I'm Sorry
NU'EST Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey so sorry

Screaming and arguing, nothing but sorrow
In my mind, I hear your voice, echo
Now that you left me, there's nothing, I'm hollow
I'm sorry, now let me show you my soul, oh

머리 속은 까맣게 널 잊어버리고 살아가는 동안

나의 곁엔 어느센가 누가 있어
마치 반복되는 것처럼
미안한 맘 일거야
난 아직 그녀를 사랑하지 않아
계속 반복되는 하루 그 안에서
그저 살아가고 있는데

안되는 걸 알면서 또 전활 걸었어 (hey)
안되는 걸 알면서 왜 연락했냐고 (ho)
믿어지지 않았었지만
차분한 목소리로 너는 내게 말했어

행복했던 기억까지 거짓말처럼 (hey)
처음부터 없었던 건 아니었을까 (ho)
어지러운데 어지러운데 yeah

Kill my soul, kill my name
Kill my pain a good for me
원하고 원했지만 내겐 니가 없어
오직 너의 기억뿐인데
Kill my soul, kill my name
Kill my pain a good for me
왜 내 맘은 이렇게 너에게로 oh no

언제나 나의 기억 속 너에게
불안한 나의 마음을 들킬까봐
숨기고 숨기며 피하고 싶어서
멀어져 가는 널 보며

난 너를 사랑하지만 이제
더 이상 너는 없어 이곳에
널 보고 싶어도 볼 수가 없는데
너의 미소 그 눈물 오 I need you

안되는 걸 알면서 또 전활 걸었어 (hey)
안되는 걸 알면서 왜 연락했냐고 (ho)
믿어지지 않았었지만
차분한 목소리로 너는 내게 말했어

행복했던 기억까지 거짓말처럼 (hey)
처음부터 없었던 건 아니었을까 (ho)
어지러운데 어지러운데 yeah

Kill my soul, kill my name (no)
Kill my pain a good for me
원하고 원했지만 내겐 니가 없어
오직 너의 기억뿐인데
Kill my soul, kill my name (oh 믿어지지 않았어 하지만)
Kill my pain a good for me
차가운 목소리로
너는 내게 말했어 oh no

In my love in my pain (kill my soul, kill my name)
나의 기억 속에 넌
따듯한 미소로 나를 안아 주었어 (kill my pain a good for me)
비바람 속에 지친 내 속에
소리 없이 내게로 들어와 안아 주었어 (안되는 걸 알면서 또 전활 걸었어)
Do you do you know about my 쓰라린 상처 되어 (kill my soul, kill my name)
Do you do you know about my 아픈 기억 모두 (kill my pain a good for me)
I'm sorry (I'm sorry) so sorry (so sorry)

Goodbye
Goodbye

Hey so sorry
Apologizing for the events that have taken place

Screaming and arguing, nothing but sorrow
The experience of the relationship was filled with turbulence and pain

In my mind, I hear your voice, echo
Memories of the person continue to haunt and influence the singer

Now that you left me, there's nothing, I'm hollow
Feeling empty and alone after losing the person

I'm sorry, now let me show you my soul, oh
Asking for forgiveness and wanting to open up and be real

During my life, my mind has forgotten you completely
Attempting to move on and forget about the person

Are you still by my side?
Questioning if the person is still there, despite not being together

As if it's repeating
Feelings of deja vu and repetition in life

I'll have a guilty heart
Feeling guilty for how the relationship ended

I don't love her anymore
No longer feels love for the person

In this repeating day
Life feeling monotonous and dull

I'm just living
Going through the motions of life

Knowing I can't do this, I still called you (hey)
Despite knowing it's not a good idea, still reaching out to the person

Knowing it's impossible, why did I contact you? (ho)
Confused by own actions of reaching out to the person

I didn't believe it, but in your calm voice you said to me
Person still communicating despite previous conflicts

Even happy memories were like lies (hey)
Good memories now seem fake and insincere

Was not nothing from the beginning (ho)
There was something more to the initial relationship

It's dizzy, it's dizzy yeah
Feeling confused and overwhelmed

Kill my soul, kill my name
Feeling the need to escape from who he is

Kill my pain a good for me
Wanting to be rid of the emotional anguish caused by the person

I wanted it but I don't have you
Desiring to have the person back in their life

Only your memories remain
Memories of the person are all that's left in the singer's life

Why does my heart keep going towards you?
Unable to stop thinking about the person

To not make the anxiousness in my mind known to you
Hiding true feelings from the other person

I want to hide and avoid you
Trying to distance self from the person

Although I love you
Despite still having feelings for the person

I can no longer find you here
Not able to connect with the person in current situation

Even though I want to see you, I can't
Feeling trapped in the inability to connect with the person

Your smile, those tears, I need you
Wanting the person back in their life

Saying something I knew wouldn't work out (hey)
Saying things he didn't mean, and knew wouldn't work

Why did I contact you knowing it won't work out? (ho)
Questioning own actions and motivations

I didn't believe it, but in your calm voice you said to me
Other person still talking despite apparent conflict

Even happy memories were like lies (hey)
Positive and fond memories now seem fake and disingenuous

Was not nothing from the beginning (ho)
There was something genuine at the start of the relationship

It's dizzy, it's dizzy yeah
Feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the situation

Kill my soul, kill my name (no)
Wanting to change everything about the current situation

Kill my pain a good for me
Seeking relief from the emotional pain caused by the other person

In my memories, you embraced me with a warm smile
Recalling a fond memory of the person

In my exhausted soul amid the storm
Referencing being tired and worn out

You came to me silently and embraced me (Despite knowing I can't do this, I still called you)
Seeking comfort from the person despite previous conflicts

Do you do you know about my painful wounds? (kill my soul, kill my name)
Feeling hurt and scarred from the previous relationship

Do you do you know about all my painful memories? (kill my pain a good for me)
Recounting painful memories and experiences

I'm sorry (I'm sorry) so sorry (so sorry)
Continuing to express the deep remorse and apologies

Goodbye
Ending of the relationship
