김현철 - why can't we

노래는 사랑하는 사이지만 서로의 거리와 이로 인한 고통으로 인해 함께할 수 없음을 이야기합니다
여러 가지를 시도했지만 결국 이별을 결심하게 되며, 아픈 감정을 쌓아두고 있는 화자의 심정을 드러냅니다
사랑이 깊지만 상황을 바꿀 수 없음을 인정하는 내용입니다

Im standing here
to tell you that I cant go on.
Im sorry, dear.
Tried everything,
but I think we must say good-bye.

Youre standing there
once again in the same place
where I cant be.
Always too far
for me to reach my hand to you.

Tell me why it feels youre always far away.
Tell me why I cannot wipe your tears away.
Tell me why I cant be with you every single night
why we cant be
together when Im in love with you
when youre in love with me,
why cant we.


Its hard to say
that we were never meant to be.
Im sorry, dear.

So easy to say
that we were never meant to be.
Im sorry, dear.

Tell me why it feels Im never meant for you.
Tell me why then I still feel this love for you.
Tell me why you cant be with me every single night
why we cant be
together when youre in love with me
when Im in love with you,
why cant 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 therere things we cannot change or overcome

Baby, you should (just) turn around
and walk away from me

so you cant see
the tears that Im holding back from you
tears that know our love is through.
