Confession
Joonil Jung Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
다신 마주치지 않도록 그렇게 지내자
별다를 거 없어 사는 게 그렇잖아
언제나처럼 우린 늘 혼자였잖아
생각보단 쉬울 것 같아
너없이 하루를 사는 게 내겐 지금보다
마음 졸이며 널 기다린 하루보다
그런데 왜 지금 나 널 그리워하는 거니?
네가 없는 하루하루가 왜이리 힘드니
네가 보고 싶다고 너무 보고 싶다고
전하지도 못할 말들을 하곤 했어
이제야 내 맘 다 알 것 같은데
오랜만에 누굴 만나서
시덥잖은 얘길 하고 소리 내어 웃곤 해
괜찮다고 아무렇지 않은 날 보며
너의 마음이 조금만 더 아팠으면 해
괜찮다고 말하던 친구들의 위로에
아무렇지 않은 것처럼 겨우 웃어보지만
아무리 달려봐도 결국엔 그 자리에
난 너를 그리워하는가봐
미안해 나 지금 너에게 달려가고 있어
차마 네게 할 수 없던 말 이젠 고백할게
너를 사랑한다고 너무 사랑한다고
바보 같은 내 맘 받아 줄 수 있겠니?
이제야 내가 날 알 것 같은데
이렇게 난 널 그리워하는데
The lyrics of Joonil Jung's song "Confession" delve into the complexities of love, loss, and longing. The singer starts off by expressing a desire to end things and not meet again, reflecting on how mundane life feels without the other person and acknowledging that they always felt alone even when together. The solitude seems easier than the pain of waiting and yearning for someone who may not return.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on how life may seem easier without their love, but the days without them are filled with hardship and a constant yearning. Despite trying to convince themselves that it's better to be alone, the feelings of missing the other person intensify, leading to unspoken confessions of love and longing. The internal conflict between wanting to be alone for comfort and yearning for the other person's presence is palpable in the lyrics.
The loneliness and longing continue to weigh heavily on the singer as they meet with others and engage in small talk and laughter to mask the pain. Despite assurances from friends that everything is fine and they should move on, the singer struggles to truly smile and let go of the memories that keep them tethered to the past. The raw vulnerability and honesty in the lyrics showcase the internal turmoil of missing someone deeply.
In the final verses, the singer's emotions reach a breaking point as they apologize for not expressing their feelings sooner and finally muster the courage to confess their love. The plea for acceptance of their foolish heart and the uncertainty of whether the other person will reciprocate their feelings add a layer of emotional depth to the song. The bittersweet realization of self-awareness and deep yearning portrayed in the lyrics captures the essence of unrequited love and the longing for connection that remains unfulfilled.

우리 이제 그만하자
Let's stop now, so we never cross paths again
다신 마주치지 않도록 그렇게 지내자
Let's live in a way that we never meet again
별다를 거 없어 사는 게 그렇잖아
There's nothing special about living like this
언제나처럼 우린 늘 혼자였잖아
Just like always, we were always alone
생각보단 쉬울 것 같아
It seems easier than I thought
너없이 하루를 사는 게 내겐 지금보다
Living a day without you is harder now than before
마음 졸이며 널 기다린 하루보다
It's harder than a day of yearning and waiting for you
어쩌면 혼자인 게 더 편할 테니까
Maybe it's easier being alone
그런데 왜 지금 나 널 그리워하는 거니?
But why am I missing you so much now?
네가 없는 하루하루가 왜이리 힘드니
Why are the days without you so hard?
네가 보고 싶다고 너무 보고 싶다고
I miss you so much, I really miss you
전하지도 못할 말들을 하곤 했어
I used to say things I couldn't say
이제야 내 맘 다 알 것 같은데
Now I think I know my heart better
오랜만에 누굴 만나서
Meeting someone after a long time
시덥잖은 얘길 하고 소리 내어 웃곤 해
Having trivial conversations and laughing out loud
괜찮다고 아무렇지 않은 날 보며
Watching a day where everything seems fine
너의 마음이 조금만 더 아팠으면 해
I wish your heart hurt a little more
괜찮다고 말하던 친구들의 위로에
In the comfort of friends saying it's okay
아무렇지 않은 것처럼 겨우 웃어보지만
Forcing a smile as if nothing is wrong
아무리 달려봐도 결국엔 그 자리에
No matter how much I run, I end up in the same place
난 너를 그리워하는가봐
I guess I'm missing you
미안해 나 지금 너에게 달려가고 있어
I'm sorry, I'm running to you right now
차마 네게 할 수 없던 말 이젠 고백할게
The words I couldn't say to you before, I'll confess now
너를 사랑한다고 너무 사랑한다고
I love you, I love you so much
바보 같은 내 맘 받아 줄 수 있겠니?
Can you accept my foolish heart?
이제야 내가 날 알 것 같은데
Now I think I know myself
이렇게 난 널 그리워하는데
This is how I miss you

Let’s break up
Let’s try to never run into each other again
It won’t be much different
That’s life
We were always alone
I think it’ll be easier than I think
Living without you will be easier than right now
It’ll be easier than anxiously waiting for you
Being alone might be more comfortable
But why am I missing you right now?
Why is each day without you so hard?
I miss you, I miss you so much
I said those words that I couldn’t even tell you
Now I think I finally know my heart
I met someone for the first time in a while
Saying things that don’t make sense and laughing out loud
As you see me being okay and completely fine
I wish you would hurt a little bit more
But why am I missing you right now?
Why is each day without you so hard?
I miss you, I miss you so much
I said those words that I couldn’t even tell you
Now I think I finally know my heart
When my friends comfort me and say it’ll be okay
I try to smile as if it’s nothing
But no matter how much I run, I’m still in the same place
I am still missing you
I’m sorry, I’m running to you right now
I’ll confess the words that I couldn’t bear to tell you
That I love you, that I love you so much
Can you accept my foolish heart?
Now I think I finally know
I am missing you like this

I'm here because of him. Jong Joon Il. I never heard any version, cause his voice what i really want to hear.
@aidss2957
nobody asked
@jaanish3
Nobody asked, but maybe because lots of people said saw this because of Sungjae, etc. Me too, see this because of the original Jun Joon Il. Not because of someone else.
