괜찮은 척 무던한 척을 해봤어
너라면 참지 못할 말도 보태서
외로웠다 말하면 알아들을까
어떻게 널 돌릴까 고민했어

평소처럼 하란 말이야
잘해보잔 말 덧붙여서
아닌데 이게 아닌데

모르는 척하는 내가 싫었어

눈이 말하더라 여기에 네가 없더라
헤어지잔 말을 꺼내기 전에 내가 알겠더라
아직은 아니야 가슴이 먼저 막더라
내 귓가에 맘속엔 너 없인 안된다더라

기다렸니 내 입에서
끝내잔 말 나올 때까지
아는데 나도 아는데
알면서도 버틴 내가 싫었어

눈이 말하더라 여기에 네가 없더라
헤어지잔 말을 꺼내기 전에 내가 알겠더라
아직은 아니야 가슴이 먼저 막더라
내 귓가에 맘속엔 너 없인 안된다더라

늦은 거니 나는 안 되겠니
묻고 있는 날 봐 미안해

알아 내 탓이야 네가 져줬던 거야
가지 말란 말을 꺼내기 전에 내가 알겠더라

마지막 만큼은 네 말을 듣고 싶은데
그게 안 돼 미안해 끝까지 이런 나라서

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ben's song "눈이 말하더라" (Literal translation: The eyes spoke) depict a person who pretends to be okay and indifferent, even though they cannot hold back their true feelings. They express their loneliness and contemplate how to distance themselves from someone they care about. The singer mentions that they have tried to act as if everything is normal and even complimented the other person to appear unaffected. However, they become frustrated with themselves for pretending and not being honest about their true emotions.

The chorus, "눈이 말하더라 여기에 네가 없더라" (Literal translation: The eyes said that you're not here), highlights the impact of the other person's absence. The singer realizes that they cannot bring themselves to say the words of parting before they already knew it. They admit that it is not yet the right time to let go because their heart is preventing them from doing so. The line "내 귓가에 맘속엔 너 없인 안된다더라" (Literal translation: In my ears, my heart says I can't be without you) emphasizes the strong emotional attachment they still have.

As the song progresses, the singer questions if it is too late and wonders if the other person will still accept them. They express regret for their actions and apologize for asking questions when they knew the answer all along. They understand that it was their fault and acknowledge that the other person had already given up on them.

Overall, "눈이 말하더라" portrays the inner struggle of an individual trying to maintain a facade of strength and indifference, even though their heart yearns for the person they are trying to distance themselves from. It explores the complexities of holding onto feelings that cannot easily be let go and the regret that comes with not being honest from the beginning.
