너의 뒤에서
성시경 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

어제는 비가 내렸어
너도 알고 있는지
돌아선 그 골목에선 눈물이
언제나 힘들어하던
너를 바라보면서
이미 이별을 예감할수가 있었어
너에겐 너무 모자란
나란걸 알고 있기때문에

지금 떠나는 널
나는 잡을 수 없는거야
넌 이제 떠나지만
너의 뒤에 서있을꺼야
조금은 멀리 떨어져서
조금도 부담스럽지 않게
이제 떠나는 길에 힘들고
지쳐 쓰러질 때
조금도 기다리지 않고
나에게 안기어 쉴수있게
너의 뒤에서
언젠가 또 다시
내가 필요할 지도 몰라
나의 사랑이 나의 손길이 또 다시
표정없는 아픔의 나를
너는 많이도 미워하겠지
돌아선 나의 눈가에 고인 눈물을 알까
넌 이제 떠나지만
너의 뒤에 서있을꺼야
조금은 멀리 떨어져서 조금도
부담스럽지 않게
이제 떠나는 길에 힘들고 지쳐
쓰러질 때
조금도 기다리지 않고

나에게 안기어 쉴수있게
너의 뒤에서
