Him & Me
Rain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Feat. Dynamic Duo)

The reason I didn’t know when you left me
That person is better than me, he took my place
I believed he’d make you happier than I could ever make you
All the things I couldn’t do for you, the things I wanted to do for you so badly
That person could do them for you, I just trusted those words
I couldn’t do anything else but send you away like you wanted

Do you remember? The words you said “That person is perfect for me”
Asking to send you off, you said, “Because of him, I’m thankful everyday”
But why are you crying, cracking my hurting heart
After I’ve sent you off, why why do you keep calling me
Tell me honestly, don’t keep hiding it
Is it hard with that person, just end it, don’t wait it out
Stop crying now, wipe your tears, stop hurting
I’ll wait patiently for you, hold tightly onto my hand that’s been waiting for you

That person doesn’t know you like I do
(What you really like)
That person doesn’t know how to love you
(How to make you smile)
You don’t smile like you used to
(You lost that smile)
Baby please come back and let me know you love you
(Come back to me)

I trusted that you would be happy
Happier than when you were with me
That you would laugh a whole lot more, and also cry a whole lot more
I thought that you’d get everything you dreamed of
That’s why I was patient, even though I wanted to see you so badly
As I lifted up your smiling form
Saying it’s a good thing, but constantly blaming myself

Why do you cry like a child that has lost her mother’s hand
Why do you keep coming back like a boomerang that’s been thrown
Emptying my heart in bitter wine
The room of my love for you is empty too
Only having some water for breakfast
Spending the long night thinking of you who has left
Tightly locking up my ripped heart
But why are you standing there unsteadily in front of my house

That person doesn’t know you like I do
(What you really like)
That person doesn’t know how to love you
(How to make you smile)
You don’t smile like you used to
(You lost that smile)
Baby please come back and let me know you love you
(Come back to me)

Come back to me now
Just think that you dreamt a bad dream
Don’t be scared anymore, it’s okay now
Don’t ever leave my embrace again
I won’t ever send you away again
I know I’m a bit insufficient
But I’m going to protect you from now on

That person doesn’t know you like I do
(What you really like)
That person doesn’t know how to love you
(How to make you smile)
You don’t smile like you used to
(You lost that smile)




Baby please come back and let me know you love you
(Come back to me)

나를 떠날 때 보낼 수 있었던 이유는
그사람이 나보다 잘나서 나를 대신해서
나보다 행복하게 해 줄 거라 믿었어
내가 못해 준 너무나 해주고 싶었던 많은 것
그사람은 해 줄 수 있댔어 그 말만 믿었어
니가 원하는 대로 보낼 수 밖에 없었어



기억하니? 니가 했던 말 “그 사람은 내게 완벽해”
보내달라며 그랬잖아 “그 때문에 난 매일 감격해”
근데 왜 울어 아픈 내 맘을 또 깨물어
이제야 겨우 널 보낸 날 왜 왜 자꾸 왜 불러
솔직히 말해 자꾸만 숨기지 말고
그 사람이랑 힘드니 그럼 그만 끝내 참지 말고
이제 그만 울어 눈물 닦어 그만 아퍼
널 다시 가꿔 꾹 참고 널 기다린 내 손을 꼭 잡고



그사람은 널 나처럼 잘 몰라
(니가 정말 뭐를 좋아하는지)
그사람은 널 사랑할줄 몰라
(니가 어떻게 하면 웃는지)
니가 예전처럼 웃지를 않아
(너의 그 미소를 잊어버렸어)
Baby please come back and let me

know you love you
(내게로 돌아와)



행복할 거라 믿었어
나와 함께 있을 때보다
그 때보다 훨씬 더 웃고 훨씬 덜 울고
니가 꿈꾸던 모든 걸 갖게 될 줄 알았어
그래서 참았어 너무나 보고싶었지만
너의 웃는 모습 떠올리며
잘한일이라며 내 자신에게 타이르고 또 타일렀어



엄마손을 놓친아이 처럼 넌왜 우는데
던져진 부메랑처럼 넌 왜 다시 오는데
쓰디쓴 술잔에 겨우 맘을 비웠는데
니 모습으로 도배된 내 사랑의 방도 싹 비웠는데
그저 물 몇 잔으로 아침밥을 때웠어
떠나간 널 추억하며 긴긴밤을 때웠어
찢겨진 심장에 겨우 자물쇠를 채웠어
근데 왜 내 집 앞에 휘청거리며 서있어



그사람은 널 나처럼 잘 몰라
(니가 정말 뭐를 좋아하는지)
그사람은 널 사랑할줄 몰라
(니가 어떻게 하면 웃는지)
니가 예전처럼 웃지를 않아
(너의 그 미소를 잊어버렸어)
Baby please come back and let me

know you love you
(내게로 돌아와)



내게 돌아와 이제
안 좋은 꿈을 꿨다고 생각해
더 이상 두려워마 이제는 괜찮아
다신 내 품을 떠나지마
다시는 보내지 않을거야
내가 너무 부족한 건 알지만
이제는 내가 지켜줄거야



그사람은 널 나처럼 잘 몰라
(니가 정말 뭐를 좋아하는지)
그사람은 널 사랑할줄 몰라
(니가 어떻게 하면 웃는지)
니가 예전처럼 웃지를 않아
(너의 그 미소를 잊어버렸어)
Baby please come back and let me

know you love you
(내게로 돌아와)
