새로운 시작은 언제나 두렵죠

saeroun sijageun eonjena duryeopjyo

하지만 이번만큼은 사랑이라 꼭 믿어요

hajiman ibeonmankeumeun sarangira kkok mideoyo

아팠던 이별 보다 더 행복해지려고

apatdeon ibyeol boda deo haengbokhaejiryeogo

그대와 우리 영원을 약속하고 맹세하죠

geudaewa uri yeongwoneul yaksokhago maengsehajyo

하지만 잦은 관심이 작은 부담이 되겠죠

hajiman jajeun gwansimi jageun budami doegetjyo

끊기 싫은 긴 통화를 점점 귀찮아하겠죠

kkeungi silheun gin tonghwareul jeomjeom gwichanhahagetjyo

커지는 사랑을 그댄 집착이라 하고

keojineun sarangeul geudaen jipchagira hago

시간이 갈수록 난 이렇게 작아지는걸

sigani galsurok nan ireotge jagajineungeol

그댄 남자라서 남자라서 죽어도 몰라요

geudaen namjaraseo namjaraseo jugeodo molrayo

내가 부족해서 너무 못나서

naega bujokhaeseo neomu monnaseo

그대만 바라보고 있죠

geudaeman barabogo itjyo

그댄 남자라서 남자라서 날 이해 못하죠

geudaen namjaraseo namjaraseo nal ihae moshajyo

그저 자유롭고 싶겠죠

geujeo jayuropgo sipgetjyo

변할 수는 없겠죠 남자라서

byeonhal suneun eopgetjyo namjaraseo

남자라서 남자라서 남자라서

namjaraseo namjaraseo namjaraseo

남자라서 남자라서 남자라서

namjaraseo namjaraseo namjaraseo

내 곁에 있는데 왜 맘이 허전하죠

nae gyeote itneunde wae mami heojeonhajyo

사랑한단 말투가 왜 난 예전 같지 않죠

saranghandan maltuga wae nan yejeon gatji anjyo

기나긴 기다림이 난 갈수록 어려워

ginagin gidarimi nan galsurok eoryeowo

포기하고 싶다고 수백번을 생각하죠

pogihago sipdago subaekbeoneul saenggakhajyo

그대가 잠들기 전 난 불안해 잠 못 이루고

geudaega jamdeulgi jeon nan buranhae jam mot irugo

밤새도록 연락이 끊기면 미쳐버리죠

bamsaedorok yeollagi kkeungimyeon michyeobeorijyo

많은걸 바라는 그런 여자가 아닌데

manheungeol baraneun geureon yeojaga aninde

무심한 한마디 말에 난 또 무너지는걸

musimhan hanmadi mare nan tto muneojineungeol

그댄 남자라서 남자라서 죽어도 몰라요

geudaen namjaraseo namjaraseo jugeodo molrayo

내가 부족해서 너무 못나서

naega bujokhaeseo neomu monnaseo

그대만 바라보고 있죠

geudaeman barabogo itjyo

그댄 남자라서 남자라서 날 이해 못하죠

geudaen namjaraseo namjaraseo nal ihae moshajyo

그저 자유롭고 싶겠죠

geujeo jayuropgo sipgetjyo

변할 수는 없겠죠 남자라서

byeonhal suneun eopgetjyo namjaraseo

남자라서 남자라서 남자라서

namjaraseo namjaraseo namjaraseo

남자라서 남자라서 남자라서

namjaraseo namjaraseo namjaraseo

난 여전히 우리 처음 만난 그날 같은데

nan yeojeonhi uri cheoeum mannan geunal gateunde

그대 미소 앞에 한없이 또 설레이는데

geudae miso ape haneopsi tto seolreineunde

이런 작은 표현 조차 우리에겐 어색해

ireon jageun pyohyeon jocha uriegen eosaekhae

하지만 남자라서 내 남자라서

hajiman namjaraseo nae namjaraseo

아직도 그댈 사랑해요

ajikdo geudael saranghaeyo

그댄 남자라서 남자라서 죽어도 몰라요

geudaen namjaraseo namjaraseo jugeodo molrayo

내가 부족해서 너무 못나서

naega bujokhaeseo neomu monnaseo

그대만 바라보고 있죠

geudaeman barabogo itjyo
