Lyrics: IU – The Story Only I Didn’t Know (Hangul, Romanization and English translation)

Title: The Story Only I Didn’t Know

Artist: IU

Album: Real+

정말 넌 다 잊었더라
Jeongmal neon da ijoeotdeora
You really forgot everything

반갑게 날 보는 너의 얼굴 보니
Bangapge nal boneun neoui eolgul boni
When I see your welcoming face

그제야 어렴풋이 아파오더라
Geujeya eoryeompushi apaodeora
Then I started feeling vaguely hurt

새 살 차오르지 못한 상처가
Sae sal chaoreuji mothan sangcheoga
A wound that can’t heal itself

눈물은 흐르질 않더라
Nunmureun heureujil anteora
My tears wouldn’t flow

이별이라 하는 게 대단치도 못해서
Ibyeorira haneun ge daedanchido mothaeseo
Breaking up wasn’t even a big deal

이렇게 보잘것없어서
Ireoke bojalgeo seobseoseo
Because it’s worthless

좋은 이별이란 거
Joheun ibyeoriran geo
A pleasant goodbye

결국 세상엔 없는 일이라는 걸
gyeolguk sesangen eomneun iriraneun geol
ultimately there can be no such thing

알았다면 그때 차라리 다 울어둘 걸
Aratdamyeon geuttae charari da ureoldul geol
If I knew I would have cried it all out then

그때 이미 나라는 건 네겐 끝이었다는 건
Geuttae imi naraneun geon negen kkeuchieot daneun geon
By then you were done with me

나만 몰랐었던 이야기
Naman mollaesseotdeon iyagi
A story only I didn’t know

사랑은 아니었더라
Sarangeun anieotdeora
It wasn’t love

내 곁에 머물던 시간이었을 뿐
Nae gyeote meomuldeon siganieosseul ppun
It was just time spent next to you

이제야 어렴풋이 알 것만 같아
Ijeya eoryeompushi al geotman gata
Now I think I know what it feels to be vaguely hurt

왜 넌 미안했어야만 했는지
Wae neon mianhaesseo yaman haenneunji
Why you had to be sorry?

내가 너무 들떴었나 봐
Naega neomu deultteosseonna bwa
Maybe I was too excited

떠나는 순간마저 기대를 했었다니
Tteonaneun sunganmajeo gidaereul haesseotdani
You anticipated the moment you would leave

얼마나 우스웠던 거니
Eolmana ooseuwotdeon geoni
How amusing was it for you?

좋은 이별이란 거
Joheun ibyeoriran geo
A pleasant goodbye

결국 세상엔 없는 일이라는 걸
gyeolguk sesangen eomneun iriraneun geol
ultimately there can be no such thing

알았다면 그때 차라리 다 울어둘 걸
Aratdamyeon geuttae charari da ureoldul geol
If I knew I would have cried it all out then

그때 이미 나라는 건 네겐 끝이었다는 건
Geuttae imi naraneun geon negen kkeuchieot daneun geon
By then you were done with me

나만 몰랐었던 이야기
Naman mollaesseotdeon iyagi
A story only I didn’t know
