It's okay if you choose to leave me, honey

post #345

Forgot exactly what did I do last nite, but somehow I stumbled to this song by Ock Ju Hyun. It's not everyday that I'd like a song immediately,esp Korean, which language I don't understand. But there's something in the beat, the melody, Ju Hyun's face and voice (ahhh she's beautiful), plus some of the words that were in English that intrigued me.

So today I finally managed to get the MP3, translated version of the music video, and the lyric (in both Korean and English)...talking about determination, huh? :D

It's okay if you choose to leave me
It's okay, I'll still love you even if you don't
I'm..I'm..okay

I say goodbye
Now that we're here, what else can I do
Don't cry because of me
Hug me one last time

What's with the mellow, ballad songs?

Ock Ju Hyun - Honey (English translation)

It's okay if you leave me
It's okay as long as you're happy
You called me while you were drunk
You cried while telling me you were sorry
I yelled, and I spoke in this crumpled position
I'm not even prepared for this separation yet

I can't breathe I can't breathe
It won't matter if I held on
Because your passionate heart grew cold
Even if I held you tight, you won't come back
It's okay if you leave me
It's okay, I'll still love you even if you don't
I'm..I'm..okay

I say goodbye
Now that we're here, what else can I do
Don't cry because of me
Hug me one last time

Even when I turn the tv on, or listen to the radio
I only see love scenes and hear love songs related to our parting
The flowerpot you gave me as a gift, I threw it away
In case I'd think of you again while starting anew

I can't breathe I can't breathe
I don't think I could take another breath
Like something that's been shredded pieces,
like glass that's been shattered
Must I also dispose of my heart as well?
It's okay if you choose to leave me
It's okay, I'll still love you even if you don't
I'm..I'm..okay

I say goodbye
Now that we're here, what else can I do
Don't cry because of me
Hug me one last time

What should I do, without you I'm afraid
Think it over one last time,
and even then if it's still a no~ I'm...

I'm okay
If you choose to leave me
As long as you're happy
