NCT 127 “No Longer” Lyrics

Hangul

너를 사랑하지 않는
그 사람이 가끔 부럽기도 했어
오늘 우는 너의 옆에서 꺼낸 말
겨우 괜찮아 괜찮아 다

소리 없이 이 계절
틈 사이 스며든 너
잠깐 쉬어가진 마요
계속 여기에 머물러요

She no longer needs me
널 원할 수록
내 현실은 무거워지고 있어
성급한 내 고백에 모든 게
어려워질까 봐
그럼에도 나는 더 참지 못해
지금 너에게 달려 가고 싶어
나의 모든 순간이
너를 원하고 있으니

우리 마음에 있는
모든 감정을 꺼내 놓을 수 있다면
오해와 이해 그 사이를 헤매는
두려움은 없었을 텐데

향기 없던 나의 하루를 채워준 너
잠깐 쉬어가진 마요
계속 여기에 머물러요

She no longer needs me
널 원할 수록
내 현실은 거칠어지고 있어
성급한 내 고백에 모든 게
어려워질까 봐
그럼에도 나는 더 참지 못해
지금 너에게 달려 가고 싶어
나의 모든 순간이
너를 원하고 있으니

세상이 너에게서 날
자꾸만 한발 짝 뒤로 물러나게 해
그런데 왜 지금 흐르는 걸까 눈물이

She no longer needs me
너를 더 원해
이 현실이 무겁고 거칠어도
널 사랑해 사랑해 전할게
내 마음 전부 다
너의 상처들은 내게 나눠줘
지금 너에게 달려 가고 있어
나의 모든 순간이
너를 원하고 있으니

믿어줘 내 모든 순간
널 향해 있음을

Translation

Sometimes, I was jealous of the person
Who doesn’t love you
The only thing I could say today when you were crying
Was “it’s OK, everything will be OK”

You silently seeped into this season
Don’t just take a break here
Keep staying here

‘She no longer needs me’
The more I want you
The heavier my reality gets
What if my rash confession makes everything harder?
But still, I can’t take it anymore
I want to run to you right now
Because all of my moments want you

If we could take out all the emotions
In our hearts
There would be no fear that wanders
Between misunderstanding and understanding

You filled up my day that was scentless
Don’t just take a break here
Keep staying here

‘She no longer needs me’
The more I want you
The rougher my reality gets
What if my rash confession makes everything harder?
But still, I can’t take it anymore
I want to run to you right now
Because all of my moments want you

The world keeps making me take
One step away from you
But why do tears keep coming?

‘She no longer needs me’
I want you more
Though this reality is heavy and rough
I love you, I love you, I’ll tell you all of my heart
Share your scars with me
I’m running to you right now
Because all of my moments want you

Believe me
All of my moments are facing you

NCT 127 “No Longer” Meaning

“No Longer” (나의 모든 순간) by NCT 127 is a heartfelt R&B ballad about the pain of a breakup and the difficult process of letting go. The song portrays the emotional realization that someone who once meant everything no longer needs you in their life.

A central theme of the track is loss and acceptance. The narrator reflects on a relationship that has gradually come to an end, struggling to come to terms with the fact that the person they love has moved on. The lyrics capture the loneliness and heartbreak that follow when cherished memories become part of the past.

Another important message is selfless love. Rather than trying to hold on, the narrator chooses to let their former partner go, even though it causes immense pain. The song suggests that true love sometimes means accepting another person’s happiness, even when it no longer includes you.

Ultimately, “No Longer” is a moving reflection on heartbreak, growth, and emotional release. Through its powerful vocals and poignant lyrics, the song conveys the bittersweet reality of accepting that a relationship has ended while cherishing the moments that once made it meaningful.
