BAEKHYUN “Love Again” Lyrics

Hangul

다시 한번 내게 말해줘
다시 그날처럼 사랑한다고 해줘

믿을 수 없었지 너의 모든 것에
Like looking in the mirror
닮아 있던 우리
사랑을 말해주던 그 예쁜 입술이
꾹 잠궈진 듯 아무 말 없네

난 이해가 안돼 마음으로는 왜
날 사랑한다 해놓고 더 도망치려 해
우리 사랑의 race 끝날 수 없게 babe
지금 돌아서면 다신 돌아갈 수 없다고

다시 한번 내게 말해줘
나를 사랑한다고 해줘
Don’t leave me alone baby
Just stay for the night baby
날 떠나지 않겠다고 말해줘

Tell me your love again
Come back to me again
Tell me your love again
Come back to me again

돌려놓을래 전부
난 제자리고 I still love you
너가 채워주던 내 모든 것들이
떠 있어 마치 balloon
그 기억들로 가득해 전부
여전히 나는 그대로인데

난 이해가 안돼 마음으로는 왜
날 사랑한다 해놓고 더 도망치려 해
우리 사랑의 race 끝날 수 없게 babe
지금 돌아서면 다신 돌아갈 수 없다고

다시 한번 내게 말해줘
나를 사랑한다고 해줘
Don’t leave me alone baby
Just stay for the night baby
날 떠나지 않겠다고 말해줘

Tell me your love again
Come back to me again
Tell me your love again
Come back to me again

Translation

This track is a poignant, desperate heartbreak anthem that acts as an emotional companion to the themes of running, racing, and fear of abandonment explored in your earlier songs. Using the metaphor of a crumbling relationship as a broken race (“the race of our love”), the lyrics paint a raw portrait of someone pleading for reassurance as their partner pulls away. The imagery of looking into a mirror (“like looking in the mirror”) emphasizes how deeply connected they once were, making the partner’s sudden, cold silence all the more paralyzing and incomprehensible.

Tell Me Your Love Again (English Translation)
Tell me one more time,
Tell me you love me, just like you did back then

I couldn’t even believe it, everything about you—
Like looking in the mirror
We were so incredibly alike
Those beautiful lips that used to whisper love to me
Are now tightly locked, as if they have nothing left to say

I just can’t understand, inside my heart, why—
Why do you try to run away even further after telling me you love me?
So that the race of our love can never end, babe—
If you turn your back on me right now, we can never go back again

Tell me one more time,
Tell me that you love me
Don’t leave me alone baby
Just stay for the night baby
Tell me that you won’t leave me

Tell me your love again
Come back to me again
Tell me your love again
Come back to me again

I want to turn everything back to how it was
I’m still in the exact same place, and I still love you
Every single part of me that you used to fill up
Is just floating away, like a balloon
It’s completely filled to the brim with nothing but those memories
Even though I am still exactly the same as I’ve always been

I just can’t understand, inside my heart, why—
Why do you try to run away even further after telling me you love me?
So that the race of our love can never end, babe—
If you turn your back on me right now, we can never go back again

Tell me one more time,
Tell me that you love me
Don’t leave me alone baby
Just stay for the night baby
Tell me that you won’t leave me

Tell me your love again
Come back to me again
Tell me your love again
Come back to me again

BAEKHYUN “Love Again” Meaning

“Love Again” by Baekhyun is an emotional R&B song about longing for a lost relationship and hoping for a second chance at love. The track captures the pain of watching a meaningful connection slip away while still holding onto the memories and feelings that remain.

A major theme of the song is lingering attachment. The narrator reflects on a past romance that felt deeply connected, comparing the relationship to looking into a mirror. Even though the love has drifted away, the memories continue to stay close, making it difficult to move on.

The lyrics also express heartbreak and confusion. Baekhyun portrays the frustration of receiving mixed signals from someone who once expressed love but now seems distant. This emotional uncertainty leaves him questioning what went wrong and whether the relationship can still be saved.

Ultimately, “Love Again” is a sincere plea for reconciliation. The narrator wishes to return to the happier days of the relationship and asks his former lover to love him the way they once did. Through its vulnerable lyrics and smooth R&B sound, the song beautifully conveys the hope and sorrow of wanting to start over with someone you still love.
