I kept enduring, enduring, but I can't go on like this

I gather courage and take one step closer

How difficult even this one step was

But was that time too long?

Did the timing not work out, and did it backfire on me?

Trying to regain that feeling, I lose you, the most important one

You, who used to just be happy when I handed you movie tickets
ijen nado moreuge budamkkaji deohae jwo
Now, without me knowing, you add even more burden

Just because I wanted to see you, just the two of us
bogo sipeoseo pinggyero geonnen pyo
Tickets I offered as an excuse because I wanted to see you

Being honest for nothing, there's no relief, only long regret

원망스럽다 — resentful / blameable

원망스럽다 translates to "resentful" or "blameable." It's a strong emotional word that expresses a deep sense of grievance or bitterness towards someone or something.

In the song, the lyrics state, "내가 원망스럽다 네가 원망스럽다" (I resent myself, I resent you). This highlights the internal conflict and confusion of the speaker, who is unsure whether to blame themselves or the other person for the difficult situation. It's a powerful word that captures the raw, conflicted emotions of unrequited love and regret.

Stray Kids' "Sorry, I Love You" dives into that incredibly relatable, awkward, and sometimes painful situation where you fall for a friend. The lyrics are a confession, almost an apology, for having feelings that just won't stay hidden. The singer keeps saying, "좋아해서 미안 미안" [Sorry, sorry for liking you] and "맘에 들어 미안 미안" [Sorry, sorry for liking you], as if their affection is a burden or even a crime. It's so honest about how hard it is to pretend you don't like someone when your feelings are practically screaming.

What really hits home is the struggle. They tried to hold back, but eventually took a step closer, only to find it created a wall instead of bringing them together. "가까워지기 위한 게 더는 다가가지 못할 벽을 쌓아 버렸다는 게 너무 어이없다" [It's so absurd that what was meant to bring us closer ended up building a wall that keeps us apart]. They're frustrated with themselves and the situation, wishing they could just stay friends, but the person is "너무 예뻐서" [too pretty] and "너무 아쉬워서" [too regrettable] to just let go. It's a bittersweet anthem for anyone who's ever been stuck in the friend zone, desperately wanting more.
