Sadness Lyrics English Translation by YUQI
I got used to saying it’s not bad
Learned to be gentle with everyone
Acting like I’m carefree and not fragile
I tried hard too
Wanted to break all the rules
But didn’t know what for
Those unspoken pains
Keep tugging back and forth late at night
Turns out I’ve been losing all along
I realized I’m not happy
I realized I’m pretending to be happy
I realized I’ve forced so many smiles
Turns out this world has no right or wrong
Turns out people all forget
Forget the color they originally liked
Everyone’s posting good weather on their feed
I keep pressing pause on the song over and over
Voices around me scold me to become this and that version of me
Later I slowly folded my regrets into paper cranes
Secretly dropped them into that river no one passes by
I can’t let go, that song I wrote for myself
I realized I’m not happy
I realized I’m pretending to be happy
I realized I’ve forced so many smiles
Turns out this world has no right or wrong
Turns out people all forget
Forget the color they originally liked
You’re not happy
You’re not happy
All the answers in your heart got missed
You’re not happy
Want me to pretend
A happiness I don’t understand
Only left
Those unspoken pains
Keep tugging back and forth late at night
Turns out I’ve been losing all along
I realized I’m not happy
I realized I’m pretending to be happy
I realized I’ve forced so many smiles
Turns out this world has no right or wrong
Turns out people all forget
Forget the color they originally liked
