Lyrics

Verse

They love me best when I don’t speak

When I smile soft and stay petite

Every move is under glass

Every flaw becomes my past

Zoom in close, dissect my face

Measure worth in likes and praise

If I breathe the wrong way now

Headlines scream it way too loud

Pre-chorus

I learned to bend, I learned to break

Just to be the girl they’d take

Paint my tears in glitter gold

So the cracks don’t show

Chorus

Say it louder, tear me down

Write your truth without a sound

You don’t see the weight I hold

Behind this perfect frame

Every word you throw at me

Builds a cage I cannot leave

숨이 막혀와

(It’s hard to breathe)

But I’m more than what you say

I’m more than your display

I’m not your perfect dream

I’m still human underneath

Verse

Diet dreams and sleepless nights

Trading hunger for the lights

괜찮은 척 또 웃어

(I pretend I’m okay again)

If I rest, I fall behind

So I silence my own mind

Laugh on cue, cry off stage

Memorize another face

Even silence feels too loud

When your worth depends on crowds

Pre-chorus

I became what they designed

A reflection, not a life

진짜 나는 어디에

(Where is the real me?)

But the mirror’s cracking slow

And the truth is close

Chorus

Say it louder, tear me down

Write your truth without a sound

You don’t see the weight I hold

Behind this perfect frame

Every word you throw at me

Builds a cage I cannot leave

날 가두지 마

(Don’t trap me)

But I’m more than what you say

I’m more than your display

I’m not your perfect dream

I’m still human underneath

Bridge

I’m tired of shrinking just to fit

Tired of choking on your scripts

이건 내가 아냐

(This isn’t me)

I gave my voice to your demands

Now I’m taking back my hands

무너지지 않아

(I won’t collapse)

Chorus

Say it louder if you must

Turn my pain into your buzz

I won’t break for your applause

Or bend into your mold

이젠 멈출래

(I’m stopping now)

I’m stepping out the frame tonight

Leaving all your perfect lies

I don’t need your validation

To survive

난 나로 살래

(I’ll live as myself)

I’m not your flawless queen

I’m still breathing in between

And I’m stronger

Than the girl you want to see
