~다면서 vs ~다면 Lately I have been listening to the song 좋아 that 민서 sings. The first part of the song goes: 이제 괜찮니 너무 힘들었다며 너의 그 마무리가 고작 이별뿐일 거라 우린 괜찮다면서 I was wondering if someone could explain to me the usage difference between ~다면서 and ~다면. I know this is a SONG so it will be more poetic and less conversational, but I am a stickler and really want to understand the nuances behind everything :) 땡큐~

if u use ~다면, it has often used in this sentence structure.A~다면B the relationship between A and B is grammatically the subjunctive mood. for.example, 아침에 밥을 많이 먹었다면, 지금 배가 고프지 않을 텐데. (if I had eaten a lot in the morning, I wouldn't be hungry now.) but if u use ~다면서, it is usually used with opposed situation that compare present to the past. for example, 배고프다면서, 왜 많이 안먹어!!!or 아까는 예쁘다면서!!!(왜 지금은 별로라고 하는거야!!) 예전에는 맛있었다면서 왜 지금은 맛없다 그러냐 ㅡㅡ it is used like these in daily talk. additionally, in 민서's song, it means like 이별 전에는 괜찮다면서 왜 이제와서 그러냐... so sad..ㅠㅠ and i love this song tooㅎㅎ although my English skill is not perfect,i hope it would be helpful.
