BECAUSE OF YOU
Taewoo Kim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

네게 말하지 못한 게 있어
잠깐이면 말해줄 수
있을 것 같은데 네게

근데 그렇게 다른 델 보며
눈물 나게 행복한 듯
웃고 있음 어떡해 나는
내가 보이지 않나 봐

너의 눈을 가려버리고 싶어
혹은 네 맘을 꽉 누르고 싶어
그게 안되니 모두 안되니
죄다 안되니 말야

너 때문에 짜증이 나고
찌질해지고
자존심 상해도
어쩌니 이렇게 좋은데
네가 미운데 좋아 네가

네 안에 들어가고 싶어
우스워도 좋아
이젠 그런 거 익숙해
너 때문에 꿈도 못 꿀 그런 일을
아무렇지 않게 하고 싶어졌어

네가 바라는 하루는 뭔지
어떤 이유로 울고
웃는지 하나도 몰라
그게 미칠 듯 미안해

너의 하룬 나의 의미가 됐고
나의 못된 사랑을 이젠 시작해
너무 늦어서 뒤늦게 알아서
너무 미안해 네게

너 때문에 짜증이 나고
찌질해지고
자존심 상해도
어쩌니 이렇게 좋은데
네가 미운데 좋아 네가

네 안에 들어가고 싶어
우스워도 좋아
이젠 그런 거 익숙해
너 때문에 꿈도 못 꿀 그런 일을
아무렇지 않게 하고 싶어졌어

난 대체 어떻게
사랑을 배웠길래
삐뚤어지게 말하고
서럽게 말하고
왜 그랬던 거니 난
바보처럼

너 때문에 짜증이 나고
찌질해지고
자존심 상해도
어쩌니 이렇게 좋은데
네가 미운데 좋아 네가

네 안에 들어가고 싶어
우스워도 좋아
이젠 그런 거 익숙해
너 때문에 꿈도 못 꿀 그런 일을
아무렇지 않게 할 수 있게 됐어





모든 걸 놔두고
네게 갈 수 있어

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Taewoo Kim's song "Because Of You" reflect the quintessential struggle between love and personal feelings. The opening bars are confessional, portraying the singer as one who has unresolved matters they long to share with the person they love. However, despite this desire, the singer is hesitant and indecisive about how to express themselves. Even though a short moment could provide the chance to speak, they still find themselves holding back.


The second verse then conveys the frustration the singer feels because of their love interest. They find it difficult to celebrate their love when their affections are not reciprocated. The singer expresses wanting to block this feeling out altogether by blinding themselves or holding the person so tightly that they can't hurt them anymore. They then struggle with their personal conflicts, feeling like they're losing themselves trying to love someone who doesn't return the sentiment. They wish to be with the person they love, to understand them fully and embrace all their quirks, even if it seems odd to others.


Overall, the lyrics in "Because Of You" explore the conflicted feelings one can experience when navigating a complicated relationship. The words also express the hope of finding a place of mutual understanding and surrendering oneself to love, even if it means traversing through moments of tension and personal struggles.

Like I'm invisible to you.

How did I even learn how to love that I'm speaking so crookedly and regretfully? Why did I do that? I'm like a fool.


모든 걸 놔두고 네게 갈 수 있어
I can leave everything behind and go to you.

I adore this drama. Absolutely superb, natural acting by Jo Jung Suk and Gong Hyo Jin and Go Kyung Pyo. They are just brilliant. JJS is one of my favorite actors. He just takes on any role and makes it his own as does GHJ. She is my favorite Korean actress. She is so natural and believable in each role she takes on. There is no falseness or plastic about her. There is also great chemistry between all three actors/actress. THANK YOU. Love Nicky x 💖 UK

@nicahcarandang1011
