Even if I keep meeting someone else, laughing and smiling, nothing changes.

Just thinking of you somewhere, smiling, makes me feel like I’m losing. I’m such a fool.

I wish you were having a harder time, so you’d think of me too. I want to be unaffected.

My lips that called you so much feel dry. I realized, like a habit, I called you and desperately searched for you. I want to hold you like back then and tell you I want to smile.

it-go sip-dan geu ma-reun geo-jit-ma-rin-ga bwa-yo

When I close my eyes and count one, two, I fall asleep and even in my dreams, I unconsciously search for you. Saying I want to forget is a lie.

No, maybe it’s become a habit. Even now, I keep calling your name, wanting to forget it.

I wish you were having a harder time, so you’d think of me too. I want to be unaffected.

neo ttae-mu-ne

I want to tell you, I want to see you. Now that you’re not here, the habits of calling you have become ingrained. I can’t erase them, living because of you.

My lips that called you so much feel dry. I realized, like a habit, I called you and desperately searched for you. I want to hold you like back then and tell you I want to smile.

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The lyrics depict the painful aftermath of a breakup where the speaker is trapped in a subconscious cycle of longing, unable to escape the memory of a past lover. Despite attempting to move on and laugh with others, the narrator continuously relapses into calling out the partner’s name out of sheer, deep-seated familiarity. Ultimately, it underscores an unconscious behavioral fixation and profound sorrow, illustrating how attempts to forget are overridden by a deeply ingrained habit while revealing a vulnerable egoistic desire for mutual heartbreak.
