The Meaning Behind Wonho's New Song Will Give You Flashbacks To A Bad Relationship
Five months after dropping his debut EP, Love Synonym Pt.1: Right for Me, which featured hits like "Losing You" and "Open Mind," in September 2020, Wonho has now returned with his sophomore mini album, Love Synonym Pt.2: Right for Us. The six-track record is led by the upbeat lead single "Lose." The star gave fans a preview of the song with a teaser showing him experiencing heartbreak. Fans wondering what Wonho's "Lose" lyrics mean in English should know the message behind the single is just as emotional.
Wonho revealed some of the lyrics when he dropped his official album preview on Tuesday, Feb. 23. In the video, Wonho can be heard singing in English, "Don't wanna talk. Don't want fight. Don't wanna play. I can't get over you," before seamlessly transitioning into Korean. From these lyrics alone, fans could tell "Lose" was going to be about the ups and downs of a relationship.
Now that "Lose" is officially here, fans realize they were right. The music video shows Wonho dealing with his mixed feelings over someone. In one scene, he's seen sitting alone at a table with a drink in hand, and in another, he's chained and trying to break free, which seems to express his feelings about feeling trapped in his relationship.

"'Cause baby, in your game of love/ I know I'm gonna lose," he sings. He compares his experience to being in a maze because the other person is always going back and forth with their feelings, leaving him confused about what to feel, too. The lyrics hit hard if you've ever gone through a similar experience.

Verse 1
Lately been thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
Thinking 'bout all of the crazy
25, 25/7 I'm trying to save me
You going out, going out, going out trying to stain me
What you playing?
Pre-Chorus
I'm stuck in the middle of your maze
But you love to keep the chase, oh why?
Are you standing six feet from my place?
Only one thing left to say to ya
Chorus
Don't wanna talk
Don't wanna fight
Don't wanna play
I can't get over you
just wanna watch you leave tonight
It's something I can't do
'Cause baby, in your game of love
I know I'm gonna lose
Verse 2
Hopeless
I'm moving on, moving on, moving on still feeling hopeless
I'm running my, running my mouth but I'm losing my focus
I'm going out, going out, going out dreading the morning
and you keep on calling
Pre-Chorus
I'm stuck in the middle of your maze
But you love to keep the chase, oh why?
Are you standing six feet from my place?
Only one thing left to say to ya
Chorus
Don't wanna talk
don't wanna fight
don't wanna play
I can't get over you
Just wanna watch you leave tonight
It's something I can't do
'Cause baby, in your game of love
I know I'm gonna lose
Don't wanna fight
Don't wanna play
I can't get over you
just wanna watch you leave tonight
It's something I can't do
'Cause baby, in your game of love
I know I'm gonna lose
I'm stuck in the middle of your maze
But you love to keep the chase, oh why?
Are you standing six feet from my place?
Only one thing left to say to ya
Don't wanna talk
Bon't wanna fight
Bon't wanna play
I can't get over you
Just wanna watch you leave tonight
It's something I can't do
'Cause baby, in your game of love
I know I'm gonna lose
Don't wanna fight
Don't wanna play
I can't get over you
Just wanna watch you leave tonight
It's something I can't do
'Cause baby, in your game of love
I know I'm gonna lose
