이런 법이 어딨어
에일리 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
너 정말로 이럴 거니 이거밖에 안되니 어쩜 이러니
안돼 안돼 이런 게 어딨어
사랑하게 해 놓고 이제와 이런 법이 어딨어
못 해 못 해 난 절대 못해
안녕 그 말만은 꺼내지마
다 알면서 왜 이러니
몇 번이나 말했어 이별은 못 들은 걸로 할게
안돼 안돼 이런 게 어딨어
사랑하게 해 놓고 이제와 이런 법이 어딨어
못 해 못 해 난 절대 못해
안녕 그 말만은 꺼내지마
처음 널 봤을 때 천천히 다가와
내게 떨리는 그 입술로 사랑한다고
나를 흔들어 놓고 널 사랑하게 해 놓고
이제와 네가 왜 떠나 떠나지마
넌 사랑이 쉬운가 봐
참 이별도 쉬운가 봐
난 그렇게 안 되는데
준비도 못했는데 이젠 어떻게
안돼 안돼 이런 게 어딨어
사랑하게 해놓고 이제와 이런 법이 어딨어
못 해 못 해 난 절대 못해
안녕 그 말만은 꺼내지마
제발 제발 날 떠나 가지마
이렇겐 널 못 보내 (못 보내) 죽어도 이렇게는 못 보내 no
말 해 (말 해) 말 해 (말 해) 아니라고
Oh 제발 안녕이라 말하지마
Ah oh baby please, umm
The lyrics of 에일리's song "이런 법이 어딨어" express feelings of disbelief, frustration, and heartbreak after being hurt by a lover. The singer cannot comprehend how the other person can treat them this way after professing love and creating a strong connection. The lyrics repeat phrases like "안돼 안돼 이런 게 어딨어" (No, no, where is this kind of behavior coming from) and "사랑하게 해 놓고 이제와 이런 법이 어딨어" (You made me love you and now, why is this the way it is). The singer admits to being unable to handle the situation and asks the other person not to say goodbye.
The lyrics also describe the initial stages of the relationship, when the singer first saw the other person and slowly fell in love. They reflect on the vulnerability and excitement they felt when the other person professed their love. The sudden departure of this person confuses and hurts the singer, as they were not expecting it and were unprepared to handle the heartbreak.

This song suits me perfectly now..
The guy who used to be my crush confessed to me. After the confession, he made me love him again. But now, he doesn't like me anymore. I guess he has left me completely. It hurts but .. goodbye? :)
@lipglossandluv
Natelie Chen I went through the same situation except he broke up with me with the same girl he told me not to worry about. He did it on the day I got the news I was accepted into my city's performing arts high school. I used to play this song through out my first year of high school. I get a little choked up when I hear this song but I love it so much.
