Editor's note
J Min's Sorry, a plea to stay close
A K-Pop ballad where the singer can't bring herself to say what she needs to.
Uso demo ii sore demo ii kara
It's what you say when you can't admit you're scared to be alone. The whole thing turns an apology into a request to stay.
When she sings 'Don't love me, don't believe me / Kirai demo ii sore demo ii kara,' it's not really permission to hate her. It's more like she's so afraid of being a burden that she'd rather you feel anything than nothing. The words 'sore demo ii', even that is fine, sound like someone trying to make peace with being unlovable, just to keep you nearby.
Even a lie is fine, even that is fine, it's the sound of someone choosing any version of you over none. She'd rather have a dishonest closeness than an honest goodbye.
The way 'soba ni ite yo', stay by my side, keeps coming back, quieter each time, like she's running out of ways to ask.

Miageta soro doko mademo aokute
Kowai kurai harewataru no
Kimi no egao, mitai ni kirei setsunaku naru
I’m sorry kimi ni tsutaenakucha
Ikenai kotoba ga aru
Don’t love me, don’t believe me
Kirai demo ii sore demo ii kara
Ikanai de yo soba ni ite yo
Owari nado nai doko mademo tsudzuku mo
Ikidomari no kokoro shikatte
Kimi no koee ga kikoete kuru tabi
Aruki daseru
I’m sorry kimi ni todokenakucha
Ikenai omoi ga aru
Don’t ask me don’t tell me
Yowamushi de dou shiyou mo nai no wo
I love you sorry soba ni ite yo
Sagashite ita mezashite ita no wa

Tell me now tell me now tell me now baby
I’m sorry kimi ni
Nani hitotsu age rareru mono ga nai no
Don’t love me don’t believe me
Uso demo ii sore demo ii kara
I love you sorry, soba ni ite yo
Soba ni ite yo
