The lyrics of Kihyun's song "If You Really Love Me" convey mixed emotions and the pain of losing a loved one. The song starts with Kihyun saying that if the person he loved truly loved him, they wouldn't have ended up separating. He reflects on the moments they spent together, and how even though he thought about it several times, he couldn't imagine their love coming to an end. Kihyun further highlights how if they were to be together again, they would still have an unspoken discomfort weighing on them.
In the second verse, Kihyun says that even if the person he loved came back to him, he wouldn't feel the same and their love wouldn't be the same as it used to be. He then confesses how he promised to never let go of the person’s hand tightly holding onto theirs, but now he is left with nothing. The chorus repeats the idea that despite everything, the love Kihyun had for the person he lost is still there. The bridge speaks about how Kihyun regrets not holding onto the person tighter, and now that they are gone, he can’t get them back even if he tries.
Overall, "If You Really Love Me" shows the pain of losing someone even when you promise to love each other forever, how relationships can be uncomfortable as time goes by, and how the feelings associated with love can be complicated.
