*Banmal is a way you talk with your friends, not with someone older than you

Should I wait? No, what if I become sad?
I’m crying, it won’t stop
Should I wait? No, what if I become sad?
I’m crying, it won’t stop

The reason why I can’t come to you is
Not because I’m over you or my feelings have changed
Or because I got another lover
It’s because I’m afraid your heart is going to break
And suffer because of me
Even if I can hold on to you and beg that I love you
I’m afraid you’re going to cry and be upset because of me again
Because of me, because of me,
I’m afraid you and your lover will suffer
You’ve met a good man and have fallen in love
You’re happier with him than with me
I’m afraid your happiness will break because of me
So I can’t approach you
People say that I need to learn how to let my love go
And I think it’ll be okay to live with you buried in my heart forever

I bury you in my heart without anyone knowing
Just love you like this, but it hurts so much
I try to forget you and erase you with my tears
But even if I cry and cry, it doesn’t work

Another reason I can’t come to you is
Not because you use banmal* even if you’re younger than me
Or because you don’t call me oppa
Or pout easily or whine
Or get angry at me
I can sacrifice anything and stand everything but
The reason I can’t come to you is because
If I come to you like this, without getting over you
I’m afraid I’m going to be a burden to you
I’m afraid you’re going to be mad at me
Or tell me this is an obsession, not love
Or get scared and be afraid of me
I’m already sorry because I didn’t treat you well
I’m already sorry because I’m not over you
Because I still love you
And you, my love, must be happy
You must be happy in order for me to be happy
I’m just happy by the fact that I live and breathe
In the same world, under the same sky

I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, who loves someone else
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, who’s happy because of another good man
