Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I wanna live my life like yesterday

Never feeling down, never feeling down

Woke up to another new day

Something has changed, don’t feel the same

Alone, hearing voices in my head

Thought I had it all, but it feels like nobody cares, nobody cares

In a Tiffany dress, step out of the white car

Walk the red carpet, flashes bursting bright

All the world’s attention, countless fans

Yeah, I’m full from all this love

This is the life I’ve always dreamed of

And the life where my dreams have vanished

How much more greatness do I need to have?

To be happy? It’s a curious night

Love and fame, it seems to be enough

When the truth is not that beautiful

Tears and pain are things I’ve never shown

No one knows, no one knows, no one knows

They think I’m okay, think I’m okay

I wanna live my life like yesterday

Never feeling down, never feeling down

In the clouds, just stay there every day

Never coming down, never coming down

Life has ups and downs, just realized

Nothing lasts forever, yeah

One day, if I fall, would you smile

And say you’ll be there for me?

I’ve been lying awake these days

Can’t get away, everyone changes

Every time you smile, aren’t you pretending?

I ask myself every night and realize things won’t be the same, won’t be the same

Love and fame, it seems to be enough

When the truth is not that beautiful

Tears and pain are things I’ve never shown

No one knows, no one knows, no one knows

That I’m not okay, I’m not okay

I wanna live my life like yesterday

Never feeling down, never feeling down

In the clouds, just stay there every day

Never coming down, never coming down

Life has ups and downs, it’s alright

Nothing lasts forever, yeah

One day I will fall, can’t deny

But I know you won’t leave

I wanna live my life like yesterday

Never feeling down, never feeling down

In the clouds, just stay there every day

Never coming down, never coming down

...

[Korean]

Wanna live my life like yesterday

Never feeling down, never feeling down

Woke up in another new day

Something has changed, don't feel the same

Alone, hearing voices in my head

Thought that I had it all, but it feels like nobody cares, nobody cares

In a Tiffany dress, get off from white 벤

Walk the red carpet, 밝게 터지는 flash

모든 세상의 관심, 수많은 fans

그래, 사랑에 배가 부른 거지

매일 꿈꾸던 삶이야

그리고 꿈이 없어진 삶이야

대체 얼마나 대단한 걸 더 가져야?

행복할까? 궁금한 밤이야

Love and fame, it seems to be enough

When the truth is not that beautiful

Tears and pain are things I've never shown

No one knows, no one knows, no one knows

They think I'm okay, think I'm okay

Wanna live my life like yesterday

Never feeling down, never feeling down

In the clouds, just stay there everyday

Never coming down, never coming down

Life has ups and downs, just realized

Nothing lasts forever, yeah

One day, if I fall, would you smile

And say you'll be there for me?

I've been lying awake these days

Can't get away, everyone changes

Every time you smile, don't you pretend

Ask myself every night and realize things won't be the same, won't be the same

Love and fame, it seems to be enough

When the truth is not that beautiful

Tears and pain are things I've never shown

No one knows, no one knows, no one knows

That I'm not okay, I'm not okay

Wanna live my life like yesterday

Never feeling down, never feeling down

In the clouds, just stay there everyday

Never coming down, never coming down

Life has ups and downs, it's alright

Nothing lasts forever, yeah

One day I will fall, can't deny

But I know you won't leave

Wanna live my life like yesterday

Never feeling down, never feeling down

In the clouds, just stay there everyday

Never coming down, never coming down
