Hurt

Hurt

Because I miss you

In the window we share

I try to speak

I won’t let it go

More than a slow word

I prefer the quiet

I keep waiting

It’s not like this every day

Games are boring to me

I don’t need anything, even if I love you, no

Words alone get tiring

Come first and show me

'Cause I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

Hurt (nah, nah-nah)

I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

Hurt (nah, nah-nah)

I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

Hurt (oh, oh, ooh-ooh)

I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

Hurt (ooh)

I'm not gonna be the same

Hurt (ooh)

I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

Hurt (ooh)

Hurt (ooh)

Every night before falling asleep

And again in the morning

In my grasp

A screen without you

More than a slow word

I prefer the quiet

I keep waiting

It’s not like this every day

Games are boring to me

I don’t need anything, even if I love you, no

Words alone get tiring

Come first and show me

'Cause I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

Hurt (nah, nah-nah)

I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

Hurt (nah, nah-nah)

I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

Hurt (oh, oh, ooh-ooh)

Hurt (ooh)

Hurt (ooh)

That's all

Where you are

It's too far

I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

That's all

Where you are

It's too far

I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

보고 싶은 생각에

들어간 우리 창에

나는 말을 거는데

보내지는 않을래

느린 한마디보다

조용함이 더 좋아

기다리고 있지만

매일 이런 건 아니야

난 재미없어 게임 같은 건

다 필요 없어 아무리 좋아도 널, no

말로만은 지겨운걸

먼저 와서 보여줘

매일 잠들기 전에

그리고 또 아침에

쥐고 있는 내 손엔

너 없는 화면인데

느린 한마디보다

조용함이 더 좋아

기다리고 있지만

매일 이런 건 아니야

난 재미없어 게임 같은 건

Key Grammar Structures

• 보고 싶은 생각에 들어간 우리 창에

  ➔ -(으)ㄴ/는/ㄹ 생각에: expressing a reason or cause for a subsequent action/feeling. Here, '생각에' expresses the reason for going into their chat.

  ➔ The suffix "-에" attached to "생각" (thought) indicates 'because of' or 'due to' the thought of wanting to see them.

• 보내지는 않을래

  ➔ -지 않다+ -을래: expressing a negative intention or volition. It means 'I don't intend to...' or 'I won't...'

  ➔ Here, it implies the speaker doesn't intend to "보내지" (send) something, possibly a message or a feeling.

• 매일 이런 건 아니야

  ➔ Subject + 은/는 + 아니다: Emphasizing that something is not the case.

  ➔ "이런 건" is the subject marked by "은/는". The sentence implies that waiting like this isn't an everyday occurrence.

• 말로만은 지겨운걸

  ➔ -만: only, just. -은/는/ㄹ걸: ending used to express a feeling of surprise, discovery, or realization, often with a hint of regret or understanding.

  ➔ The sentence expresses that the speaker finds it tiresome that it's "말로만" (only with words). The ending -걸 indicates a realization or feeling about the situation.

• 먼저 와서 보여줘

  ➔ -아/어/여서: expressing a sequence of actions or reason. Here it indicates an action that happened first and is followed by another action.

  ➔ "와서" (come) is combined with "보여줘" (show me). So the sentence says, "come first and then show me."

• 'Cause I'm not gonna be the one to get hurt

  ➔ be going to: expressing future intention or plan. "to be the one to do something" is a construction to emphasize being the actor of the verb to follow.

  ➔ The speaker is declaring their intention to not be the one who gets hurt in this situation.

• 네가 와있는 곳은 너무 멀었어

  ➔ -았/었/였어: past tense ending. It indicates that something happened in the past.

  ➔ The distance has become too far in the past, or the speaker has realized it was too far.
