“Coward” by PENTAGON
This song is a vulnerable and heartfelt confession from someone who deeply misses their ex and is desperately trying to find the courage to rekindle the relationship.
The lyrics capture the inner turmoil of a self-proclaimed “coward” who hesitates to reach out, admitting that they have never truly been okay since the breakup. Filled with nostalgia for the days they used to laugh, bicker, and love madly, the singer wrestles with their fear of rejection before ultimately deciding that if these lingering, painful feelings are true love, they are more than willing to take the terrifying leap and fall all over again.

English Translation
‘How have you been?” No that’s too obvious
I’m sorry, It’s because it’s hard for me to be courageous
One said I have not changed
I’m still the same, thanks to my looser like thoughts.
Why do I hesitate to start
Whenever I want do well
We were young back then
We loved each and every moment
Let’s cry, laugh, fight, love and
go crazy like those days
Time heals the wound fast
Yes, a thought of you makes me want to sing a love song
the meaning of the flower that bloomed around that era keep comes to mind
The blue you painted my world, it was my everything
I’m a coward, I always hide
Should I go crazy this time
Can I fall back in love with you once again
Oh I’m still
a coward, a coward
In front of you
Will you be able to love me back once again?
Oh once again
I’m a coward, like a coward
I am missing you
It’s okay, I had my life sorted out without you
I remember, you said let’s meet when our path crosses
That became a will to live
To be honest, I never got over it
But tonight
I want the raindrops to wash me away
The days I was lost in the rain
I’m a coward, I only hide
Should I go crazy this time
Can I fall back in love with you once again
Oh I’m still
a coward, a coward
In front of you
Will you be able to love me back once again?
Oh once again
I’m a coward, like a coward
I am missing you
I’m still afraid,
but if this love
Definitely,
I will once agian fall into you
If I go back to you
Will we be able to love each other once again?
Oh once again
I’m a coward, like a coward
I am missing you

잘 지내? 아냐 좀 뻔해
미안해 용기가 안 나서 그래
변한 게 하나도 없대
여전해 아직도 찌질한 성격 탓에
왜 나는 잘하고 싶을 때
시작도 못 하고 망설이는지
우리 참 어렸는데
그땐 뭐가 그리 좋았는지
그때처럼 울고 웃고 지지고 볶고
사랑하고 미치고 그러자
상처는 생각보다 빠르게 시간이 해결해 주더라
그래 널 생각하니 사랑 노래 부르고 싶더라
그맘때 피었던 꽃말이 자꾸 생각나더라
네가 그려줬던 파란색 나의 전부였다
난 겁쟁이 그저 숨기만 해
미친 척해 볼까
내가 널 다시 사랑해도 될까
Oh 여전히 난
겁쟁이 나는 겁쟁이
네 앞에만 서면
네가 날 다시 사랑할 수 있을까
Oh 또다시 난
겁쟁이 나는 겁쟁이처럼
널 그리워하며
괜찮아 너 없이 잘 지내도 봤어
기억나 언젠가 또 만나자던 너
그 말 한마디에 살아졌었는데
아니, 사실 괜찮은 적이 없긴 해
But tonight
I want the raindrops to wash me away
빗속을 헤매던 시간
난 겁쟁이 그저 숨기만 해
미친 척해 볼까
내가 널 다시 사랑해도 될까
Oh 여전히 난
겁쟁이 나는 겁쟁이
네 앞에만 서면
네가 날 다시 사랑할 수 있을까
Oh 또다시 난
겁쟁이 나는 겁쟁이처럼
널 그리워하며
뭐 두렵긴 해도 이게 사랑이라면
오 난 기꺼이 다시 Fall into you
너에게 돌아간다면
우리가 다시 사랑할 수 있을까
Oh 또다시 난
겁쟁이 나는 겁쟁이처럼
널 그리워하며
