Please
Y2K Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

세상 속에 살 수 없기를
간절히 바라는
너의 맘을 느낀뒤에
허락하지 않는 맘으로
그렇게 널 가두려 했어
보내야 했었지만
널 사랑했던 맘 반이라도
네겐 없을 거란 걸 난 알아

너를 사랑할 사람 잘은 모르지만
난 될 수 없다고 버려진 남이라고
Please don\'t go
나를 떠나 살 수 있겠니
어차피 난 잊을 수 없을테니
나를 버려줘
Please don\'t go
사실 너를 너무 사랑한 걸
잊어줘 그마저 네게 짐이 된다면
조그마한 기억조차도
모두 잊길 바라는
네 맘을 느낀 뒤에
돌이킬 수 없는 맘으로
그렇게 널 가두려 했어
보내야 했었지만
널 사랑했던 맘 반이라도
네겐 없을 거란 걸 난 알아
너를 사랑할 사람 잘은 모르지만
난 될 수 없다고 버려진 남이라고
Please don\'t go
나를 떠나 살 수 있겠니
어차피 난 잊을 수 없을테니
나를 버려줘
Please don\'t go

사실 너를 너무 사랑한 걸
잊어줘 그마저 네게 짐이 된다면
