김현철 - why can’t we

가사는 사랑하는 상대와 더 이상 함께할 수 없다는 아픔을 담고 있다
그들은 서로에 대한 깊은 감정이 있지만, 물리적인 거리와 상황으로 인해 함께 할 수 없음을 애통하게 느낀다
결국 이별을 받아들이며 눈물을 보이지 않으려 너에게서 멀어져야 한다는 결심을 한다

I'm standing here to tell you that I can't go on. I'm sorry, dear.
Tried everything, but I think we must say good-bye.

You're standing there once again in the same place where I can't be.
Always too far for me to reach my hand to you.

Tell me why it feels you're always far away. Tell me why I cannot wipe your tears away.
Tell me why I can't be with you every single night
why we can't be together when I'm in love with you
when you're in love with me, why can't we.

It's hard to say that we were never meant to be. I'm sorry, dear.
Easy to say that we were never meant to be. I'm sorry, dear.

Tell me why it feels I'm never meant for you. Tell me why then I still feel this love for you.
Tell me why you can't be with me every single night
why we can't be together when you're in love with me
when I'm in love with you, why can't we.

Although I still have so much love for you what good is it when I make you cry at night

we both know that there is nothing we can do.
I guess there're things we cannot change or overcome
Baby, you should (just) turn around and walk away from me
so you can't see the tears that I'm holding back from you tears that know our love is through.
