Normal No More 独到 (Original Mix) - TYSM、高睿 Edit by Kain Records

I only want my own uniqueness

I don't want to flee in humility

I only want a genuine embrace

I don't want to pretend to be kind

I only want my own uniqueness

I don't want to drift in mediocrity

Promises of love are just a joke to some

But that's something I just can't do

Faded

Fleeing in humility

I don't want to pretend to be kind

Faded

Fleeing in humility

I don't want to pretend to be kind

Fate forces people to fall

Like a withered flower

Who is tired of struggling?

I'm giving my heart a long break

I'm sick of these clichéd pretenses

Every attempt feels wrong

Trying too hard is just in vain

A perfect path doesn't need to be emphasized

I only want my own uniqueness

I don't want to flee in humility

I only want a genuine embrace

I don't want to pretend to be kind

I only want my own uniqueness

I don't want to drift in mediocrity

Promises of love are just a joke to some

But that's something I just can't do

Faded

Fleeing in humility

I don't want to pretend to be kind

Faded

Fleeing in humility

I don't want to pretend to be kind

Enjoying a carefree, peaceful sleep

Being together is such a hassle

Meeting by fate

That smile I can never forget

I'm sick of these clichéd pretenses

Every attempt feels wrong

Trying too hard is just in vain

A perfect path doesn't need to be emphasized

I only want my own uniqueness

I don't want to flee in humility

I only want a genuine embrace

I don't want to pretend to be kind

I only want my own uniqueness

I don't want to drift in mediocrity

Promises of love are just a joke to some

But that's something I just can't do

Faded

Fleeing in humility

I don't want to pretend to be kind

Faded

Fleeing in humility

I don't want to pretend to be kind

Faded

Fleeing in humility

I don't want to pretend to be kind

Faded

I only want my own uniqueness

Normal No More 独到 (Original Mix) - TYSM、高睿 Edit by Kain Records

我只想要自我的独到

我不想要卑微的落逃

我只想要真实的拥抱

我不想要假装示好

我不想要平庸的轻飘

与谁相爱承诺是欢闹

在我这里无法做到

卑微的落逃

我不想要假装示好

受够装模样的俗套

这尝试一次都不好

太过证明不过徒劳

完美的路不必强调
