그랬나봐 (I Think I Did) Lyrics (English Translation) – Yoo Hwe Seung (유회승) (N.Flying)

[Verse]
In the night when many friends gathered
Where it always was
When I can’t see you sometimes
Smelling your scent that I loved
Could it be you? When I turn my head and look for you

[Pre-Chorus]
When I happen to pass by your neighborhood
When your face keeps coming to mind

[Chorus]
I guess so, I guess I like you
Every day, I only think of you
I want to see you and I can do well
I wanted to muster up the courage to call you
That doesn’t work, like a fool

[Pre-Chorus]
When I found out about your email by chance
When I wait for you all night in front of the monitor

[Chorus]
I guess so, I guess I like you
Every day, I only think of you
I want to see you and I can do well
I wanted to muster up the courage to call you
That doesn’t work

[Bridge]
Do you know the darkness that cannot be said?
The long-awaited love is breathing in front of me

[Chorus]
I guess so, I guess I like you
Every day, I only think of you
I want to see you and I can do well
I wanted to muster up the courage to call you, but it didn’t work out.
you always make me dream
I want to become a better man than I am now.
This time I go to see you, I practice
Words that I have hidden in my heart for such a long time
love you
