Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
흐르던 눈물이 멈추질 않네요
가까스로 일어나도 다시 휘청거려요
이제는 정말 끝인가요
보란듯이 살거야 나약해지면 안돼
그 사람보다 더 행복해져야 돼
절대 뒤돌아 보지마
왜 혼자서 난 멈출줄 모르니
사랑해서 후회없다던 사랑해서 보내준다던
잔인한 거짓말 어떻게 그럴수 있어
사랑한다면 왜 이렇게 힘들게 하는지
이별했죠 이별한거 맞죠
심장이 미쳐서 아직도 착각하고 있나봐요
미련한 내가 나조차 너무 싫은데
서러움에 내 맘이 무너져요
정말 지운건 아닌지 덜컥 겁이 나 울죠
당신 없는 나 이렇게 살아요
사랑해서 후회없다던 사랑해서 보내준다던
騈曠� 거짓말 어떻게 그럴 수 있어
사랑한다면 왜 이렇게 힘들게 하는지
이별했죠 이별한거 맞죠
심장이 미쳐서 아직도 착각하고 있나봐요
미련한 내가 나조차 너무 싫은데
서러움에 내 맘이 무너져요
정말 지운건 아닌지 덜컥 겁이 나 울죠
당신 없는 나 어떻게 살아요
The song "Breaking Up" by Lee Eun Mee is an emotional ballad about the pain and difficulty of a breakup. The lyrics describe a person who is struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship, even though they may have tried to move on. The opening lines describe a bright sunny day that is too painful to face, with tears that still won't stop flowing. Despite their attempts to stand up, the person is still unsteady and unsure if this is truly the end. The chorus encourages the person to be strong and not weaken, to be happy without the other person, and to resist the urge to look back.
The second verse features more reflection and regret about the situation. The person remembers how they claimed to have no regrets about the love they shared or the decision to let go, but now they can see through the lies. The person questions why love can be so hard and inflict so much pain, even though they still feel the lingering effects of love in their heart. The chorus repeats, underscoring the ongoing difficulty of accepting the end and the pain that remains. The song ends with a final plea for strength to carry on without the other person, even if they are scared.
Overall, this song is a powerful expression of the universal experience of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from a profound connection with another person. Through the lyrics, the singer encourages listeners to hold onto hope, strength, and happiness, even in the darkness of a breakup.
