The scariest four words in a relationship: “We need to talk”.
It’s funny how Koreans tend to overanalyze and overgeneralize everything, and romantic relationship is our worst victim. According to the unwritten guideline of relationships, the first serious trouble comes around the 10 month mark, reaching it’s lowest point around the year and 3 month mark. How oddly specific, and in most cases, oddly accurate. Here’s a song about that 10 month phase that every couple seems to go through. Some get lucky, others not so much.
I hope everyone in the US has a great 3 day weekend. I have… nothing planned .

또 왜 그러는데 뭐가 못마땅한데
할 말 있으면 터놓고 말해봐
너 많이 변했어 (내가 뭘 어쨌는데)
첨엔 안 그랬는데 (첨에 어땠었는데)
요새는 내가 하는 말투랑
화장과 머리 옷 입는 것까지
다 짜증나나봐 (그건 네 생각이야)
우리 서로 사랑한지도 어느덧 10개월
매일 보는 얼굴 싫증도 나겠지
나도 너처럼 나 좋다는 사람 많이 줄 섰어
(간다는 사람 잡지 않아 어디 한 번 잘해봐)
근데 그놈의 정이 뭔지 내 뜻대로 안돼
맘은 끝인데 몸이 따르질 않아
아마 이런 게 사랑인가봐 널 사랑하나봐
(지금부터 내 말을 들어봐)
넌 집착이 심해 (그건 집착이 아냐)
나를 너무너무 구속해 (그럼 너도 나를 구속해)
우리 결혼한 사이도 아닌데
마치 와이프처럼 모든 걸 간섭해
너의 관심 끌고 싶어서 내 정든 긴 머리
짧게 치고서 웨이브 줬더니
한심스러운 너의 목소리 나이 들어 보여
(난 너의 긴 머리 때문에 너를 좋아했는데)
네가 너무 보고 싶어서 전화를 걸어
날 사랑하냐고 물어봤더니
귀찮은 듯한 너의 목소리 나 지금 바빠
(듣고 보니 내가 너무 미안해)
대화가 필요해 (이럴 바엔 우리 헤어져)
내가 너를 너무 몰랐어 (그런 말로 넘어가지마)
항상 내 곁에 있어서
너의 소중함과 고마움까지도 다 잊고 살았어
대화가 필요해 우린 대화가 부족해
서로 사랑하면서도 사소한 오해
맘에 없는 말들로
서로 힘들게 해 (너를 너무 사랑해)
대화가 필요해
What’s wrong, what is it this time
If you have something to say, just say it
You’ve changed (What did I do?)
You weren’t like this (What was I like?)
You seem irritated by everything
My hair, my clothes
Even the way I talk (It’s all in your head)
It’s already been 10 months since we loved
I guess it’s expected that you’d be tired of me
I have plenty of guys lined up for me
(I’m not stopping you, leave if you want to)
But this stupid thing called love
Ties me down when my mind has already left
Maybe this is what love is, maybe I love you
(Now listen to what I have to say)
You’re too needy (I’m not needy)
All you do is nag (Then nag me too)
We’re not even married
But you act as if you’re my wife
I cut my hair short, hoping you’d notice
I even got a slight perm
But all you can say is ‘You look old’
(I liked you for your long hair)
I called you cause I missed you
And asked if you love me
But all you can say is ‘I’m busy’
(OK, I’m sorry about that one)
We need to talk (Let’s just break up)
I didn’t know, I’m sorry (Not this time)
You were always here
So I took you and your love for granted
We need to talk, we never talk
We love each other, but our heartless words
And the little misunderstandings
Hurt both of us (I love you so much)
We need to talk
10/10.
awesome stories! Such a sweet sounding song but the lyrics are real sad :(
