If i were you
MIGYO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

긴 머리는 쉽게 잘라도
널 잘라내는 건 참 쉽지 않나 봐
또 화면 위를 눈물로 넘기다
결국 참지 못하고
네 사진을 누르는
내가 싫어

단 하루라도 나로 살아보면 내 맘 알까요
잠시라도 날 느낄 수 있다면
네 생각만 스쳐도
눈물로 무너지는 날
너는 알아도 모를 거야

나 입에도 안 대던 술을 찾고
막 늦은 밤길을 취해 서성이고
또 몰라보게 야위어가는 건
나 좀 걱정하라고
너를 잊지 못하는
나를 보고 미안하라고

단 하루라도 나로 살아보면 내 맘 알까요
잠시라도 날 느낄 수 있다면
네 생각만 스쳐도
눈물로 무너지는 날
너는 알아도 모를 거야

작은 숨소리만 달라져도
밤새 걱정해주던
그날의 너로
나만의 너로
돌아올 수 있다면
그걸로 난 살아가

단 하루라도 너로 살아보면 행복할까요
모두 없던 일로 잊을 수 있다면
다른 건 다 버려도
차마 널 끊지 못하는




이런 나를 안다면
다시 거짓말처럼 돌아와 줘

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MIGYO's song "If I Were You" explore themes of longing, heartbreak, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The song begins by acknowledging the difficulty of letting go, even if physically cutting off ties seems easy. The singer admits to repeatedly scrolling through photos of the person they can't forget, expressing frustration with themselves for not being able to resist the temptation. The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and vulnerability.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's feelings. They confess to seeking solace in alcohol and aimlessly wandering the streets late at night. They also express a desire for the other person to worry about them, to understand the pain they are going through and feel sorry for not being able to forget them.


The chorus suggests that if the other person were to live a day in the singer's shoes, they might finally understand the depth of their feelings. Even a fleeting thought of the person brings tears, but the singer realizes that the other person may never truly comprehend the impact they had on them.


The bridge of the song yearns for any small indication that the other person still cares, even a change in their breathing. The singer reminisces about the person they used to know, the one who would stay up all night worrying about them. They express a willingness to accept that version of the person if it means they can have them back in their life.


Overall, "If I Were You" captures the complex emotions of heartbreak, longing, and the struggle to let go of someone who has deeply impacted one's life.
