오늘도 난 얼굴을 골라 입어

다들 좋아할 표정으로 cover

진짜 나는 안쪽에 접어 두고

맞는 척해, like I’m proper

눈치라는 교실에서 배운 rule

튀면 틀린 거라 적힌 manual

작은 말도 먼저 검열해

I cut my edges to look normal

괜찮냐는 말은 easy

기다리지 않는 answer

웃어주면 좋은 사람

무너지면 social danger

모두가 나를 보지만

아무도 나를 몰라

I smile like I’m okay

while I’m breaking lower

Perfectly broken

예쁘게 망가져 가

웃는 얼굴 뒤에

내가 없어져 가

Perfectly broken

they taught me how to hide

눈물은 안쪽에 묻고

I keep dying polite

잘 웃으면 good enough

울면 too much, out of line

세상은 날 고쳐 놓고

asks me why I lost my mind

기대는 항상 이름이 예뻐

사랑, 성공, 미래, dream

근데 내 목 위에 걸리면

그건 그냥 silent chain

착하면 쓰이고

솔직하면 불편해

아프다 말하면

분위기를 망친대

다 같이 같은 방향으로

무너지는 줄도 모르고

박수 소리에 묻혀버린

my small little funeral

언제부터였을까

내가 나를 미워한 게

칭찬받는 방법만 알고

사는 법은 잊은 게

모두가 말해 “be yourself”

then punish every difference

I learned to disappear

and called it independence

Perfectly broken

예쁘게 망가져 가

웃는 얼굴 뒤에

내가 없어져 가

Perfectly broken

they taught me how to hide

눈물은 안쪽에 묻고

I keep dying polite

웃으면 상품이 되고

울면 문제가 돼

너희가 만든 기준 속에

we are all afraid

잘 웃으면 good enough

울면 too much, out of line

세상은 날 부숴 놓고

asks me why I lost my mind

- ENGLISH LYCICS -

Today, once again, I pick out a face to wear

Covering myself with an expression everyone will like

I fold my true self away deep inside

And pretend to fit in, like I’m proper

It’s a rule I learned in the classroom of social cues

A manual stating that standing out means you’re wrong

I censor even my smallest words before I speak

I cut my edges to look normal

Asking "Are you okay?" is easy

It’s an answer they don’t actually wait for

If I smile, I’m a "good person"

But if I break down, I’m a "social danger"

Everyone looks right at me

Yet no one truly knows me

I smile like I’m okay

While I’m breaking lower

Perfectly broken

Falling apart, but doing it beautifully

Behind this smiling face

My true self is slowly fading away

Perfectly broken

They taught me how to hide

I bury my tears deep inside

And keep dying polite

If I smile well, I’m "good enough"

But if I cry, it’s "too much", out of line

The world fixes me up just the way it wants

Then asks me why I’ve lost my mind

Expectations always have such pretty names

Love, success, the future, dreams...

But once they’re hung around my neck

They become nothing more than a silent chain

If I’m kind, I get used

If I’m honest, I make people uncomfortable

And if I say that I’m hurting

They say I’m ruining the mood

We’re all heading in the same direction

Unaware that we’re all just breaking down together

Drowned out by the sound of applause

Lies my own small, little funeral

I wonder when it started?

When I began to hate myself?

When I learned only how to earn praise

But forgot how to actually live?

Everyone tells me, "Be yourself"

Then punishes every single difference

I learned to disappear completely

And called it independence

Perfectly broken

Falling apart, but doing it beautifully

Behind this smiling face

My true self is slowly fading away

Perfectly broken

They taught me how to hide

I bury my tears deep inside

And keep dying polite

If you smile, you become a product

If you cry, you become a problem

In the standards you made

we are all afraid

If you smile well, it's good enough

If you cry, it's too much, out of line

The world shatters me

and asks me why I lost my mind
