in 2018 she teamed up with John Legend for the song "Written in the Stars", as part of SM Station X 0.

Goodbye
Wendy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
내 맘도 몰라주고
단 한 번도 늦었던 적이 없는지
넌 항상 들떠있어
어디로 가는건지
아쉬워 할 틈도 없이 떠나네
도착해 연락한다는
어쩌겠어 우리는 (cool kids, cool kids)
달콤했던 순간아 안녕, 안녕
Woo, woo 오늘은 정말 일어나기 싫은데
Woo, woo 아직 나 샤워하긴 너무 슬픈데
Woo, woo 갑자기 모든 게 낯설어서
너 없이 뜬 눈으로 밤을 지샜어
이제 난 어떻게 해야 하나
왜 돌아오는 길엔
난 뭔가 잃어버린 듯
불안한 마음을 지울 수 없는지
넌 괜찮다고만 해
이번엔 다르겠지
다 알면서 난 그냥 웃기만 하네
And he goes Paris to Vegas, back in LA for a day
서울에 와선 나를 찾지마
I know you're never gonna stay
달콤했던 순간아 안녕, 안녕
Woo, woo 오늘은 정말 일어나기 싫은데
Woo, woo 아직 나 샤워하긴 너무 슬픈데
Woo, woo 갑자기 모든 게 낯설어서
너 없이 뜬 눈으로 밤을 지샜어
너 없이 뜬 눈으로 밤을 지샜어
너 없이 뜬 눈으로 밤을 지샜어
이제 난 어떻게 해야하나
In the song Goodbye, Wendy expresses her emotions about a breakup and how it is difficult for her to cope with it. She talks about her ex-partner who is leaving, but the car journey to the airport seems unaware of her feelings. She asks herself whether he ever got late for a flight before, and she feels sad that he is leaving without giving her a chance to miss him. Although he promises to stay in touch, Wendy recognizes the emptiness of such promises. She realizes that they were once a happy couple, but now it is time for them to say goodbye.
The chorus about not being able to wake up, not feeling like taking a shower, and feeling lost without her ex-partner reflects the pain of the separation. Wendy wonders what she will do without him and how she will fill his void in her life. She questions the feelings that he portrayed, whether he is genuinely okay and if he will come back to her someday. The closure of the song mentions a journey from Paris to Vegas, LA, and Seoul, further reinforcing the finality of their breakup and their diverging paths.
Overall, Goodbye is an emotional ballad about the difficulties of letting go of a relationship, the questions we ask ourselves, and the emotions we experience during the initial stages of a breakup.
Line by Line Meaning
왜 공항 가는 차는
Why does the car heading to the airport
내 맘도 몰라주고
Not even knowing my heart
단 한 번도 늦었던 적이 없는지
Have you never been late even once?
넌 항상 들떠있어
You're always excited
어디로 가는건지
Heading to where
아쉬워 할 틈도 없이 떠나네
Leaving without even the chance to regret
도착해 연락한다는
Saying we'll contact each other once you arrive
빈말이 지겨울 때도
Even when empty words get tiring
어쩌겠어 우리는 (cool kids, cool kids)
What can we do, we're cool kids
달콤했던 순간아 안녕, 안녕
Goodbye, goodbye, to those sweet moments
Woo, woo 오늘은 정말 일어나기 싫은데
Woo, woo, today I really don't want to wake up
Woo, woo 아직 나 샤워하긴 너무 슬픈데
Woo, woo, it's too sad for me to shower yet
Woo, woo 갑자기 모든 게 낯설어서
Woo, woo, suddenly everything's unfamiliar
너 없이 뜬 눈으로 밤을 지샜어
I stayed up all night with swollen eyes without you
이제 난 어떻게 해야 하나
Now what should I do
왜 돌아오는 길엔
Why on the way back
난 뭔가 잃어버린 듯
Do I feel like I lost something
불안한 마음을 지울 수 없는지
Can't erase this uneasy heart
넌 괜찮다고만 해
You're just saying you're okay
이번엔 다르겠지
This time it'll be different
다 알면서 난 그냥 웃기만 하네
Even though I know everything, I just smile
And he goes Paris to Vegas, back in LA for a day
And he goes from Paris to Vegas, back in LA for a day
서울에 와선 나를 찾지마
Don't look for me when you come to Seoul
I know you're never gonna stay
I know you're never gonna stay
달콤했던 순간아 안녕, 안녕
Goodbye, goodbye, to those sweet moments

I stayed up all night with swollen eyes without you
이제 난 어떻게 해야하나
Now what should I do

눈 감으면 더욱 선명해지는 게
어떤 말로도 설명이 안 됐어
유리 위를 혼자서 걸어가
그댈 혹시나 아프게 할까
내가 여기 있는데
나를 몰라보나요
너무 보고 싶어
한참 기다렸는데
손이 닿지 않네요
그냥 멍하니 서 있네요
안녕 안녕 안녕 goodbye
꿈인듯해 자꾸만 같은 일들이
나를 조금씩 무너지게 만해
잠시나마 나를 기억해주던 순간
기적 같았어 전부 꿈만 같아
내가 여기 있는데
나를 몰라보나요
너무 보고 싶어
한참 기다렸는데
손이 닿지 않네요
그냥 멍하니 서 있네요
안녕 안녕 안녕 goodbye
시간이 지나도 변치 않는
나만 아는 그대의 진한 그 향기가
날 알아보나요 나를 찾았나요
하얗게 또 밤이 번져가요
그댈 아프게 한 날이 지나고 또다시
안녕 안녕 안녕 goodbye
안녕 안녕 안녕 goodbye

When Sa Ra prayed for Eun Ho, that hit me right in the feels. It's so touching that I got teary eyed. My second favorite 2nd lead couple (next to Sunny and Grim Ripper of Goblin)
@mhayjuhudi4430
Right? what's more admirable is that Sa Ra prayed eventhough she doesn't have religion and doesn't believe in God. But because of his Love for Eun Ho, she tried praying and her prayer was answered. 2nd Lead Couple syndrome (I also like Dahee and Lee Jaewook in Search WWW)
@jennieismygirl2339
@Mhay Juhudi but I like Sara and Eunho more cuz I can feel the pain of her 😖
@khayrmasire8451
Hotel Del Luna and The Beauty Inside have the best OSTs.
Edit: Sky Castle, Scarlet Heart & Legend of the Blue Sea, also.
