I cry for love, babe, yeah
여긴 너로 가득한데
거기에 난 없겠지 none of mine
'Cause we're breaking up this time
I cry for love, babe, hoo
You made me feel so high, babe
Then crashed me to the ground, babe
사랑을 난 잘 못하는데
너무나도 사랑에 쉽게 무너져 babe
저 끝이 보여 I cry for love, babe
널 잡고 싶어 I cry for love, babe, yeah (woo I cry)
In love, in love
I used to be so in love
In love, in love
I used to be so in love
The song "Cry for Love" talks about the after-effects of a failed relationship. The song begins with the singer expressing how he didn't know that he was the only one meant for the person he had been waiting for. He sees his life moving on without any fights and interference from his ex-lover. The singer acknowledges that he can live without his ex-lover and how their relationship had started off well, but it ended badly. He talks about the times he had cried over the breakup, and his tears never dried. The singer wonders if he was genuinely in love with this person because he fell so quickly and easily. He struggles to come to terms with the end of their relationship, and he can't bring himself to let go. He ends the song by reminiscing about the times he was in love and how he wishes he could go back to that feeling.
The lyrics demonstrate the vulnerability and pain experienced after a failed relationship. 백현 (BAEKHYUN) attempts to paint a vivid picture of how it feels to be heartbroken, lost, and confused about the nature of the relationship. Through various descriptions of how he's been feeling, he hopes his listeners can relate to his situation.
