[English]

You're pushing me away, yeah

I'm falling apart inside

If I'm not perfect, yeah

Are you saying I'm not good enough?

When I look in the mirror, it feels like it's not even me, a different style

There's no end, no finish line in my heart

It's becoming a scar that won't fade

And I'm losing myself

I'm going insane

To these awful words

I can't even say a thing

No one can break me

Don’t even try to test me

I'm always trying to tell the truth

I'm so furious

Oh woah

Embracing my wounds, RISING UP

Suppressing my tears, BURNING UP

Ooh (Break the enemy)

Ooh (Break the enemy)

No matter how much I struggle

I won't let it end

Ooh

I won't run away

Do I even matter to you?

Your gaze pierces through me

I can't breathe

They expect a new scene from me

You pressure me every second, every day, every moment

And I want to shatter this confining frame

Even the flowers can't bloom without swaying, I know

I'll endure it my way and glow

So I'm gonna be

What everyone wants to be

(Let me break it, break it down, my enemy)

You call me crazy

These days are chaotic

I don't need the noise

No one can break me

Don't try to test me

I'm trying to never, ever give up

I'm so furious

Oh woah

Embracing my wounds, RISING UP

Suppressing my tears, BURNING UP

Ooh (Break the enemy)

Ooh (Break the enemy)

No matter how much I struggle

I won't let it end

Ooh

I won't run away

(Now I know, I have the key)

I don't want to see myself cry

(Keep it in my heart eternally)

On and on and on, I try

My fears and weaknesses

Erase them, Stop, just trust me

Baby, I'm done

Breaking me free, oh

Embracing my wounds, RISING UP

Suppressing my tears, BURNING UP

Ooh (Break the enemy)

Ooh (Break the enemy)

No matter how much I struggle

I won't let it end

Ooh

I won't run away

[Japanese]

You're pushing me away Ay-yeah

I'm a mess inside

完璧じゃなきゃ Ay-yeah

ダメだと言うの？

鏡の中、覗けば私じゃないような Style

先が無い終わりも無い In my heart

消えない痣になる

And I'm gonna be losing me

I'm going crazy

酷い Words に

何も言えなくなって

No one can break me

Don’t try to test me

I'm tryna always tell the truth

I'm so mad

Oh woah

傷を抱いて RISING UP

涙潰し BURNING UP

Ooh (Break the enemy)

Ooh (Break the enemy)

No matter how hard I go through it

終わりにしないように

Ooh

私は逃げない

Caring 'bout your status?

刺さるの視線

息できない

新しい Scene を期待され

Press me every second every day and every moment

And I wanna shatter 囲んだ frame

花さえ揺れずに咲けない I know

私のやりかたで耐えて Glow

So I'm gonna be

Everyone's wannabe

(Let me break it break it down my enemy)

You call me crazy

荒れる日々

雑音はいらないわ

No one can break me

Don't try to test me

I'm tryna never ever give up

I'm so mad

Oh woah

傷を抱いて RISING UP

涙潰し BURNING UP

Ooh (Break the enemy)

Ooh (Break the enemy)

No matter how hard I go through it

終わりにしないように

Ooh

私は逃げない

(Now I know, I have the key)

I don't wanna see me cry

(Keep it my heart eternally)

On and on and on I try

怖さも弱さも

消して Stop, Just trust me

Baby I'm done

Breaking me free oh

傷を抱いて RISING UP

涙潰し BURNING UP

Ooh (Break the enemy)

Ooh (Break the enemy)

No matter how hard I go through it

終わりにしないように

Ooh

私は逃げない
