혼자 하는 사랑
서현 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
너무 쉽게 놓아버린 너
영원하잔 말도
네겐 그저 말뿐이었어
마음이 아파
한 번 더 네 맘을
믿어주려 했었던
내 모습이 싫었어
네 목소리가 떠오른 순간마다
널 보고 싶어 난 못 참겠어
너의 흔적은 다 남김없이
모두 지워버리고 싶어
'Cause baby your love ain't
love ain't good enough now
네 사랑은 No way no way
부족했어
너에게 돌아가지 않을래
네 품에 안기지도 않을래
Cause baby your love ain't
love ain't love ain't good enough
네 이기적인 맘에
자꾸만 쉽게 상처받은 나
지켜준단 말도
가볍게 뱉은 말뿐이었어
마음이 아파
널 믿을수록 더
지쳐 가고 있는
날 보고 싶진 않았어
네 목소리가 떠오른 순간마다
널 보고 싶어 난 못 참겠어
너의 미소도 다 남김없이
모두 지워버리고 싶어
'Cause baby your love ain't
love ain't good enough now
네 사랑은 No way no way
부족했어
너에게 돌아가지 않을래
네 품에 안기지도 않을래
'Cause baby your love ain't
love ain't love ain't good enough
이제 와서 후회해도
이미 끝나버렸다는 걸 왜 몰라
더 바보처럼
너의 옆에 있던 내가
이제 더 이상은 아냐
필요 없어 ain't love you boy
'Cause baby your love ain't
love ain't good enough now
네 사랑은 No way no way
부족했어
너에게 돌아가지 않을래
네 품에 안기지도 않을래
'Cause baby your love ain't
love ain't love ain't good enough
이제 와서 후회해도
이미 끝나버렸다는 걸 왜 몰라
더 바보처럼
Won't do it baby
Won't do it baby
I won't do it baby
Won't do it baby
너에게 돌아가지 않을래
네 품에 안기지도 않을래
Cause baby your love ain't
love ain't love ain't good enough
In "04. 혼자 하는 사랑" (Alone in Love), Seohyun showcases her emotional depth that explores the pain of a broken relationship. The lyrics portray the singer as being hurt by the lack of emotion from their lover. They apologize for letting go of their partner easily with just words but they realized that their words were not enough for them. The singer's heart is still aching, and she wants to believe in their love once more, but it's getting hard to hold on to the hope. The verses suggest that the singer is vulnerable, and she misses her partner terribly that her partner's voice and traces play tricks in her mind, making it hard to move on.
The chorus implies that the partner's love was not enough for the singer, as she used to believe long-term love exists, but in the end, what her partner can offer her is not enough. It seems the singer is hurt by her partner's selfish nature as she kept getting hurt while holding on to her partner's promise to protect her. The rap in English in the latter part accentuates the singer's sentiment of giving up on her lover and walking away from that relationship.
In a nutshell, the song presents lots of emotional layers that unveil the singer's confusion, doubt, and pain after the breakup. It showcases Seohyun's vocal range and powerful delivery in capturing the emotions and frustration that come with a failed relationship.
