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.

忘れないで
TVXQ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ベッドに座って君のことを考えていた
逢えなくてもいい逢いたい
この気持ちだけでいいから

強く残っている記憶
君からの短いメッセージが
切なく胸締めつけるけど
永久の幸せ僕が守り続けたい

風になってそっと包みたい
君がいる世界にすぐ飛んでゆきたい
逢いたくても逢いたくても
待ってるからただ忘れないで

いつもの歩道に君の影を感じていた
静かに目を閉じ祈る
いつまでも消えないように

深く傷ついていたこと
気付かせず笑っていた君に
「ずっと大切にするから」
叫び続けるありふれた言葉でも

風になってそっと包みたい
君がいる世界にすぐ飛んでゆきたい
逢いたくても逢いたくても
待ってるからただ忘れないで

君に触れた夜壊れてしまうほどに
漂う香りにまた想いが募る
いつまでも果てないように
もっと強くつないだ手離れないように

風になってそっと包みたい
君がいる世界にすぐ飛んでゆきたい
逢いたくても逢いたくても
待ってるから待ってるから

風になってそっと包みたい
君がいる世界にすぐ飛んでゆきたい
逢いたくても逢いたくても
待ってるからただ忘れないで

ここにいるよ忘れないで
