내게 아픈 말은...
U-KISS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
제발 하지 말아요
나만 사랑한다 말했잖아요
제발 이렇게 나 떠나지 마요
오 그대 가슴 아픈 말은
제발 하지 말아요
그댈 바라볼 용기가 안 나요
제발 이렇게 날 떠나지 마요
어떻게 사랑이
그렇게 쉽게 변해
죽도록 애원하며
다시 말해 또 다시 말해
듣지 않는 너에게 난 다시 말해
우리의 추억이 난 자꾸 떠올라
널 생각하면 다시 눈물이 차올라
주먹을 꽉 쥐고
널 잊어보려 했지만
얼마나 지났을까
또 다시 너를 찾아
아무리 찾아도 니 모습 없고
(왜 이래)
아무리 생각해도 이유 없고
(왜 이래)
손을 내밀어도 잡히질 않고
왜 이래 너 날 떠나려 하지마
오 그대 가슴 아픈 말은
제발 하지 말아요
나만 사랑한다 말했잖아요
제발 이렇게 나 떠나지 마요
겁이 나 (난 겁이 나)
아픈 말을 들을까봐
나는 느꼈어 (알아)
니 눈빛이 달라 (행동과 말투가)
어떻게 사람의 마음이
쉽게 변하니
아직 보여줄게 많은데
어떻게 끝내니
영원히 가자는
네 네번째 손가락 반지
I can't give you up
so please be my wendy
아무리 찾아도 니 모습 없고
(왜 이래)
아무리 생각해도 이유 없고
(왜 이래)
손을 내밀어도 잡히질 않고
왜 이래 너 날 떠나려 하지마
오 그대 가슴 아픈 말은
제발 하지 말아요
나만 사랑한다 말했잖아요
제발 이렇게 나 떠나지 마요
가지마 다른 사람이 생겼니
왜 자꾸 내게서 멀어져
날 미치게 하지마
오 그대 가슴 아픈 말은
제발 하지 말아요
나만 사랑한다 말했잖아요
제발 이렇게 나 떠나지 마요
오 그대 가슴 아픈 말은
제발 하지 말아요
그댈 바라볼 용기가 안 나요
제발 이렇게 날 떠나지 마요
오 그대 가슴 아픈 얼굴
제발 하지 말아요
떠난다는 말만 하지 말아요
