Lyrics

Intro

Sour to sweet, oh-oh (ha)

Sour to sweet, yeah-yeah (ah)

Verse

I used to wear a careful face, like lemon on my tongue

Tasted every yes till my own voice came undone

Polished up the edges, fit the picture, played the part

Learned the lines but lost the color of my heart

People said be gentle, be quiet, you’ll be fine

But I kept swallowing pieces of my own design

Late nights tracing names that weren’t my name to keep

Woke up with a hollow cup and tasted something cheap

Pre-chorus

But there’s a fizz, a little spark beneath the skin (ooh)

A crooked grin that’s itching, telling me begin (yeah)

So I let the sugar drift, let the sour slip away

A tiny revolution starts with what I say

Chorus

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (sour to sweet)

Turn the bitter into something I can keep (I keep)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (ta-ta-touch)

Now I’m louder, now I’m softer, now I’m me (now I’m me)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (oh-oh)

이제 난 나야, I’m finally free (I’m free)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (yeah-yeah)

Taste my name, taste my truth, taste what I believe (ah)

Verse

Found a mirror that didn’t ask for permission

Wore my scars like jewelry, color in collision

Stood in rooms where silence taught me how to shrink

Broke the quiet like a chorus — watch me blink

I’ll keep my spice, my stubborn little staccato laugh

Mix the bitter with the bright, make a brand new half

Friends who knew the old me, they blink and then they grin

Because the story finally starts where I begin

Pre-chorus

There’s a hum, a simple drum under my skin (ooh)

It beats my handmade rhythm — calling me to win (yeah)

So I pull the rind away, let sunlight in the seams

I’m learning how to live inside my honest dreams

Chorus

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (sour to sweet)

Turn the bitter into something I can keep (I keep)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (ta-ta-touch)

Now I’m louder, now I’m softer, now I’m me (now I’m me)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (oh-oh)

이제 난 나야, I’m finally free (I’m free)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (yeah-yeah)

Taste my name, taste my truth, taste what I believe (ah)

Bridge

I used to hide behind a careful smile (uh-huh)

Now I’m stepping out, I’ll stay a little wild (hey)

Don’t need perfect pages, don’t need anyone to edit me

I’ll sing my little flaws until they sound like harmony (oh)

Sour to sweet (sour to sweet), ah-ah-ah, ta-ta-touch

Sour to sweet (sour to sweet), yeah-yeah, I’m enough

Chorus

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (sour to sweet)

Turn the bitter into something I can keep (I keep)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (ta-ta-touch)

Now I’m louder, now I’m softer, now I’m me (now I’m me)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (oh-oh)

이제 난 나야, I’m finally free (I’m free)

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (yeah-yeah)

Taste my name, taste my truth, taste what I believe (ah)

Chorus

Sour to sweet, sour to sweet (sour to sweet)

Turn the bitter into something I can keep
