이 노래 이야기

화자는 관계를 끝내기로 결심한 상태에서 상대를 만나러 간다. "But honestly, this morning, I was just thinking / When I woke up to the sunlight, it was so dazzling / Everything has changed"라는 구절처럼, 하룻밤 사이 마음이 변했다는 당혹스러운 고백으로 시작한다.

"But it's not that I don't love you"라는 말에서 드러나듯, 이별을 결심했음에도 사랑이 완전히 사라진 것은 아니라는 모순된 감정이 곡을 관통한다. 후반부의 "I simply said, 'I love you' / I'll always be by your side"는 갈등 끝에 다시 곁을 지키겠다는 다짐으로 돌아서는 흐름을 보여준다.

(Hit me!)

Actually, today I want to end things with youI’m going to meet you, please understand meI’ve made up my mind with difficulty, and I’ll tell youBut honestly, this morning, I was just thinkingWhen I woke up to the sunlight, it was so dazzlingEverything has changed, even my feelings for youBut it’s not that I don’t love youNow I’ll start to change myself

Secretly, secretly, secretly, I compared you to other womenAlone in the shattering fantasy, I saw myself trapped patheticallyI’ll leave you, hmm! I’ll leave you, hmm!But I still love youYeah, but I’ll start to forget you in my heart

Looking up at the sky reflected above my headI’ve now solidified my feelings for youBut somehow, the closer I get to youWe were both under the same sky

I simply said, “I love you”Leaving behind the many words I’d preparedI’ll always be by your sideI’ll make this promise, looking up at the sky(Hit me!)

The sky is open for me (The sky is open for me, yeah, yeah, and you’re in front of me)Yeah, yeah, you’re in front of me (Yeah, other couples kiss, but I always have to be behind you)Yeah, other couples kiss (Enough, hmm! I’m a man too, hmm! I know you know my feelings)Why must I stay behind you? (Yeah, now I’m tired and can only look up at the sky)When I woke up to the sunlight, it was so dazzlingEverything has changed, even my feelings for youBut it’s not that I don’t love youNow I’ll start to change myself

Looking up at the sky reflected above my headI’ve now solidified my feelings for youBut somehow, the closer I get to youWe were both under the same sky

I simply said, “I love you”Leaving behind the many words I’d preparedI’ll always be by your sideI’ll make this promise, looking up at that skyOne more time, I said it once moreLeaving behind the many words I’d prepared (Leaving behind the many words I’d prepared, I told you I loved you again)I’ll always be by your sideYou’re not alone anymore, I’m by your side

(Hit me!)
