I Want You Back (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The singer is overwhelmed by loneliness and regret. They keep thinking about their ex, following memories and signs they left behind. Being alone in the bed they once shared feels unreal and painful. They admit they made mistakes, feel bad about it, and just want the other person to come back. The memories and voice of the ex still linger, making the pain even stronger.

[Verse 1]
Even though they’re no longer together, the singer feels emotionally closer to their ex than ever. They wonder if their ex feels the same way. Sometimes, they admit to having harsh thoughts—like wishing their ex was hurting too. They remember how their partner always said they were too busy, and that hurt them, maybe making things worse between them.

[Verse 2]
The singer realizes they made poor choices, like blaming time or ignoring calls. They now understand their ex might have been waiting for them, hoping they’d reach out. They feel guilty about not being present and doing enough. Letting go should be easy, but they just can’t do it, and they hate how weak that makes them feel. They still long to see their ex, even for a moment.

[Chorus]
They’re stuck in this loop of regret and longing, going over the same feelings—being alone, missing the other person’s presence, and hoping for forgiveness. The bed feels empty without them, and their voice still plays in the singer’s head. It’s clear they’re not over the breakup and are desperate to have them back.

[Verse 3]
The singer remembers the sweet, playful moments they shared, like joking about who loved the other more. Now, they feel they truly love their ex more than ever. They ask if the other person still feels anything too. They’re caught in the past, reliving old memories, and beating themselves up for how foolish they were to lose that love.

[Chorus]
Again, they go back to the same emotional state—missing their ex, feeling alone, and haunted by memories. They repeat how sorry they are and how badly they want the person to return. The repetition shows just how deep and constant their pain and longing are.

[Outro]
The singer wishes this heartbreak could be undone, like waking up from a bad dream to find everything back to normal. They imagine opening their eyes and seeing their ex still there, hoping this time the relationship could last forever. There’s a deep yearning for another chance, and they keep calling for them to come back, clinging to that small hope.
