Let Me Go
J.C. Andersen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

네가 아닌 누구라도 괜찮아
맘에도 없는 말을 뱉었어
그게 더 나을 것만 같아서 yeah

어차피 우린 다 끝난 거잖아
괜히 더 미련 남을 말들로
복잡해지고 싶지 않아서 그랬어

아마도 난 이제 너를
사랑하지 않는 것 같아
의미 없는 그 이유들을
묻지는 말아 줘

그냥 모두 다
싫증이 났어 그보다
행복하지가 않은 내가 보기 싫어서
난 이별을 말해야겠어

난 너보다
괜찮은 사람이 아냐
그래서 미안해
보내줬음 좋겠어 그만 너도 날 이젠 놓아줘

다른 사람이 있다 해도 괜찮아
차라리 그랬으면 좋겠어
네가 덜 아플 것만 같아서

아마도 난 네 말대로
후회하게 될지도 몰라
너를 위한 거짓말들을
믿지는 말아 줘

그냥 모두 다
싫증이 났어 그보다
행복하지가 않은 내가 보기 싫어서
난 이별을 말해야겠어

난 너보다
괜찮은 사람이 아냐
그래서 미안해
보내줬음 좋겠어 그만 너도 날 이젠 놓아줘

내가 다 미안해 인사는 안 할래
이젠 웃기로 해
Uh 내가 다 미안해 더 이상의 말은 않을래
잘 지내기를 바랄게

네 손길조차
아무렇지 않은 나야
느껴지지 않아 차가운 마음속에
더는 머물지 말아 줘

꼭 나보다
더 좋은 사람을 만나

행복하길 바래
날 잊어도 괜찮아 그만 너도 우리를 놓아줘

See I can still remember when
I recall a past event

You said you were my only friend
You claimed to be my sole companion

Yeah Mr. Fear you captured me
Fear held me captive

I was blinded and couldn't see
I was unable to see

That real love was bound to come
I will eventually find true love

And confront what I was running from
It will help me face my problems

(He) opened up my eyes and let me know
He made me realize and understand

That I don't need you no mo'
I don't need fear anymore

Time to time I must remind you
Every now and then, I need to remind you

That we're not tight the way we used to
We're not as close as before

Before you tell me what you came for
Before you state your purpose
