I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better

Say it directly

Looking at me

Say it looking into my eyes

I stared into his eyes, his eyes that looked like they were bottomless. Those deep eyes.

"Jiyong... You have beautiful eyes." He smiled as he kissed my hair.

"You have eyes more beautiful than the stars."

Did you just say you wanted to break up?
Did you want to end it with me?

"Let's break up."

"What?!"

"I'm just joking!" Jiyong said, nudging me.

"Hey..." He poked my cheek. "Hey... I'm sorry mmkay?"

"Not mmkay."
 

(I know) You probably got a lady

"G...GD!" An unknown girl's voice sceamed. I cringed in disgust.

(I know) You probably got sick of me

"Oh, it's nothing."

(Even though) the tears are rushing to me

I could feel all the tears threatening to fall. "Yah, what is it you wanted to tell me?" Jiyong asked, frustrated and annoyed when she suddenly pulled him to the school's yard.

"Jiyong... Let's break up. I... I'll forget you... And you should too."

I’ll back off so you can live
That is all I can say
I’ll forget you so you can live better
So that you will be happy without me

"Jessica, I-"

"Save it Jiyong. I sawi it. I heard it. And i think it's clear enough to me that this relationship is worthless." I bit back a sob.

The love you tossed away. You can take it
Don’t leave even a trace behind and take it all
Don’t even say you are sorry
Don’t worry about me

"I... I'm-"

"Don't apologize. I'm leaving your life, to let you live better. Live free of worries. No clutsy Jessica, no irritating girlfriend, a better life." I spat. I don't know why, i just felt so... Betrayed.

Yo! shawty ma sweety
Your lips that told me that you were going to leave
Why does it give me a reason to be angry today
I need to stop you
The words don’t out
And you are already moving far apart

GD couldn't believe the word that Jessica had just said. He refused to believe it, but he couldn't repair the things he'd done to break her heart. Deep inside, he knew he still loved her.

(I know) You will forget me
(I know) I will really hate you
(Even though) you know everything

"I know that in the future, ywe'll be standing right under this tree, me in tears, you in shock, as i try ot get out of this tangled mess we are in." Jessica giggled.

"Waddaya mean, Sica!!!"

"I mean, that we'll definitely breakup, seeing how much of a playboy you are!"

I’ll back off so you can live
That is all I can say
I’ll forget you so you can live better
So that you will be happy without me

The love you tossed away. You can take it
Don’t leave even a trace behind and take it all
Don’t even say you are sorry
Don’t worry about me

(You) The reason I lived (You) You were all I wanted You~
It was me who only looked at you
(Why) Why are you leaving? (Why) Why are you tossing me away?
(If you were going to be like this) Why did you love me in the first place?

"Jiyong... I'm sick of this." Excuses, excuses. "I was here to be there with you. I acted as if without you, i would die, but apparently, you didn't feel the same. I was the only dumb one, to keep thinking, Oh, Jiyong will love me, Jiyong will care! But it was all me. Just me."

"Jessica, you know i never wanted this to happen."

"IF YOU NEVER WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN, WHY BOTHER LETTING ME HOPE, LETTING ME DREAM, PULLING MY HOPES UP WAYYY HIGHER THAN IT WOULD, AND LET IT ALL DROP DOWN INTO BROKEN PIECES!" I screamed, letting out all my pain as i sobbed uncontrollably.

Do you happen to remember that day?
That day when we first met
I still remember it
The promise you made to me

"Jiyong... Do you really love me?" Jessica asked.

He had confessed to her, under the very same tree they were standing below right now.

"Sica... I'll be the only one that loves you this much, the only one who would protect you from others, the only one who would be there whenever you are sad. Do you belive me?"

"Yes... Yes, i believe you.

That you will only care for me That you will only protect me
That you will only love me
I believed your lies. I believed it

(oh oh oh oh) Did you really love me?
(oh oh oh oh) no no no no
(oh oh oh oh) I’ll forget you so you can live better

"Jiyong... This is the last time you'll see this Jessica. Goobye."
