Honestly
Eric Nam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
상처를 주기가 너무 두려운거야
착한 게 아냐 날 위해 그런거야
아직도 널 사랑한다는 거짓말
Oh 넌 답을 원했지 시작부터
결말을 미리 본 영화처럼
부담스러웠지 넌 점점 더
빈 틈 없이 짜여진 스토리처럼
헤어지자 그 한마디가 잔인한 거겠지
입을 열어도 다시 삼키고 왜 못 뱉는거지
널 사랑은 하지만 조금 지친거야
상처를 주기가 너무 두려운거야
착한 게 아냐 날 위해 그런거야
아직도 널 사랑한다는 거짓말
Woah oh, woah oh (oh yeah)
Woah oh, woah oh (oh yeah)
하루에 몇 번씩 생각했지
나 없이 넌 어떻게 지낼지
지키지 못할 많은 약속들
이젠 의미 없는 말들로 남겠지
헤어지자 그 한마디가 잔인한 거겠지
입을 열어도 다시 삼키고 왜 못 뱉는거지
널 사랑은 하지만 조금 지친거야
상처를 주기가 너무 두려운거야
착한 게 아냐 날 위해 그런거야
아직도 널 사랑한다는 거짓말
Woah oh, woah oh (oh yeah)
Woah oh, woah oh (oh yeah)
헤어지자는 그 한마디를 왜 못 뱉는거지
사랑했지만 이제 지친거야
Baby I need you to say something, say something
너도 알잖아 이제 끝인거야
Baby I need you to say something, say something
Woah oh, woah oh (oh yeah)
사랑한다는 거짓말
Woah oh, woah oh (oh yeah)
사랑한다는 거짓말 oh (oh, oh)
The lyrics to Eric Nam's song Honestly are about the struggles of being in a relationship that has lost its spark. The singer in the song is tired and afraid of hurting their partner but unable to be completely honest about their feelings, so they continue to pretend that they still love them. The lines "널 사랑은 하지만 조금 지친거야" ("I do love you, but I'm a little tired") and "착한 게 아냐 날 위해 그런거야" ("It's not because I'm nice, it's just for me") reveal the singer's internal conflict. They are not staying with their partner out of love or kindness but rather out of self-preservation and fear of causing pain.
The chorus repeats the line "사랑한다는 거짓말" ("a lie that I love you"), emphasizing the lie that the singer is living. They are torn between wanting to end the relationship and not wanting to hurt their partner or face the reality of being alone. The song is a poignant commentary on the complexities of human relationships and the struggles of being honest about how we truly feel.

Like watching a movie and knowing the ending beforehand
부담스러웠지 넌 점점 더
You became more and more burdensome
빈 틈 없이 짜여진 스토리처럼
Like a story without any gaps
하루에 몇 번씩 생각했지
I thought about you several times a day
나 없이 넌 어떻게 지낼지
How will you live without me?
지키지 못할 많은 약속들
Many promises that couldn't be kept
이젠 의미 없는 말들로 남겠지
Now there are only meaningless words left
헤어지자는 그 한마디가 잔인한 거겠지
That one word 'let's break up' is cruel
입을 열어도 다시 삼키고 왜 못 뱉는거지
Why can't I speak out, even though I open my mouth and swallow it back?
사랑했지만 이제 지친거야
I loved you but I'm tired now
Baby I need you to say something, say something
Baby, I need you to say something, anything
너도 알잖아 이제 끝인거야
You know too, it's the end now
사랑한다는 거짓말
A lie that I love you
