Formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2003, TVXQ began as a five-member boy band composed of members U-Know Yunho, Max Changmin, Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu. They were immediately launched to mainstream recognition following the release of their first physical single "Hug" (2004), which peaked at number four on the MIAK monthly music chart. Their first studio albums Tri-Angle (2004) and Rising Sun (2005) were both top sellers, pushing the band's popularity beyond Korea. Under the management of Avex, TVXQ entered the Japanese-language market in April 2005 with their debut single "Stay with Me Tonight", but their first Japanese album Heart, Mind and Soul (2006) was met with limited success.
どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう？
TVXQ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
どんなに時が流れても君はずっと
ここにいると 思ってたのに
でも君が選んだのは違う道
どうして... 君に何も伝えられなかったんだろう？
毎日毎晩募ってく想い
初めて出会ったその日から 君を知っていた気がしたんだ
あまりに自然に溶け込んでしまったふたり
何処へ行くのにも一緒で 君がいることが当然で
僕らはふたりで大人になってきた
でも君が選んだのは違う道
どうして... 君を好きになってしまったんだろう？
どんなに時が流れても君はずっと
ここにいると 思ってたのに（もう叶わない）
特別な意味を持つ今日を 幸せがあふれ出す今日を
綺麗な姿で神様に誓ってる君を
僕じゃない人の隣で 祝福されてる姿を
僕はどうやって見送ればいいのだろう？
もうどうして... 君を好きになってしまったんだろう？
あの頃の僕らのことを（もう戻れない）
考えた...（もう戻らない）考えた...
どうして... 君の手を掴み奪えなかったんだろう？
どんなに時が流れても君はずっと
僕の横にいるはずだった（もう叶わない）
それでも... 君が僕のそば 離れていっても
永遠に君が幸せであること ただ願ってる
（例えそれがどんなに寂しくても）
辛くても...
The lyrics to TVXQ's song "どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう？" (Why Did I Fall in Love with You?) express the deep sense of regret and longing felt by the singer after realizing that the person they loved has chosen a different path in life. The song evokes a powerful sense of nostalgia for the past, particularly for the time when the singer and their beloved were together and shared an inseparable bond. The lyrics express the singer's intense emotions of despair, confusion, and heartache, as they struggle to come to terms with the loss of their love, and wonder about what could have been if they had spoken up about their feelings earlier.
Despite its melancholic theme, the song is a beautiful and emotional celebration of the transformative power of love, as it takes the listener on a journey of introspection and self-discovery. It is a poignant reminder that, even if love is not always easy, it is always worth pursuing, for it is what gives us meaning and purpose in life.
