너무 오래 쥐고 있었어 I’ve been holding on for far too long 손바닥엔 손톱자국만 남아 Till all I had were crescent marks in my palms 더 나은 내가 되어야 한다고 I kept telling myself I had to be better 매일 밤 나를 다그쳤지 Night after night, never letting myself rest 채워야만 사랑받을 것 같아서 I thought I had to be more to be worthy of love 비어 있는 게 무서웠어 I was terrified of having nothing to prove 그런데 오늘 문득 But something changed today 창가에 내려앉은 햇살이 The sunlight settled softly by the window 아무것도 묻지 않고 It didn’t ask me to be anything 나를 안아주더라 It just held me where I was 이제 놓아줄게 I think I’m ready to let go 꽉 쥐었던 것들을 Of everything I held too tightly 흘러가는 강물을 I won’t reach for the river 붙잡지 않을게 And beg it not to flow 있는 그대로의 나 This person that I am 부족해도 괜찮아 Doesn’t have to be enough for everyone 비워낸 이 자리에 And in the space I’ve finally opened 바람이 쉬어 가네 Even the wind can stop and breathe 되고 싶던 나와 지금의 나 Between who I wanted to be and who I am 그 사이에서 길을 잃었어 Somewhere along the way, I lost myself 남들 눈에 비친 내 모습이 I kept looking at myself through other people’s eyes 나인 줄로만 알았어 And mistook their reflection for me 흐린 물도 가만히 두면 Even muddy water clears when you leave it still 달은 저절로 비치는데 And the moon appears without being asked 애쓰지 않아도 돼 I don’t have to try so hard 숨을 한 번 들이쉬고 Just breathe in 천천히 내쉬면 And slowly let it go 여기, 내가 있어 I’m still here 이제 놓아줄게 I think I’m ready to let go 꽉 쥐었던 것들을 Of everything I held too tightly 흘러가는 강물을 I won’t reach for the river 붙잡지 않을게 And beg it not to flow 있는 그대로의 나 This person that I am 부족해도 괜찮아 Can be unfinished and still be okay 비워낸 이 자리에 And in the space I’ve finally opened 바람이 쉬어 가네 Even the wind can stop and breathe 두려움도 나의 일부야 Even my fear belongs to me 미워하지 않을게 I won’t hate myself for having it 기대도, 실망도 Hope and disappointment 구름처럼 지나가 They pass like clouds 나는 하늘이었어 I was the sky all along 처음부터, 늘 From the very beginning 이제 놓아줄게 I’m ready now, I’ll let it go 꽉 쥐었던 것들을 (놓아줄게) Everything I held too tightly (I’ll let it go) 흘러가는 강물을 I won’t reach for the river 붙잡지 않을게 I’ll let it carry on 있는 그대로의 나 This person that I am 그걸로 충분해 (충분해) I’m already enough (enough) 비워낸 이 손 위에 And on these open, empty hands 햇살이 내려앉네 The sunlight comes to rest 괜찮아 It’s okay 다 괜찮아 It’s all okay 빈손이어도 Even with nothing in my hands 따뜻해 I’m still warm
