그렇지 않아 (The Story Behind) Lyrics English Translation by KYUHYUN (규현)
The familiar figure from behind was you
Just as fascinating as ever, wasn’t it?
Recognizing you at a glance
Thinking about what to say
A moment of hesitation
Getting closer to you
Back then, I was truly young
I didn’t even understand my own heart
That’s how I spent those days
Are you doing well?
You asked me
No, it’s not like that
Not for a single moment could I forget you
I wanted to hold onto you
But seeing you smiling
Leads to these words
Yes, I’m doing well
As well as you
You still shine like sunlight
Thawing my cold heart like spring
As if I had forgotten you yesterday
Meeting friends
Now it’s okay
I pretended to move on
The moment you came before me
My crumbling lies
Seemed well
I’m truly relieved
Seeing you smile
No, it’s not like that
Not for a single moment could I forget you
I wanted to hold onto you
But seeing you smiling
Leads to these words
Yes, I’m doing well
As well as you
If I greet you, will it really be the end?
Just spouting meaningless words
You, who haven’t changed at all
That’s what I find displeasing
You were everything to me
Don’t do that
Your expression and words, now comfortable like a friend
Freeze me in place
How painful those moments are
You won’t know
Turning away from you
I, who only stares
It’s unbearable, but if you look back, I’ll run and tell you
No, I can’t let you go
I must be with you
No, it’s not like that
My crumbling lies
