Never Meant to Be Lyrics Translation – Giriboy | Heize
The lyric describes knotted scars that bloom every time the ex gets remembered. ‘You become the spear that pierces my shield,’ they sigh, admitting the exit door no longer opens.
너와 난 만나선 안 될 사람이었는데You and I were two people who should’ve never met.
이름도 알아선 안 될 사람Someone whose name I shouldn’t have even known.
어떻게 감당하려고 우리 둘은How were the two of us planning to handle it,
사랑 같은 실수를 해버렸나when we made a mistake like falling in love?
돌아서면 끝인 줄I thought it would be over if I just turned away,
너와 나의 감정this feeling between you and me.
안 풀려 묶인 줄I thought we were tied in a knot that couldn’t be undone.
대책 없이 빠져버렸지We fell for it completely, without any plan.
나갈 수 없어I can’t get out.
넌 나선 소식 같어You’re like a rumor that keeps appearing.
자꾸 내게 보이지 말어Please stop showing up in front of me.
이쪽으로 오지 마Don’t come over here.
너무 선명해 눈이 멀 것 같아You’re so vivid, I think I might go blind.
무슨 벌을 받으려고 우린 이렇게What kind of punishment are we facing,
잔인하게 상처를 주고받나to be hurting each other so cruelly?
흉터를 보면 다시 네가 떠올라When I look at the scars, I’m reminded of you again.
웃음이 나와 아파도A laugh escapes, even though it hurts.
너와 난 만나선 안 될 사람이었는데You and I were two people who should’ve never met.
이름도 알아선 안 될 사람Someone whose name I shouldn’t have even known.
어떻게 감당하려고 우리 둘은How were the two of us planning to handle it,
사랑 같은 실수를 해버렸나when we made a mistake like falling in love?
며칠이 지나도 답이 없어Even after a few days, there’s still no answer.
시간도 해결을 못하고Time can’t solve this either.
오늘 또 다른 문제를 만들어Today, we create yet another problem.
넌 사랑이 아니라 답이었어You weren’t love, you were the answer.
기억해도 안 돼I can’t even remember you.
보고 싶어 해도 안 돼I can’t even miss you.
사면이 막혀있는 상태I’m completely trapped with no way out.
계속 갈려나가We just keep getting torn apart.
창이 되어 뚫어 너는 방패You become the spear that pierces my shield.
우리는 노력해도 결국 절대 안 되는 사이Even if we try, we’re a pair that will never work out.
방금이 내게 주어진Was that moment just now
마지막 기회였나the last chance I was given?
너와 난 만나선 안 될 사람이었는데You and I were two people who should’ve never met.
이름도 알아선 안 될 사람Someone whose name I shouldn’t have even known.
어떻게 감당하려고 우리 둘은How were the two of us planning to handle it,
사랑 같은 실수를 해버렸나when we made a mistake like falling in love?
너와 난 만나선 안 돼You and I shouldn’t have met.
사랑했는데But I loved you.
어떻게 감당하려고 우리 둘은How were the two of us planning to handle it,
사랑 같은 실수를 해버렸나when we made a mistake like falling in love?
시간 지나도Even if time passes,
우리 다시 봐도even if we see each other again.
다시는 만나선 안 될 사람We’re people who should never meet again.
화를 내봐도Even if I get angry,
미안해 봐도even if I feel sorry.
안되는 건 절대 안 될 사람We’re a pair that was never meant to be.

‘Never Meant to Be’ lyrics are about lovers who crash on purpose yet refuse to bandage the dent. This Korean goodbye wins because it makes the hurt sound almost elegant.
