“Gone” lyrics by YUQI
Hangul
sick
Alone and cold in sharp memories
Tears and raindrops flow
sick
The songs I liked came out
I’m the only one who suffers again
At that time I would have done worse than you.
Even if I’m not there when the morning comes again
Even if you don’t remember the day we hugged and laughed
It hurts, but it’s okay because it’s you
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
On the road in the deepening night fog
Even if we get lost
Because I will go to find you who loved me
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
You left me first
“Let’s stop” without any expression
Now I know why I did it then
I went half mad and called your name
I can’t hear what you’re saying
come back to me
You were crazy about me too, yes-yes
You’re breaking my heart (I don’t know why you did this to me)
Even if I’m not there when the morning comes again
Even if you don’t remember the day we hugged and laughed
It hurts, but it’s okay because it’s you
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
On the road in the deepening night fog
Even if we get lost again
Because I will go to find you who loved me
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
I’m sick
It really hurts
It hurts again
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
I’m falling apart
My love is gone
I’m breaking down
I hope we will be happy always and everywhere

Translation
It hurts
Inside sharp memories, I’m alone and I’m cold
Tears fall like raindrops
It hurts
The songs we loved are pouring out
And once again, I’m the only one suffering
I should have been meaner to you then.
Even if I’m not there when the morning comes again
Even if you don’t remember the days when you smiled in my arms
It hurts, but it’s okay because it’s you
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
On that road in the deepening night fog
Even if we happen to get lost
I will go look for the “you” who loved me
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
You were the one who left me first
“Let’s stop,” you said, without a single expression
Now I finally know why you did it then
I called your name like I was half crazy
I can’t hear what you’re saying
Come back to me
To the “me” who was once crazy about you, yes-yes
You’re breaking my heart (I don’t know why you did this to me)
Even if I’m not there when the morning comes again
Even if you don’t remember the days when you smiled in my arms
It hurts, but it’s okay because it’s you
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
On that road in the deepening night fog
Even if we get lost again
I will go look for the “you” who loved me
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
I feel bad
It really hurts
I’m sick again
You know I’ll always be with you, darling
I’m falling apart
My love is gone
I’m breaking down
I hope we can be happy, wherever and whenever that happens.
YUQI “Gone” Meaning
“Gone” is a heartfelt rock ballad that captures the lingering pain of a breakup. The title itself “It hurts” (hurt) sets the tone for a song that not only describes loss, but the profound emotional consequences that linger long after someone is gone.
At its core, the song explores heartbreak and unresolved feelings. The lyrics reflect how memories keep resurfacing, making it difficult to move on completely. Rather than a sudden end, the pain feels gradual and persistent like a pain that refuses to go away. This highlights the emotional weight of separation, whether from a romantic relationship or a close friendship.
Musically, the warm guitar-driven sound paired with YUQI’s emotional vocals heightens the sense of nostalgia and vulnerability. Yet, beneath the sadness, “Left” it also carries a subtle message of growth. As part of his Motivation project, the song suggests that facing pain is part of the healing process that transforms pain into strength over time.
