오늘도 난 잠이 들기 전에 잠시 동안 기도를 해
제발 널 지울 수 있는 지혜를 간절히 바라는 맘으로
이별로 인한 나의 아픈 마음이 다음 사람에게 잘못 하지 않도록
상처를 준 그를 용서할 수 있는 마음을 주소서
비록 약하고 욕심 많은 나지만 나를 위해 작은 소리로 말해줘요
(Just let it go) 들려요 이젠
It's alright, It's ok. 잠시뿐인걸 아픔은 사라질 거야
나의 가슴 무너져도 언젠가는 좋은 추억이 될 거라고
너무 외롭고 힘들 때마다 날 위해 위로해준 그들을 축복 해주시고
우릴 갈라놓으려던 그들을 깨닫게 하소서
(Just let it go) 들려요 이젠
It's alright. It's ok. 잠시뿐인걸 아픔은 사라질 거야
나의 가슴 무너져도 언젠가는 좋은 추억이 될 거라고
널 잊기 위해 이렇게 기도를 해 니가 싫어져서가 아니야
이 아픔이 끝나지 않을까봐 그래
(I can't let it go)
It's alright 떠나버려도 다른 사람 만난대도
나의 가슴 무너져도 새로운 맘을 주시기를
This is my prayer

보아는 발라드 곡에서 무언가 처연하면서도 깊게 남는 슬픔이 있음.. 일본에서도 발라드곡들이 성공한 케이스가 많은 걸 보면.. 발라드 모음집을 내는 것도 좋을듯..
@user-gy3nl3ol6o
보아가 요즘 많이 힘들어하는 것 같아서 마음이 아프다...이 뮤비가 갑자기 생각나서 와봤네...이 노래로 위로도 많이 받고 울기도 많이 울었는데... 보아가 행복했으면 좋겠다 보아 힘내요
