딱 1년만 (Just 1 year) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
He’s wondering if their love could’ve survived had they met a little later in life. Maybe with more maturity and time, they could’ve stayed together. It’s a wishful thought about timing and lost chances.

[Verse 1]
He’s saying their breakup wasn’t really anyone’s fault; it was just the way things turned out. There were so many emotions he couldn’t express back then. They were both too young, trying to act strong while hiding their real feelings. He realizes now that love alone isn’t enough to keep a relationship going—it needs understanding and maturity too, which they didn’t have at that time.

[Pre-Chorus]
He’s confused about why they broke up even though they still loved and missed each other. It doesn’t make sense to him because they couldn’t live without one another. He wishes they had just one more year to make things right and stay together.

[Chorus]
Again, he reflects on how things might’ve been different if they had met one year later. He believes maybe then they would’ve been ready to hold on to each other and not let go.

[Verse 2]
He finally understands what went wrong between them—it wasn’t a big mistake, just their youth and inexperience. Even if he could go back, he knows things wouldn’t change much. But he still regrets not holding her tighter and cherishing their last moments together before parting ways.

[Pre-Chorus]
He remembers the moment she asked him not to leave and said she loved him, but he stayed silent. Now, he wishes he had answered, telling her not to go either. He realizes they shouldn’t have held back their feelings. It wasn’t bad timing that ruined them—it was their own hesitation and immaturity that did.

[Chorus]
He repeats the thought again, longing for a world where they met a year later, believing things might’ve worked out better. It’s a mix of regret and hope that things could’ve been different.

[Post-Chorus]
He softly repeats “just one year,” showing how much he’s stuck on that idea, wishing time could’ve been kinder to them.

[Outro]
He ends with the same question, still wondering if she’d be in his arms had they met just a year later, holding onto that bittersweet “what if.”
