[English]

When did I start talking about that obsessive me, so foolish

Good friends try to help me, but can't fix this submarine me

They say rumination is bad, I should learn to let go

It's so strange, wild, igniting attitude, self-destructive fall

When can crying turn into shouting, calm down, I

Never had calmness, just throwing money, donating, does it help?

Once angry, letting pain run free, still feel it's wrong

So I paid the therapist, many classes to help me vent

Miss, how many storms, thorns, dangers in your life

Through rain and wind, brave and true beauty has risen

Is the true beauty awake? The trial of the universe tests me

Worries no longer hurt you, love’s true result, more romance

...

CPTSD, add OCD, my brain hemorrhaging, unstoppable

Those who need love too much, hit walls everywhere, garbage people, trauma

Who overestimates confidence, fake expressions too intentional

Youth stories, countless foolish decisions I can't undo

Miss, how many struggles, sorrows, desperation in your life

In my heart, at the most painful moment, suddenly clear

Is the true beauty awake? Make a wish, accept me

Worries no longer hurt you, love’s true result

Oh, loving wrongly, making mistakes, the worst roles, maliciously approaching me

Fears, worse things, anger, too many issues

Inner peace is all about what's inside of you

This real you now is coming through

From now on, I’ll live freely, causing more trouble as I go, it’s me

True sister, how many storms in her life, no need to worry much

As long as you believe, ah, true beauty, true beauty, we’ll get through

Want too much, life flashes by in a blink

Still keep in mind, that first true beauty

Still the most charming me

Kiki mami

You've got this

[Chinese]

從何時講起 那個偏執的我 那樣傻

良朋愛護我 也開解不了 似潛艇的我

常言 rumination 要不得 要看開的我

很怪 狂野點火姿態 自我折墮

何時哭能左 靠高歌尖叫 calm down 我

從無冷靜過 靠揮金 捐錢 有無幫助

曾憤怒放任痛楚 依然覺得很錯

So I paid the therapist 陪我紓解情緒很多課

小姐一生幾多風波 幾多荊棘 幾多險阻

風雨裡 勇敢嘅真美 又提升左

真美醒了麼 普宇宙試煉我

煩惱不再傷你 愛真美的結果 浪漫更多

CPTSD 添加啲 OCD 腦海出血 沒有止

誰太需要愛 就通處碰壁 垃圾人 traumady

誰過分要自信 假表情太過刻意

青春故事 無數不堪回顧的不智

小姐一生幾多風波 幾多辛酸 幾多淒楚

心裡一切 最悲痛之際 突然清楚

真美醒了麼 許個願接受我

煩惱不再傷你 愛真美的結果

Oh 愛錯了犯錯 最壞角色 惡意接近我

懼怕的 更壞事情 憤怒事情嫌多

Inner peace is all about what's inside of you

This real you now is coming through

以後以後 我就盡情 越活越惹禍 是我

真妹一生幾多風波 真妹一生不必心多

只要信 啊真美真美 就能經過

想要的太多 一生霎眼就過

仍要心裡緊記 那真美的最初

還是那個 最趣緻的我

Kiki mami

You've got this
