Lyrics
Production Note
The theme focuses on 'growth' overcoming the pain of a breakup. It is produced to sophisticatedly convey the message that one is fully whole, even on their own.
이별 후의 아픔을 딛고 일어서는 '성장'을 주제로 합니다. 혼자서도 충분히 온전하다는 메시지를 세련되게 전달하도록 제작했습니다.
Verse 1
그날 이후, 네가 없는 이 거리는
(Since that day, this street without you)
생각보다 조용하고 괜찮았어
(Was quieter and more okay than I thought)
처음엔 무너질 줄 알았는데
(At first, I thought I would crumble)
오히려 좀 더 나를 알게 됐어
(But rather, I got to know myself a little better)
하루가 지나고, 또 하루가 흘러도
(As a day passes, and another day flows by)
내 맘은 점점 더 선명해져
(My heart becomes clearer and clearer)
혼자인 게 외로운 게 아니라는 걸
(That being alone doesn't mean being lonely)
이젠 진짜 알겠어
(Now I truly know)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
(너를 죽이지 못하는 시련은 너를 더 강하게 만들어)
Stand a little taller
(조금 더 당당하게 일어서)
(Stronger, taller, yeah)
(더 강하게, 더 당당하게, 그래)
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
(혼자라고 해서 외로운 건 아니야)
이젠 너 없어도 난 괜찮아
(Now I'm fine without you)
숨 쉴 공간이 생긴 것 같아
(It feels like I have room to breathe)
너를 잃고 나를 찾았어
(I lost you and found myself)
That's the truth I didn't know
(그게 내가 몰랐던 진실이야)
Verse 2
친구들이 말했지, 다 지나갈 거라고
(Friends told me, "This too shall pass")
그땐 그냥 위로라 여겼는데
(Back then, I thought it was just comfort words)
시간이 흐르니까 알겠더라
(But as time passed, I realized)
내가 나를 더 아끼게 됐어
(I came to cherish myself more)
밤이 길고 마음이 흔들려도
(Even if the night is long and my heart wavers)
이제는 울지 않아, 널 찾지 않아
(I won't cry anymore, I won't look for you)
너 없는 내 하루가 오히려 더
(My day without you is rather more)
조용하고 따뜻해
(Quiet and warm)
What doesn't kill you makes you fighter
(시련은 너를 전사로 만들지)
Footsteps even lighter
(발걸음은 더 가볍게)
(Fighter, lighter, ooh)
(싸워 이겨내고, 가벼워지고, 우)
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
(네가 떠났다고 내가 끝난 건 아니야)
이별은 끝이 아니라 시작이야
(Breaking up is not an end, but a beginning)
나 자신에게 돌아가는 길
(The road back to myself)
조금은 아팠지만, 후회는 없어
(It hurt a little, but I have no regrets)
I'm breathing on my own
(난 나 혼자 힘으로 숨 쉬고 있어)
Verse 3
그래, 사랑이란 건... 때로는
(Yeah, love is... sometimes)
너무 깊어서 길을 잃게 만들지
(So deep that it makes you lose your way)
하지만 끝나고 나면 보이더라
(But once it's over, I could see)
내가 얼마나 견고했는지
(Just how solid I was)
나를 부쉈던 건 사랑이 아니라
(What broke me wasn't love)
그 안에서 나를 잃었던 나였어
(It was me, losing myself inside of it)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
(시련은 너를 더 강하게, 더 강하게 만들어)
Just me, myself and I
(오직 나, 나 자신, 그리고 나뿐이야)
이제는 웃을 수 있어
(Now I can smile)
지나간 사랑에도 고맙다고
(Saying thank you even to the past love)
더 나은 내가 됐으니까
(Because I became a better version of me)
더 이상 흔들리지 않아
(I won't be shaken anymore)
Cause I found me, finally
(왜냐면 마침내 나를 찾았으니까)
이젠 알겠어
(Now I know)
강해지는 건 거창한 게 아니더라
(Becoming strong isn't something grand)
그저 나답게…
(Just being like me...)
다시 걸어가는 것
(Walking forward again)
What doesn't kill me...
(나를 무너뜨리지 못한 것들은...)
makes me... whole again...
(나를... 다시 온전하게 만들어...)
(Whole again...)
(다시 온전하게...)
나를 찾는 길 위에서
(On the road to finding myself)
널 놓아줄게
(I will let you go)
그래, 잘 가...
(Yeah, goodbye...)
