All night, all night

Going too fast under

City lights

Between your words

The hidden meanings

I'm so curious

I know, I know

That curiosity

Can be dangerous

The mixed signals

Slowly, my sense of self

Is fading away

So I just tried

Any way I could

To hide myself

Get out of my mind

So I can finally

Be myself again

Don't hold me back

I'm done

Pack your butterflies

Stop making up

Empty excuses

You ain't by my side

Need the highs

Baby, I don't want

The lows

Or a lullaby

I don't need

Anyone to lean on anymore

When you

Hold me tight

You should know I

You should know I

Don't need your

Maybe's

All of your lies

I know that

You tryna hurt me

And want some more

I'm not falling for it anymore

Fly away from you

And that's

My Camouflage

My Camouflage

So much

Trash on my phone

Without hesitation

I'll probably delete it

That distorted expression

It's not lingering regret

It's just hard to see it

I know, I know

That it was wrong from the start

I'm not on

That no more

Stopping right here

To make it better

Close my eyes

And turn away

So I can't see you anymore

And I, I'm alive

Tonight

Now I'm letting you go

Don't hold me back

I'm done

Pack your butterflies

Stop making up

Empty excuses

You ain't by my side

Need the highs

Baby, I don't want

The lows

Or a lullaby

I don't need

Anyone to lean on anymore

When you

Hold me tight

You should know I

You should know I

Don't need your

Maybe's

All of your lies

I know that you

Tryna hurt me

And want some more

I'm not falling for it anymore

Fly away from you

And that's

My Camouflage

My Camouflage

I needed someone

To save me

From those endless nights

And those eyes that lost their light

Don't you think I've

Had enough

Had enough

Had enough

Just watch me

Where I'm going now

Don't hold me back

I'm done

Pack your butterflies

Leave all this

Empty heart behind

And fly far away

Need the highs

Baby, I don't want

The lows

Or a lullaby

The person I was

Back then is gone

You know what I mean?

You should know I

You should know I

Don't need your

Maybe's

All of your lies

I know that you

Tryna hurt me

And want some more

I'm not falling for it anymore

Fly away from you

And that's

My Camouflage

My Camouflage

All night, all night

Going too fast under

City lights

너의 말 그 사이

숨겨진 뜻이

난 궁금해서

I know, I know

호기심은

위험하단 걸

The mixed signals

점점 내 모습이

희미해져

So I just tried

어떻게든

날 감출 수 있게

Get out of my mind

나로 다시

돌아갈 수 있게

Don't hold me back

I'm done

Pack your butterflies

텅 빈 말 더는

늘어놓지 말고

You ain't by my side

Need the highs

Baby, I don't want

The lows

Or a lullaby

더 이상 기댈 곳은

필요 없어

When you

Hold me tight

You should know I

You should know I

Don't need your

Maybe's

All of your lies

I know that

You tryna hurt me

And want some more

더 속아줄 생각 없지

네게서 Fly

And that's

My Camouflage

My Camouflage

So much

Trash on my phone

주저 없이 다

Probably delete it

일그러진 표정

미련이 아냐

그저 Hard to see it

I know, I know

처음부터 잘못됐단 걸

I'm not on

That no more

이쯤에 멈춰서

Make it better

Close my eyes

뒤돌아서

너를 볼 수 없게

And I, I'm alive

Tonight

이제 너를 놓아줄게

Don't hold me back

I'm done

Pack your butterflies

텅 빈 말 더는

늘어놓지 말고

You ain't by my side

Need the highs

Baby, I don't want

The lows

Or a lullaby

더 이상 기댈 곳은

필요 없어

When you

Hold me tight

You should know I

You should know I

Don't need your

Maybe's

I know that you

Tryna hurt me

And want some more

더 속아줄 생각 없지

네게서 Fly

And that's

My Camouflage

My Camouflage

I needed someone

To save me

끝나지 않던 밤들과

빛을 잃어버린 그 눈빛

Don't you think I've

Had enough

Had enough

Had enough

Just watch me where

I'm going now

Don't hold me back

I'm done

Pack your butterflies

텅 빈 맘

전부 여기 남겨두고

멀리 날아가

Need the highs

Baby, I don't want

The lows

Or a lullaby

이제 그때의

나는 없을 거야

You know what I mean?

You should know I

You should know I

Don't need your

Maybe's

All of your lies

I know that you

Tryna hurt me

And want some more

더 속아줄 생각 없지

네게서 Fly

And that's
