QWER “Dear” Lyrics
Hangul
[Verse 1: Siyeon]
맑은 하늘에 비 내리는 날
내 마음과 정말 닮아서 이상하네요
한 방울 한 방울씩 떨어지는 비가
점점 맘에 차서 숨쉬기가 힘들 것 같아요
[Pre-Chorus: Chodan, Siyeon, Magenta]
세상이 아직은 무섭고
여전히 넘어지는 게
아직은 너무 어려운가 봐
[Chorus: Siyeon]
눈물 멈추는 법을 몰라요
차디차고 너무 아파요
괜찮다는 말은 다 거짓말
비가 내리는 여기 남겨져
혼자 울고 싶지 않아요
알려주세요
눈물을 참는 방법
[Verse 2: Siyeon]
하나둘 한숨 위로 차오른 슬픔이
이제는 밖으로 다 쏟아져 넘칠 것 같아요
[Pre-Chorus: Magenta, Siyeon, Chodan]
말해줘 다 잘될 거라고
도와줘 겁 많은 나라서
날 믿을 수 없을 땐, 어떡해야 하나요
누구라도 말해줘요
넘어지는 게 아직 너무 어려운가 봐
[Chorus: Siyeon]
눈물 멈추는 법을 몰라요
차디차고 너무 아파요
괜찮다는 말은 다 거짓말
비가 내리는 여기 남겨져
혼자 울고 싶지 않아요
알려주세요
눈물을 참는 방법
[Bridge: Hina, Siyeon]
내리던 비가 그치고 나면
내일이 꼭 올 테니까
[Chorus: Siyeon]
눈물 멈추는 법을 몰라도
이런 내가 자꾸 미워도
잠시 멈춰 눈물을 삼키고
일기장 속에 적어 놓았던
“잘 지내나요?”란 말 위에
적어봐요
“이젠 잘 지낼게요”
[Outro: Siyeon]
잘 지낼게요

Translation
[Verse 1: Siyeon]
A rainy day with a clear sky
It’s just like how I feel and it’s weird
Raindrops falling one by one
Fill me up until it’s hard for me to breathe
[Pre-Chorus: Chodan, Siyeon, Magenta]
The world is still kinda scary
Still, falling down feels
A bit too hard for me
[Chorus: Siyeon]
I never really learned how to stop crying
It’s too cold and it hurts so bad
When I say I’m okay, it’s all a lie
Left alone in the rain
I don’t want to cry alone
Tell me, please
How to hold back tears
[Verse 2: Siyeon]
Sadness piles up on a sigh one at a time
I’m pretty sure it’s all about to overflow
[Pre-Chorus: Magenta, Siyeon, Chodan]
Tell me it’s all going to be okay
Help me, I’m just too afraid
What do you do when even you don’t bеlieve in you?
Someonе please tell me
Falling down is still too hard for me
[Chorus: Siyeon]
I never really learned how to stop crying
It’s too cold and it hurts so bad
When I say I’m okay, it’s all a lie
Left alone in the rain
I don’t want to cry alone
Tell me, please
How to hold back tears
[Bridge: Hina, Siyeon]
Once the rain stops falling
Tomorrow will come for sure
[Chorus: Siyeon]
I never really learned how to stop crying but
Even if I’m sick of being this way
Pause for a second, swallow those tears
On the part where I wrote
‘How are you doing?’
I write down
‘I think I’ll be okay now’
[Outro: Siyeon]
I’ll be okay
QWER “Dear” Meaning
In QWER’s song “Dear” (Korean title: 눈물참기, meaning “Hold Back Tears” or “Endure”), the title itself captures the emotional tension at the heart of the track—the struggle to stay strong in the face of pain, while still cherishing the small, fleeting joys that make life bearable. The lyrics paint a portrait of exhaustion from constant hardship and the effort to maintain a facade of being okay, even when it’s far from the truth. Lines like “I’ve never really learned how to stop crying / It’s too cold and it hurts so bad / When I say I’m okay, it’s all a lie” reflect this raw vulnerability.
Yet, amidst the weariness, “Dear” also gently reminds listeners of life’s hidden miracles—those brief moments of happiness that bring warmth and meaning. This duality forms the emotional core of the song: the internal conflict of suppressing tears and enduring adversity, while still choosing to recognize and hold onto the beauty in everyday life. In this way, “Dear” becomes a heartfelt anthem of resilience and quiet hope.
