Editor's note
BIGBANG's 'Lies' and the ache of a love song
A K-pop classic that can't stop apologizing for the feelings it can't shake.
I'm so sorry but I love you
The lyric leans into the contradiction instead of resolving it. Calling the words 'lies' while still singing them gives the whole thing a raw, self-aware futility. It's a love song that hates being a love song, which is exactly what makes it one.
The phrase 'I'm so sorry but I love you' does all the heavy lifting. It's not a clean apology or a pure declaration; it's both at once, a confession that knows it's causing pain even as it's being made. The singer is trapped between wanting to let go and being unable to stop the feeling, which is why the line keeps circling back.
That 'but' is the whole engine. It turns an apology into a confession and a confession back into a problem. The words admit the love is the thing causing the hurt, and they can't let go of either.
The way 'liar, liar' gets whispered in the background after the big apology always sticks. It undercuts the grand gesture with a dose of cold truth.

(여보세요?)
(여보세요?)
(하)
Yeah
Love is pain
Dedicated to all my brokenhearted people (love game) (listen)
One's old flame (yeah)
Just scream my name (damn)
And I'm so sick of love songs (love songs)
Yeah, I hate them, love songs (love songs)
Memento of ours
거짓말!
늦은 밤 비가 내려와 널 데려와
젖은 기억 끝에 뒤척여, 나
너 없이 잘 살 수 있다고
다짐해 봐도 어쩔 수 없다고
못하는 술도 마시고 (ah)
속 타는 맘 밤새 채워 봐도
싫어, 너 없는 하루는 길어
빌어, 제발 잊게 해 달라고 (거짓말야)
너 없는 내겐 웃음이 보이지 않아
눈물조차 고이지 않아
더는 살고 싶지 않아
Yeah, 엿같애
열받게
네 생각에 돌아 버릴 것 같애
보고 싶은데 볼 수가 없대, 모두 끝났대
I'll be right there
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
다 거짓말이야 (liar, liar)
몰랐어 (oh oh)
이제야 알았어
네가 필요해 (call me, girl)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
날카로운 말 (liar, liar)
홧김에 나도 모르게 (oh oh)
널 떠나보냈지만 (call me, girl)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
다 거짓말 (liar, liar)
I'm so sorry (sorry)
But I love you (I love you more more)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
나를 떠나 ( [?] )
천천히 잊어 줄래 (yeah)
내가 아파할 수 있게 (uh huh)
그댈 위해서 불러 왔던
내 모든 걸 다 바친 노래 (노래)
아마 사람들은 모르겠죠
난 혼자 그 아무도 아무도 몰래
그래, 내가 했던 말은 거짓말
홀로 남겨진 외톨이 (oh) (yeah)
그 속에 헤매는 내 꼴이 (yeah)
주머니 속에 꼬깃꼬깃 (oh)
접어 둔 이별을 향한 쪽지 (hey)
넌 어딨나요
널 부르는 습관도
난 달라질래 (널 위해)
이젠 다 웃어넘길게 (ho)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
다 거짓말이야 (liar, liar)
몰랐어 (oh oh)
이제야 알았어
네가 필요해 (call me, girl)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
날카로운 말 (liar, liar)
홧김에 나도 모르게 (oh oh)
널 떠나보냈지만 (call me, girl)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
다 거짓말 (liar, liar)
I'm so sorry (sorry)
But I love you (I love you more more)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
나를 떠나 ( [?] )
천천히 잊어 줄래 (yeah)
내가 아파할 수 있게 (uh huh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
모든 게 꿈이길
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
이것밖에 안 되는 나라서
(Drop that beat)
아직도 너를 못 잊어 (ah, ah, ah)
아니, 평생을 가도, 죽어서까지도, yeah
내가 준 상처 아물었는지 (ah, ah, ah)
미안해, 아무것도 해준 게 없는 나라서
I'm so sorry but I love you (hey) (oh oh)
다 거짓말이야 (다 거짓말) (liar, liar)
몰랐어 (oh oh)
이제야 알았어 (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
네가 필요해 (call me, girl)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
날카로운 말 (tell me something) (liar, liar)
홧김에 나도 모르게 (나도 모르게) (oh oh)
널 떠나보냈지만 (널 보냈지만) (call me, girl)
I'm so sorry but I love you (oh oh)
다 거짓말 (Sorry but I love you, oh) (liar, liar)
I'm so sorry (I'm sorry)
But I love you (I love you more more)
