V's “Love Me Again” is about someone still aching after a breakup, hoping the person who left will come back and love him once more. He lingers on lost memories and wonders where that person is and what they're doing, even as he pretends to be fine and then admits it was a lie. The mood is a quiet, repeated longing, tender and a little desperate.

Word for word: Memories also without meaning to-me you disappear and
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 추억 is 'memories' and 도 is 'also', so together 'even memories'. 내게 alone is 'to me', but here it means 'out of my life, on me'. 넌 sets 'you' as the topic, and the -고 ending leaves the sentence hanging like a sigh.
Yeah 그래 나 솔직하게 다 말할래Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): Yeah geu·rae na sol·ji·ka·ge da ma·ral·lae
Meaning: Yeah, okay, I'll tell you everything honestly
Words in this line- 그래geu·raeokay

- 솔직하게sol·ji·ka·gehonestly
- 다daall
- 말할래ma·ral·laeI'll say
Word for word: Yeah, so, I honestly everything will-say
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 그래 alone means 'that's so', but here it is 'fine, okay'. 솔직하게 is 'honestly' and 다 is 'all'. The ending -ㄹ래 carries the speaker's own resolve or wish, a nuance a plain future tense lacks.

- 괜찮니gwaen·chan·niare you okay
Word for word: Only me constantly like-this is-it? Next to me other person okay?
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 나만 is 'only me', 자꾸 is 'keep on', and 건지 turns the line into a question to oneself. 딴 사람 literally means 'another person', but with 괜찮니 ('are you okay?') it sounds jealous. 내 옆에 'beside me' hints the spot used to be mine.
몇 번씩이나 뭘 하는지 널 생각해?Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): myeot beon·ssi·gi·na mwol ha·neun·ji neol saeng·ga·kae?
Meaning: How many times do I think of you, wondering what you're doing?

- 번씩이나beon·ssi·gi·natime after time
- 뭘mwolwhat
- 하는지ha·neun·jiwhether doing
- 널neolyou
- 생각해?saeng·ga·kae?think of
Word for word: How many times what doing whether you think?
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 몇 번 means 'how many times' and -씩이나 adds 'as many as'. 하는지 turns 'what you do' into an embedded question, and 생각해 means 'think of'. Together it feels like 'I think of you so often, wondering what you're up to'.
