시원한 바람 부는 창가에 앉아
(Umm-mm-mm, umm-mm-mm, umm-mm-mm)
먼 하늘 바라보며 너를 그려 난

어쩔 수 없는 난 바보인가 봐 (바보인가 봐)
(Umm-mm-mm, umm-mm-mm, umm-mm-mm)
사계절이 바뀌어도 변하지 않아

후회한들 소용없다 해도
난 널 애타게 생각해 (I was wrong)
아무 일도 없는 것처럼
웃어줄게 널 만나면

For you 난 아파도 좋아
함께하는 동안 너에게 상처만 남겨준 나니까
But you 니가 원한 사랑
나보다 나은 사람 만나 행복해
날 잊을 만큼만은 아니길

저 고요한 달빛에 잠 못 드는 밤
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
아무리 기다려도 넌 오질 않아

내 옆엔 초라한 빈자리 하나 (빈자리 하나)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
난 더 이상 혼자가 낯설지 않아

후회한들 소용없다 해도
난 널 애타게 생각해 (I was wrong)
아무 일도 없는 것처럼
웃어줄게 널 만나면

For you 난 아파도 좋아
함께하는 동안 너에게 상처만 남겨준 나니까
But you 니가 원한 사랑
나보다 나은 사람 만나 행복해
날 잊을 만큼만은 아니길

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (만큼만은 아니길)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (만큼만은 아니길)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

여전히 이곳에서 널 잊지 못해

For you 난 아파도 좋아 (yeah)
함께하는 동안 너에게 상처만 남겨준 나니까
But you 니가 원한 사랑

나보다 나은 사람 만나 행복해
날 잊을 만큼만은 아니길

Overall Meaning

The song "Hope Not" by BLACKPINK is a ballad that talks about a broken-hearted person who can't forget about their past love. The opening lines speak about the singer's current state, sitting by a window, feeling the cool breeze, and thinking about the person they can't get over. This person has clung onto the image of their ex in their mind, and even if the seasons change, they don't change their mind about missing them. The chorus suggests that the singer is willing to continue to endure the pain of their past love, even if it means that their ex-partner will find happiness with someone else. The repetition of the line "For you, I'm okay with being hurt" highlights that the singer is willing to bear the pain of their past love rather than moving on.

The second verse talks about how the singer struggles to sleep on nights where they constantly wait for their ex to come back, but they never do. The emptiness of the singer's side is present, although they're not uncomfortable with being alone anymore. The chorus repeats, signifying that the singer's feelings are still strong and consistent.

Overall, "Hope Not" is an emotional and poignant ballad that explores the theme of longing and heartbreak.

시원한 바람 부는 창가에 앉아
Sitting by the window where the fresh breeze blows

먼 하늘 바라보며 너를 그려 난
Looking up at the distant sky while drawing you in my mind

어쩔 수 없는 난 바보인가 봐 (바보인가 봐)
Seems like I am helpless and foolish

사계절이 바뀌어도 변하지 않아
I won't change even if the seasons change

후회한들 소용없다 해도
Even if it's useless to regret

난 널 애타게 생각해 (I was wrong)
I desperately think of you (I was wrong)

아무 일도 없는 것처럼
As if nothing is wrong

웃어줄게 널 만나면
I'll smile when I meet you

For you 난 아파도 좋아
For you, I'm okay with being hurt

함께하는 동안 너에게 상처만 남겨준 나니까
Because during our time together, I only left you with wounds
