Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I'm just a kid at heart
I'm living to impress them
I wanna build a fort
Where I can hide, from everything forever
I don't know what I want
But I'm feeling all this pressure
I don't know where to go
But I know that eventually I'll get there
And there's a lot I'd like to run from
But running won't get me far
If I'm still stuck in my fear
Tried to be somebody I'm not
It's better to be no one
Than to be insincere
(I gotta shut it all out)
I keep myself opaque
I've always been this way
Cause I can't bear the weight
Of all your expectations
And if you box me in
Then I can't shed my skin
I've been attempting to refocus
Can't worry 'bout the little things they notice
It's my own way to find
Would she be proud of me
Or would she be disappointed
Like they all seem to be
What am I worth, if not thoroughly exploited
And there's a lot I'd like to run from
But running won't get me far
If I'm still stuck in my fear
Tried to be somebody I'm not
It's better to be no one
Than to be insincere
(I gotta shut it all out)
I keep myself opaque
I've always been this way
Cause I can't bear the weight
Of all your expectations
And if you box me in
Then I can't shed my skin
Oh your perception's
A hollow image
Still my substance
Reaches the surface
So I can't give you
What you wanted
A different person
A withered version
Of myself
Wanna be more than
An empty shell
