Maybe (Lyrics Edition)

Lee Seung-hwan/Sunwoo Jung-a

Nothing’s changed, maybe
Just always thinking of you
And doing whatever I want, oh
Just for a moment, like this
We were supposed to be happy for a long time, oh
Why did I spend my youth
On someone like you
Maybe
Maybe
Perhaps
Too precious to throw away
But keeping it feels wrong?
Boring? (Boring)
Tedious? (Tedious)
You cruelly think my feelings
Are insignificant, so I’m not even
In your heart (In your heart), phew-
Still the same, maybe
Only telling lies
Pretending to be kind, oh
Again, like this
Messing with my heart
Seems fun for you, oh
I must be a fool
Why did I give everything
To someone like you
Maybe
Maybe
Perhaps
Too precious to throw away
But keeping it feels wrong?
Boring? (Boring)
Tedious? (Tedious)
You’ve already pushed my feelings away
So I’m not even
In your heart (In your heart), huh-
Let’s stop pretending we loved
We laughed and cried
But it wasn’t love (Wasn’t love)
Both of us were waiting
And hoping for the real love to come next
Maybe we were
Too precious to throw away
But keeping it feels wrong?
Boring? (Boring)
Tedious? (Tedious)
You, who are so full of yourself, think
My feelings are always a given
There was only you
Get out of my life
Out of my memories
Out of my loneliness

The lyrics are just beautiful. At first, I kept listening because of Lee Seung-hwan and Sunwoo Jung-a’s detailed vocals, but gradually, the story began to unfold in the song.

This honest lyric, without any pretentiousness or showing off, isn’t like a typical duet – it’s a one-sided outpouring of emotions. But the speaker isn’t just one person but two, like lovers sharing the same feelings and telling each other the same story. That’s why Lee Seung-hwan and Sunwoo Jung-a sing in unison. They’re speaking to each other, but really, no one’s listening. It’s a lonely, solitary song, ‘Maybe’.

It seems like the two who loved each other for quite a while have grown distant for no particular reason. It’s a common story, but when you’re in it, it’s hard to accept. It’s natural to feel disappointed and betrayed, thinking it’s because of the other person. You know things have gone wrong, but breaking up is too difficult. They haven’t imagined it, and they still don’t know what comes next. It feels like the other person is more indifferent, like you’ve been betrayed, like you’ve wasted your time. Your mind’s a mess, and you can’t think straight. You talk to yourself, ask questions, and make conclusions on your own. You loved deeply and gave your all, so you can’t help but feel angry, and more angry, and even more angry. So, even though it’s scary and daunting,

Get out of my life
Out of my memories
Out of my loneliness

That’s the kind of conversation they must have — harsh and cutting.

At that point, it’s like you’re standing alone, facing a storm in a tropical rainforest. All you can do is barely stand amidst the whirlwind of emotions. Nothing else matters. You can’t hear or see anything around you. You feel like the only one alive, and at the same time, the only one dead in this world.

Listening to this song, it feels like you’re standing right next to someone like that, doesn’t it?
