are you missing a line in should've loved you more?

Are you talking about the first few lines that Chanhyuk sings? If so, then no, I didn’t miss a line. I know the original Korean lyrics are split up into four lines, but I had to condense them into three. 

When translated literally, they’re: More than I love you that you love me when [I] say [it’s] bigger don’t say no 

Doesn’t really make sense, right?  

Which is why I chose to translate them to: When I say you love me more than I love you don’t deny it 

I hope this clears things up!

Let’s Take Time (시간을 갖자)

Let's take time If we're going to continue like this and grow apart Wouldn't you rather we stop here briefly 

Let's take time If we're going to naturally, wordlessly break up like this Wouldn't you rather we lessen our familiarity with each other 

In order for our love until now to not be in vain We just wanna take it back 

Let's stop briefly on our own We were precious to each other, but let's lose the familiarity while we're apart Let's act unaffected for as long as we can Oh, it's alright if we never see each other again If that's us If that was us until now 

Let's take time If we're going to naturally, wordlessly become strangers like this Wouldn't you rather we hide and avoid our ending 

In order to not dirty the things we trusted until now We just wanna take it back 

Let's stop briefly on our own We were precious to each other, but let's lose the familiarity while we're apart Let's act unaffected for as long as we can Oh, it's alright if we never see each other again If that's us If that was us until now

Farewell (작별 인사)

When I left, the flower pot in the window sill was empty  So I moved in a geranium from the backyard  When I left, dust was piled up on the bookshelf  So I left a short letter inside a book 

The teacup and faded wallpaper I've grown attached to The traces I left behind are difficult, so don't change them like the things left behind in my heart as well 

When I left, a butterfly was sitting on the door frame I couldn't cross, and looked at it When I left, an ant crawled onto my foot So I stopped walking, and we said farewell 

The teacup and faded wallpaper I've grown attached to Don't change them until you figure out what they mean like the things left behind in my heart as well

Endless Dream, Good Night (밤 끝없는 밤)

Even after sleeping and sleeping, sleep comes endlessly I've dreamed a couple of dreams so far My cheeks are swollen If I sit without focus, my eyes close again 

My body won't move, this isn't what I intended But in my head, I'm busily acting out the things I have to do 

Oh sweet sleep Even the noisy sounds outside are my lullaby Oh night, endless night My eyes won't open Endless dream, good night 

Please make sure to wake me up if I can't ever open my eyes Whisper to me, don't suddenly surprise me 

I can't hear any words They're answering something else The galaxy in my head is floating around 

Oh sweet sleep Even the noisy sounds outside are my lullaby Oh night, endless night My eyes won't open Endless dream, good night 

Am I going to dream forever like this 

Oh sweet sleep Even the noisy sounds outside are my lullaby Oh night, endless night My eyes won't open Endless dream, good night 

Oh night, endless night My eyes won't open Endless dream, good night

Whale (고래)

Whale, I wish you could have at least the ocean Whale, I wish you could swim the way you always have 

I'm jealous of you whale, everyone probably is That's probably why everyone is trying to steal away the ocean 

Oh, I long for your enormous shadow Traveling through this vast ocean is your privilege 

Whale, I wish you could have at least the ocean Whale, I wish you would spray water up into the dry sky 

Don't be afraid of the rumbling noise, because no matter how loud it is It cannot compare to thunder 

Oh, I long for your enormous shadow Traveling through this vast ocean is your privilege 

The sky's mirror, the ocean The earth's washbasin, the ocean The birthplace of dew, the ocean The whale's home, the ocean The other side of memories, the ocean A mother's tears, the ocean The earth's breaths, the ocean A whale's heart 

Oh, I long for your enormous shadow Traveling through this vast ocean is your privilege

Should’ve Loved You More (더 사랑해줄걸)

When I say you love me more than I love you don't deny it 

Should've loved you more  Should've loved you more Should've loved you more 

I realized when I lost you When you asked if we were too comfortable with each other I said I liked it this way 

Should've loved you more Should've loved you more Should've loved you more 

We cried because the song was sad We cried even after it ended In that moment, we seemed heartless We only cried after after we hung up, oh baby We're like fools, aren't we, baby 

Should've loved you more Should've loved you more Should've loved you more

Freedom

I want to walk without clothes, without caring about what others think Returning to when I was young and didn't know shame I want to live without a home, traveling around the whole world I don't want to be trapped in my room with nothing reflected in my eyes 

Ride a zebra and run, cross the crosswalk, hands up yeah yeah The way you want, yeah yeah Roll through a puddle, over the wall, jump up yeah yeah 

Breathing is freedom Looking at me is freedom Loving me is free Learning about me is freedom Singing is freedom Dancing is freedom Being on my side is free Anti also free 

I want to walk without a path, following the dragonflies So I can be the first to leave my footprints there  I want to live without money, owning the whole world I want to empty my hands and welcome the generation 

Spread your natural-born talent, spread your arms high, hands up yeah yeah The way you want yeah yeah Call your friends who are stuck, get some fresh air yeah yeah 

Breathing is freedom Looking at me is freedom Loving me is free Learning about me is freedom Singing is freedom Dancing is freedom Being on my side is free Anti also free 

Dreaming is freedom Sleeping deeply is freedom Donating is free Not donating is freedom Voting is freedom Expressing yourself is freedom Becoming my fan is free Anti also free

Moon (달)

The exceptionally bright moon I can see your smile in the enormous circle 

I take a shower and put on my shower gown  I walk out to the veranda Watching the night sky without subtitles Listening to the breeze without translations 

Tears are gathering because it's so sad Because the moon is so sad I wish it would rain tonight 

The exceptionally bright moon I can see your smile in the enormous circle  If I smile slightly, will I be reflected in the moon too 

The perfectly humid air is like your touch If I listen carefully, the air in the middle of this night is like your speech 

Tears are gathering because it's so sad Because the moon is so sad I wish you would come tonight 

The exceptionally bright moon I can see your smile in the enormous circle  If I smile slightly, will I be reflected in the moon too 

The exceptionally bright moon The one thing we share is still... If I smile slightly... 

I take a shower and put on your scent I bid the moon good night today too I weep on mute without a sound I bid the moon good night today too 

I take a shower and put on your scent I bid the moon good night today too I weep on mute without a sound I bid the moon good night today too

How Can I Love the Heartbreak, You’re the One I Love (어떻게 이별까지 사랑하겠어, 널 사랑하는 거지)

I purposefully take a few steps back I look at you walking without me There is a void beside you Upon the gray road, you look back 

I knew just then That I can't leave you No matter how many problems we face It's easier to withstand, than breaking up 

How can I even love the heartbreak when you're the one I love I can't give up on us solely because of love and experience heart-wrenching pain 

Should I turn back a couple of times We walk along together upon the desolate road Conversation lacking substance We look out into the distance where the light shines 

I realized just then I can longer move forth Every step brings me closer to our breakup Your hand I used to hold seems to vanish 

How can I even love the heartbreak when you're the one I love I can't give up on us solely because of love and experience heart-wrenching pain 

How could I, to you Our love so deep as the ocean Waiting till it runs dry will be our farewell

Fish in the Water (물 만난 물고기)

Inside the storm's wreckage that swept away the scene Are the gentle waves, veiling their power The reflection of my face, my rippling face You became the ocean and I became the boat 

The loneliness that stops inside this blue canvas The brilliant colors that make even death awkward The flying lives, the swimming lives You became the paint and I became the brush 

"You must live, and even if you have to grasp at straws, remember my name" A word from the ocean that was good at music and enjoyed loneliness 

"Like the way we sing, like the way we speak"  "Live like the way we swim, live like the way we sing" 

Inside the storm's wreckage that swept away the scene Is the last piece of art that was left behind Only after you endure your soliloquy Can you become art and a legend 

"You must live, live like you're dying, and do music like you wish I was there" They finally met the water they longed for And like a fish, they had to leave 

"Like the way we sing, like the way we speak" "Live like the way we foresee, live like the way we sing" 

"Like the way we sing, like the way we speak" "Live like the way we foresee, live like the way we sing"

Chantey (뱃노래)

The sea that spills over into my ears  I feel it with my eyes closed I'm sitting still in this place, because I know how to sail 

Chantey, chantey A song that casts away loneliness How many, how many waves do we have to cross 

The salty wind wets my lips Even if my hands and feet are bound I know the way to freedom 

Chantey, chantey  A song that casts away loneliness How many, how many waves do we have to cross
