[English]

You're the only one who doesn't have to know how my heart aches

If you knew everything, it would probably be a burden for you

One day I really wanted to tell you everything

But the happier you became (from my heart), the more I fell apart

My love is always for you— that's what I have to do now

Should I keep it all inside with all my strength? (I'll miss you)

When tears suddenly fall, like today, I speak without any power

It means I love you from the deepest part of my heart

Am I doing okay, or are you just pretending? (I want to know)

When you told me I looked okay, I felt relieved

I almost asked if I'm really not the one for you

Maybe I just misunderstood when I saw your sad face

My love is always for you— that's what I have to do now

Should I keep it all inside with all my strength? (I'll miss you)

When tears suddenly fall, like today, I speak without any power

It means I love you from the deepest part of my heart

Wherever I am, I live because of you, no matter what

Because of that, you're already someone precious (I'll miss you)

Not too close, not too far, I'm right here (I'm right here~)

I can promise you from the deepest part of my heart

I hope you’re smiling again today

[Korean]

You're the only one who doesn't need to know my aching heart

If you knew everything, it would probably be a burden to you

One day, I was really going to tell you everything

But the happier you got (from my heart) the more I broke down

My love is for you always for you, Is the thing I need to do for you now

To hold it in with all I can? (I'll be missing you)

When tears suddenly come like today, words I use without strength

Is that I love you from the deepest of my heart

Am I doing pretty well or are you lying? (I wanna know)

When you told me I looked well, it was a relief

I almost asked you if I really wasn't the one for you

Maybe it might be my misunderstanding as I looked at your sad face

My love is for you always for you, Is the thing I need to do for you now

To hold it in with all I can? (I'll be missing you)

When tears suddenly come like today, words I use without strength

Is that I love you from the deepest of my heart

Wherever I am, I live because of you, however it is

With that, you're already a precious person (I'll be missing you)

Not too close, not too far, I'll be right here (I'll be right here~)

I can promise you from deepest of my heart

I hope you're smiling again today

Key Grammar Structures

• If you knew everything, it would probably be a burden to you.

  ➔ Second conditional (hypothetical present/future)

  ➔ The clause uses the past simple "knew" to talk about an unreal situation, and "would" + base verb "be" to show the imagined result.

• One day, I was really going to tell you everything.

  ➔ Future‑in‑the‑past with "going to"

  ➔ "was" + "going to" expresses an intention that existed in the past but had not yet happened.

• The happier you got, the more I broke down.

  ➔ Comparative correlative construction

  ➔ "the" + comparative adjective + clause, followed by another "the" + comparative adjective + clause, shows a direct relationship between two increasing degrees.

• My love is for you always for you, Is the thing I need to do for you now.

  ➔ Infinitive of purpose (to + verb)

  ➔ "to do" shows the purpose of the verb "need" – the speaker needs "to do" something for the listener.

• When you told me I looked well, it was a relief.

  ➔ Reported speech with past simple

  ➔ "told" is in the past, so the reported clause "I looked well" also stays in past simple, maintaining the original tense.

• Maybe it might be my misunderstanding as I looked at your sad face.

  ➔ Modal verb of possibility + simple past

  ➔ "might be" expresses uncertainty, while "looked" is a simple past action that happened while the speaker was observing.

• Wherever I am, I live because of you, however it is.

  ➔ Indefinite relative clause with "wherever"

  ➔ "wherever" introduces a clause that means "in any place that"; it creates a sense of unconditional location.

• I hope you're smiling again today.

  ➔ Verb of wish + present progressive

  ➔ "hope" is followed by the present progressive "are smiling" to describe a desired ongoing action in the present.
