생각이 나서 (Ghost of You) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
This part shows deep frustration and pain. The singer resents their ex, not just for what happened, but because they still occupy their thoughts. There’s anger, disappointment, and regret—like they were fooled into believing in something that wasn’t real. Love, in the end, feels cruel and unfair, leaving them desperate to move on but unable to erase the memories.

[Post-Chorus]
Here, the singer acknowledges that their ex is truly gone, and there’s no way to reconnect. There’s a mix of relief and sarcasm in “thank you for leaving,” as if they’re trying to convince themselves it’s for the best. But deep down, there’s still unresolved pain and lingering emotions.

[Verse 1]
Walking alone, lost in thought, the singer is unexpectedly reminded of their past relationship through a song, making them wonder if their ex ever thinks of them too. They feel conflicted—part of them wishes to forget, but another part fears that being forgotten would hurt even more. The scars left by this love are deep, and their ex’s presence still lingers, even in their scent. They question why promises were made if they were only meant to be broken. The love they once had felt intense, like it would last forever, but now they see it was just an illusion. Reality has sunk in, and they know it’s too late to change anything.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time has moved forward, and they aren’t asking for their ex to come back. But no matter how much time passes, they still find themselves thinking about them, unable to completely let go.

[Chorus]
Again, the singer expresses their frustration, hating how thoughts of their ex still haunt them. They feel like they were deceived, believing in something that wasn’t real. Love feels unfair, painful, and inescapable, and they desperately want to erase their ex from their mind.

[Post-Chorus]
They remind themselves that their ex can’t reach out anymore, reinforcing the finality of the breakup. Saying “thank you for leaving” feels like an attempt to convince themselves they’re better off, but the lingering repetition suggests they’re still struggling to fully accept it.

[Verse 2]
Even though time has passed, everything still feels different—emptier, darker. The rain, the streets, and even familiar places don’t feel the same anymore. Their heartbreak has left them emotionally broken, stuck in time, unable to move forward the way they want to. They just want to stop thinking about their ex, but they know deep down that they will never see them again, making it all the more painful.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time has moved on, and they aren’t asking for their ex to return. But no matter what, thoughts of them still creep in.

[Chorus]
Once again, the singer expresses how love has left them feeling betrayed and exhausted. They hate that they still think about their ex, wishing they could erase them from their mind. The pain and frustration are overwhelming, making them question how love could turn out this way.

[Post-Chorus]
The repetition of this part reinforces the idea that their ex is gone, and there’s no way to reconnect. “Thank you for leaving” could be bitter sarcasm or an attempt at self-reassurance, but either way, it’s clear they are still struggling to truly move on.
