Lyrics, Cara Baca & English Translation
애써서 활짝 웃었던 날에 밤은 왜 더 어두울까?
ae-sseo-seo hwal-jjak us-eoss-deon nal-e bam-eun wae deo eo-du-ul-kka?
It keeps bringing me down, down, down
Hmm, 모두 너무 쉽게 내뱉던 말 아마 들리겠지 머지않아
Hmm, mo-du neo-mu swip-ge nae-baet-deon mal a-ma deul-ri-gess-ji meo-ji-an-a
I've heard enough, I've heard enough of the things that I'm not
온 세상이 바뀌어가도, 아직 나는 그대론 걸
on se-sang-i ba-kkwi-eo-ga-do, a-jik na-neun geu-dae-ron geol
내가 걸어가는 이 길을 꿈꾸던
nae-ga geol-eo-ga-neun i gil-eul kkum-kku-deon
그때 그대로, 그때 그대로, 내 매일을 춤추던
geu-ttae geu-dae-ro, geu-ttae geu-dae-ro, nae mae-il-eul chum-chu-deon
처음 그 자리에 남아 있는 걸
cheo-eum geu ja-ri-e nam-a iss-neun geol
But you'll never know unless you walk in my shoes
You'll never know 엉켜버린 내 끈
You'll never know eong-kyeo-beo-rin nae kkeun
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
It's easier to judge me than to believe
깊이 숨겼던 낡은 생각들
gip-i sum-gyeoss-deon nal-eun saeng-gak-deul
가끔 나를 잡고 괴롭히지만
ga-kkeum na-reul jap-go goe-rop-hi-ji-man
그럴수록, I'ma shine, baby
geu-reol-su-rok, I'ma shine, baby
You know they ain't got a shot on me
Sunday night, I've been swallowed by my bed
I've been all over my head, wonderin' if I gotta try and pretend
나도 잘 모르는 날 누가 알아주길 기대하는
na-do jal mo-reu-neun nal nu-ga al-a-ju-gil gi-dae-ha-neun
내 모습을 찾을까 두려워
nae mo-seup-eul chat-eul-kka du-ryeo-wo
저 빛이 더 밝아질수록, 내 그림자도 길어지는데
jeo bit-i deo bal-a-jil-su-rok, nae geu-rim-ja-do gil-eo-ji-neun-de
너무 눈이 부셔올 때, 난 뒤를 볼 수 있을까?
neo-mu nun-i bu-syeo-ol ttae, nan dwi-reul bol su iss-eul-kka?
온 세상이 바뀌어가도, 아직 나는 그대론 걸
on se-sang-i ba-kkwi-eo-ga-do, a-jik na-neun geu-dae-ron geol
내가 걸어가는 이 길을 꿈꾸던
nae-ga geol-eo-ga-neun i gil-eul kkum-kku-deon

그럴수록, I'ma shine, baby
geu-reol-su-rok, I'ma shine, baby
You know they ain't got a shot on me
가라앉으면 안 돼, 나도 잘 알아
ga-ra-an-eu-myeon an dwae, na-do jal al-a
땅만 보는 채론 날 수 없어
ttang-man bo-neun chae-ron nal su eop-eo
구름 건너편엔 아직 밝은 해
gu-reum geon-neo-pyeon-en a-jik bal-eun hae
내가 그려왔던 그림 속에
nae-ga geu-ryeo-wass-deon geu-rim sok-e
찢어버린 곳들까지
jjit-eo-beo-rin gos-deul-kka-ji
다 비워내고 웃을 수 있게
da bi-wo-nae-go us-eul su iss-ge
보기 싫었던 나와 마주할래, eh
bo-gi sil-eoss-deon na-wa ma-ju-hal-rae, eh
난 기억해, so I'll be okay
nan gi-eok-hae, so I'll be okay
파란 내 방 한가득 꽃이 피게
pa-ran nae bang han-ga-deuk kkot-i pi-ge
I'll always be waiting
But you'll never know unless you walk in my shoes
You'll never know 엉켜버린 내 끈
You'll never know eong-kyeo-beo-rin nae kkeun
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
It's easier to judge me than to believe
깊이 숨겼던 낡은 생각들
gip-i sum-gyeoss-deon nal-eun saeng-gak-deul
가끔 나를 잡고 괴롭히지만
ga-kkeum na-reul jap-go goe-rop-hi-ji-man
