The lyricist mentions a diary filled with secrets, a place where unspoken feelings are kept safe. ‘I wrote them in my diary so no one could see,’ the singer says, showing how personal these emotions are. The melody follows this quiet struggle, highlighting the tension between what is felt and what is said.
Eojjeoda gojak geumaeumdo motchamgoHow did I fail to hold back even those small feelings,
Meongcheonghage da deonjyeonneunjiand foolishly throw them all out?
Mwonga deulkyeobeorin geotgataI feel like I’ve been caught,
Pyojeongeul boni mariyajust by looking at the look on your face.
Nado tiganabeorin gobaege eolmana nollanneunji mollaI don’t even know how shocked I was by my own obvious confession.
Maeil chineun jangnanedo dugundaegoMy heart flutters even at the jokes we share every day,
Oneuldo myeotbeonigo tteollyeotjimanand I felt nervous so many times today.
Yaksokaesseo nal anajwo jom arajwoI promised myself that ‘hold me’ and ‘please notice me’,
Igeon kkumeseoman hagiyawould only ever happen in my dreams.
Musimko deonjin ne mareAt the words you tossed out so casually,
Harujongil seolleoeo ganjikaettaI felt excited all day and kept them close.
Amudo motboge ilgijange jeogeoI wrote them in my diary so no one could see,
Dandanhi jamgwonneundeand I locked it up tight.
Eojjeoda gojak geumaeumdo motchamgoHow did I fail to hold back even those small feelings,
Meongcheonghage da deonjyeonneunjiand foolishly throw them all out?
Kkukkkuk chamgo tto kkokkkok sumgyeoseoI suppressed them and hid them away so well,
Ijekkaji jalhaewatjanaI’d been doing such a good job until now.
Geureoda gojak ureumdo motchamgoThen, I couldn’t even hold back my tears,
Gwaenchanda malhamyeo dununeunand while saying I’m okay, my eyes
Tungtung butgo komaengmaengiga doeeodo nanare swollen and my voice is stuffy, but still,
Naeireun malgeumtomorrow will be ‘clear’.
Yejeoncheoreom yeopeseo bapmeogeodoEven if we eat side-by-side like before,
Uyeonhi nuni saljjak majuchyeodo geokjeongmaor if our eyes happen to meet, don’t worry.
Nal anajwo ani saranghaejwoSaying ‘hold me’ or ‘actually, love me’,
Igeon kkumeseoman hanikkais only something I do in my dreams.
Musimko deonjin ne mareAt the words you tossed out so casually,
Harujongil seolleoeo ganjikaettaI felt excited all day and kept them close.
Amudo motboge kkogitkkogit gugyeoI crumpled them up so no one could see,
Ssibeo da samkyeosseonneundeand I chewed them up and swallowed them down.
Eojjeoda gojak geumaeumdo motchamgoHow did I fail to hold back even those small feelings,

Sasil naTo be honest,
Ajuorae ulgeotgataI think I’ll be crying for a very long time.
Gojak chingudo motdoenikkaBecause I can’t even manage to be just friends.
Tuktuk teolgo hwaljjak useulmankeumI’m not strong enough to just shake it off,
Naneun geuri ganghajiga anaand give you a big, bright smile.
GeureodaAnd yet,
Gojak sarangi mworagowhat is love anyway?
Gwaenchanda malhaneun nalkkajiUntil the day I can truly say I’m okay,
Kkukkkuk chamgo tto ilgina sseugoisseo naI’ll keep holding it in and writing in my diary.
