In Your Eyes
Park Ji Heon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't it hurt without me?
Is someone taking good care of you?
I guess I'm still in the middle of this breakup I guess time has stopped for me
I need to be hating you Because you're the one who left me I shouldn't be thinking about you Because we broke up
Why am I such a good-for-nothing?
Am I only this much?
I guess I still love you Because I still worry about you
No matter who I meet They all seem like you No matter where I go I think of our past memories
Why am I such a good-for-nothing?
Am I only this much?
I guess I still love you Because I still worry about you
In your eyes, if only I could see you If only I could see myself reflected in your eyes In your mind, I'm right here If only I could go back inside your heart
I stood still and looked at the sky I saw your smiling face looking at me I wave my hands, as if I could reach you and catch you But you keep getting further away
In your eyes, if only I could see you If only I could see myself reflected in your eyes In your mind, I'm right here If only I could go back inside your heart In your Eyes
The lyrics of Park Ji Heon's song In Your Eyes expresses the heartbreak and longing of the singer after a breakup. The first stanza sets the melancholic tone of the song, as the singer acknowledges that their love and the person they love are both getting further away from them. The singer admits that there is still so much they want to say and do together, but the breakup has forced them apart. They wonder if their absence is hurting the other person and if someone else is taking good care of them. The singer is still in the middle of the breakup, and time seems to have stopped for them.
The second stanza reveals conflicting emotions that the singer is feeling. On one hand, they feel like they should hate the other person for leaving them, and they shouldn't still be thinking about them. On the other hand, they still worry about the other person and feel like they still love them. The chorus repeats this longing for the other person's presence and the desire to go back "inside their heart." The singer feels like no matter where they go or whom they meet, they keep comparing them to their ex.
The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer describes a moment where they looked up and saw their ex's smiling face in the sky. They wave their hands to try to reach them and catch them, but they keep getting further away. The song ends on the same note of longing and regret, with the repeated refrain of wishing they could see themselves reflected in their ex's eyes.
Overall, the lyrics of In Your Eyes convey the complicated emotions and feelings of loss and longing that one goes through after a breakup. The conflicting desires to move on and to hold onto the memories of the past show the challenge of letting go of someone who meant so much to you.
