If Longing Could Kill lyrics

너를 생각하면 가슴이 저려와 neoreul saenggakhamyeon gaseumi jeoryeowa When I think of you, my chest aches

하루에도 몇 번씩, 숨이 막혀와 haruedo myeot beonjjeuk, sumi makhyeowa Several times a day, I feel like I can't breathe

웃는 네 얼굴, 그 한 장면 utneun ne eolgul, geu han jangmyeon Your smiling face, just that one scene

눈 감아도 선명해, 미칠 것 같아 nun gamado seonmyeonghae, michil geot gata It's vivid even with my eyes closed, I feel like I'm going crazy

보고 싶단 말, 이젠 익숙한데 bogo sipdan mal, ijen iksukhande The words 'I miss you,' I'm used to them now

그 말조차도 못할 만큼 아파 geu maljochado motal mankeum apa It hurts so much that I can't even say those words

하지만 이 그리움도 언젠가 hajiman i geuriumdo eonjenga But I know that this longing too, someday

추억이 될 거라는 걸 알아 chueogi doel georaneun geol ara Will become a memory

만약 그리움이 사람을 죽일 수 있다면 manyak geuriumi sarameul jugil su itdamyeon If longing could kill a person

난 이미 백만 번은 죽었을 거야 nan imi baekman beoneun jugeosseul geoya I would have died a million times already

그대의 눈, 그대의 숨결 geudaeeui nun, geudaeeui sumgyeol Your eyes, your breath

생각만 해도 또 무너져 saenggakman haedo tto muneojyeo Just thinking about them makes me fall apart again

살아 있는 게 기적인 걸 sara inneun ge gijeogin geol It's a miracle that I'm alive

이렇게 널 사랑하니까 ireoke neol saranghanikka Because I love you this much

네가 내 곁에 없던 시간들 nega nae gyeote eopdeon sigandeul The times you weren't by my side

모래시계처럼 흘러만 가 moraesigyecheoreom heulleoman ga They just flow by like an hourglass

그 흔한 안부 한 마디에도 geu heunhan anbu han madiedo Even with a simple 'how are you'

심장이 뛰는 나야, 어떡해 simjangi ttwineun naya, eotteokhae My heart races, what do I do?

내가 너를 좋아하는 맘이 naega neoreul joahaneun mami You'll realize that my feelings for you

장난이 아니라는 걸 알게 될 거야 jangnani animneun geol alge doel geoya Are not just a game

말하지 않아도 느껴질 만큼 malhaji anhado neukkyeojil mankeum So much that you can feel it without me saying it

너에게 닿고 싶은 진심이야 neoege dako sipeun jinsimiya It's my sincere heart that wants to reach you

이 마음 변치 않고 영원히 i maeum byeonchi anko yeongwonhi This feeling won't change, forever

우리 함께할 미래를 그려 uri hamkkehal miraereul geuryeo I envision our future together

만약 그리움이 사람을 죽일 수 있다면 manyak geuriumi sarameul jugil su itdamyeon If longing could kill a person

넌 날 이미 백만 번은 죽였어 neon nal imi baekman beoneun jugyeosseo You would have killed me a million times already

웃는 네 얼굴, 그 말투까지 utneun ne eolgul, geu maltu kkaji Your smiling face, even your tone of voice

하나도 잊히질 않아 hanado ipeojil ana I can't forget any of it

살아 있는 게 기적인 걸 sara inneun ge gijeogin geol It's a miracle that I'm alive

그만큼 널 좋아하니까 geumankeum neol joahanikka Because I like you that much

멀리 떨어져 있어도 괜찮아 meolli tteoreojyeo isseodo gwaenchana It's okay even if we're far apart

마음만은 항상 옆에 있는 걸 maeummaneun hangsang yeope inneun geol Our hearts are always by each other's side

같은 꿈을 꾸는 우리 둘 gateun kkumeul kkuneun uri dul We two who dream the same dream

언젠가 한집에서 눈뜰 거야 eonjenga hanjipeseo nupdeul geoya Someday, we'll wake up in the same house
