괴로운 괴로운 괴로운 이
하루 하루 하루가 싫어
텅 빈 방안에 홀로 앉아 있을 때
서로 서로 서로 더
아껴 줄 걸 그랬어
너의 슬픈 눈빛 생각나
따사로운 햇살이 비출 때
하루 니가 없는 내 하루
너의 향기 아직 생생하게 기억해 forever
자꾸 눈물이 고이지만 절대 안울어
난 안 울어 울어 안 울어 울어
넌 내 이기적인 모습에
무뚝뚝한 모습에
점점 지쳐간다 했었지
진한 커피 향이 내 코를 스쳐 갈 때
따사로운 햇살이 비출 때
하루 니가 없는 내 하루
너의 향기 아직 생생하게 기억해 forever
자꾸 눈물이 고이지만 절대 안울어
난 안 울어 울어 안 울어 울어
오늘도 우리가 좋아하던 길로
혹시나 니가 기다릴 까봐
헛된 기대를 해 혼자 상상을 해
바보 같은 나를 용서해줘
가끔은 화가나 넌 괜찮을 거란 생각에
눈물은 말라가 더 이상 이 짓거리 못해
진절머리나 한심해 내 자신이 못나서
널 쿨하게 보냈더니 차갑게 떠났구나
이별 당시 당신을 대할 땐 차갑게 대했더니
여전히 남아서 뜨겁게 내 맘이
힘이 든 건 아침보다 밤이
술 취해 연락은 못하니 손에 꽉 쥐고
잠이 들게 니 생각을
The lyrics to TEEN TOP's song "Cry" depict feelings of loneliness, pain, and longing for someone who has left. The first paragraph portrays the singer's everyday life as lonely and painful, where each day becomes unbearable and they find themselves sitting alone in an empty room. They reflect on how they should have cherished and loved each other more, reminiscing about the sad expression in their partner's eyes and the moments when the scent of coffee or warm sunlight would remind them of them.
In the second paragraph, the singer describes how their days have become unbearable without their partner. They vividly remember their partner's lingering fragrance, still fresh in their memory, and vow not to cry, even though tears keep flowing. It implies that they are trying to stay strong and not let their emotions overwhelm them.
The third paragraph reveals that the partner had grown tired of the singer's selfish and unresponsive behavior. They had started to become distant, but the scent of coffee and warm sunlight triggers memories of their past together. The singer acknowledges their faults and their inability to express their feelings properly, asking for forgiveness and admitting their foolishness. They hold on to the hope that the partner will be fine without them, trying to convince themselves that tears will no longer be shed.
In the final paragraph, the singer reflects on the path they used to walk together and wonders if their partner would still be waiting for them. They admit to having misplaced hopes and indulging in imaginary scenarios alone. They ask for forgiveness for their occasional anger, believing that the tears have dried up and they can no longer engage in such behavior. They realize how pitiful and inadequate they are, blaming themselves for sending their partner away in a cold manner.
The song seems to revolve around the theme of separation and regret. The lyrics highlight the pain and loneliness that follow the departure of a loved one, as well as the singer's self-reflection and desire for forgiveness. The emotions expressed in the lyrics evoke a sense of longing and the struggle to cope with the absence of a significant other.

텅 빈 방안에 홀로 앉아 있을 때

아껴 줄 걸 그랬어
I should have cherished you
너의 슬픈 눈빛 생각나
I remember your sad gaze
진한 커피 향이 내 코를 스쳐 갈 때
When the strong smell of coffee passes by my nose
따사로운 햇살이 비출 때
When the warm sunlight shines
하루 니가 없는 내 하루
A day without you
너의 향기 아직 생생하게 기억해 forever
I still vividly remember your scent, forever
자꾸 눈물이 고이지만 절대 안울어
Tears keep welling up, but I will never cry
난 안 울어 울어 안 울어 울어
I won't cry, cry, won't cry, cry
넌 내 이기적인 모습에
You saw through my selfishness
무뚝뚝한 모습에
My cold behavior
점점 지쳐간다 했었지
You thought I was getting tired
오늘도 우리가 좋아하던 길로
Today, we walk on the path we used to love
혹시나 니가 기다릴 까봐
In case you were waiting
헛된 기대를 해 혼자 상상을 해
I have false hopes, I imagine alone
바보 같은 나를 용서해줘
Please forgive foolish me
가끔은 화가나 넌 괜찮을 거란 생각에
Sometimes I get angry, thinking you'll be okay
눈물은 말라가 더 이상 이 짓거리 못해
The tears have dried up, I can't do this anymore
진절머리나 한심해 내 자신이 못나서
I'm pathetic for being unable to let you go
널 쿨하게 보냈더니 차갑게 떠났구나
I sent you away coolly, and you left coldly
이별 당시 당신을 대할 땐 차갑게 대했더니
At the time of separation, I treated you coldly
여전히 남아서 뜨겁게 내 맘이
My heart still burns passionately
힘이 든 건 아침보다 밤이
The night gives me more strength than the morning
술 취해 연락은 못하니 손에 꽉 쥐고
Since I can't contact you when I'm drunk, I hold onto my hand tightly
잠이 들게 니 생각을
To fall asleep, I think of you
