But I love you
Rain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Mmm-mm
I don't wanna love you
But I do

어느샌가 다시 또 밤 열두 시
시계도 보다 그 옆에 놓여진 전화기만 봐
나도 모르게 자꾸 수화길 드는
내 손을 말려보려 하지만

내게 깊게 배인 습관처럼
아무런 이유도 없이
또 다시 니 번홀 돌리는 난
도대체 왜 이러는지 몰라

Don't wanna go back to you
Don't wanna see you
이제는 정말 싫어, 너무 힘들어
I don't wanna love you (huh)
But I love you, but I love you

Don't wanna hang on to you
Don't wanna hold you
모두 다 잊고 싶어, 지우고 싶어
I don't wanna miss you (miss you)
But I miss you, but I miss you

이렇게 몇 번을 헤어져 봤지만, 몇 번 결심했지만
언제나 다시 제자리로 돌아오고 말아
Oh 왜 이렇게 미련하게 너를 사랑하는지

아니면 널 이렇게 해선 안 된다는 걸 알면서
알면서 왜 이래? Yeah (왜 이래? Yeah)
도대체 왜 이러는지 몰라 ooh

Don't wanna go back to you
Don't wanna see you
이제는 정말 싫어, 너무 힘들어
I don't wanna love you (i don't wanna love you)
But I love you, but I love you

Don't wanna hang on to you
Don't wanna hold you (hang on to you)
모두 다 잊고 싶어, 지우고 싶어
I don't wanna miss you (miss you)
But I miss you, but I miss you

왜 내가 널 떠나질 못하는지
매일 이렇게 아파하면서
결국엔 안 될 걸 잘 알면서
매일 상처는 더 깊어져만 가는데
시간이 가면 갈수록 더욱더 힘들 텐데 eh

Don't wanna go back to you
Don't wanna see you
이제는 정말 싫어, 너무 힘들어
I don't wanna love you
But I love you, but I love you

Don't wanna hang on to you
Don't wanna hold you
모두 다 잊고 싶어 (다 잊고 싶은데), 지우고 싶어
I don't wanna miss you (i don't wanna miss you)




But I miss you, but I miss you
But I love you, mm, mm
