Jonghyun 종현 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't cry and smile
가슴 시리던 시간들
모두다 보내줄거야
So goodbye
어둠속 외롭던 나
난 네가 필요해
I need your love again
아픈 상처와
슬픈 기억을 지워가던 나
널 처음 본 그 순간에 난
멈춘듯했고 난 너만 보였어
거친시련에 무너져 가지만
후회는 없을 것 같아
두눈을 감으면
니 숨결이 느껴져
이제는 난 웃을 수 있어
So goodbye
Don't cry and smile
가슴 시리던 시간들
모두다 보내줄거야
So goodbye
어둠속 외롭던 나
난 네가 필요해
I need your love again
거친시련에 무너져 가지만
후회는 없을 것 같아
두눈을 감으면
니 숨결이 느껴져
이제는 난 웃을 수 있어
So goodbye
Don't cry and smile
가슴 시리던 시간들
모두다 보내줄거야
So goodbye
어둠속 외롭던 나
난 네가 필요해
I need your love again
So goodbye
Don't cry and smile
힘겹던 시간들 널 위해서
널 위해 잊어볼꺼야
So goodbye
어둠속 외롭던 나
난 네가 필요해
I need your love again
난 네가 필요해
I need you for my love
The song "So Goodbye" by JongHyun is a heart-wrenching ballad about the conflicting emotions of leaving someone you love. The lyrics speak about the pain of goodbye, but also the need to move forward and find happiness again. The chorus encourages the listener to "Don't cry and smile" as all the painful moments in their heart will eventually be let go. The singer constantly references the pain and loneliness they felt before meeting their love, but also emphasize that, to leave someone you once loved, is an equally difficult process.
The opening lines of the song immediately set the tone for the rest: "So goodbye, Don't cry and smile, 가슴 시리던 시간들, 모두다 보내줄거야" ("So goodbye, Don't cry and smile, I will let go of all the times that pained my heart"). The repetition of "So Goodbye" throughout the song also emphasizes the finality of a goodbye, while the rest of the lyrics express the singer's desire to move on while still needing their former love. There is a sense of acceptance that the pain of losing their love is necessary, yet at the same time, they cannot help but long for their love to return.

gonna rant here cos no one reads youtube comments and im so upset and confused and i dont know what to feel
its been a few hours since jonghyun’s death and when i heard about it, i was in the spur of the moment bc my cousin was making me laugh but now it just HITS and it hit so hard
i can’t cry or sob , it’s just very heavy on my chest and i want to cry so bad . he’s been such an inspiration and a big oof to the kpop community and to see him go is just so
i can’t its too much . jonghyun will forever be an important role for the kpop community . snawols, sweeties take care please . deepest condolence
if you are or have gone through depressive episodes, please seek help . suicide is never the fucking answer and i know this has been repeated so much but hear me out, its true . keep on pushing through, suffering like this isn’t gonna help . have faith . love urself . be true to urself , take care of urself damn it u are worth SO MUCH please so many people out there love you and u need to remember and realize that 💜
