BTS English Lyrics

Shot Glass of Tears

[Chorus]
Tell me, am I ever gonna feel again?
Tell me, am I ever gonna heal again?
Got a shot glass full of tears
Drink, drink, drink, say, "Cheers"
I got all these diamonds runnin' down my face
And I ain't lettin' any of 'em go to waste
Got a shot glass full of tears

[Refrain]
She the life of the party
Forty-two in her body
She got some dangerous hobbies
Like chasin' after the sun, and makin' me fall in love

[Verse 1]
'Til I'm sick to my stomach
Until I throw back a dozen
Until I'm drivin' a hundred
With my hands off the wheel, just to see how it feels

[Chorus]
Tell me, am I ever gonna feel again?
Tell me, am I ever gonna heal again?
Got a shot glass full of tears
Drink, drink, drink, say, "Cheers"
I got all these diamonds runnin' down my face
And I ain't lettin' any of 'em go to waste
Got a shot glass full of tears
Drink, drink, drink, say, "Cheers"

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Drink, drink, drink, say, "Cheers"
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
It's a hard pill to swallow
This emotion, I bottle
Need somethin' strong for the sorrow
Somethin' strong for the pain
So, I can wash it away
I was cold, now, I'm freezin' (Cold, now, I'm freezin')
Stuck in a permanent season (Permanent season)
And we both know you're the reason (Know you're the reason)
I'm not the same as before, I don't feel anymore

[Chorus]
Tell me, am I ever gonna feel again?
Tell me, am I ever gonna heal again?
Got a shot glass full of tears
Drink, drink, drink, say, "Cheers"
I got all these diamonds runnin' down my face
And I ain't lettin' any of 'em go to waste
Got a shot glass full of tears
Drink, drink, drink, say, "Cheers"

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Drink, drink, drink, say, "Cheers"
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Refrain]
She the life of the party
Forty-two in her body
She got some dangerous hobbies
Like chasin' after the sun, and makin' me fall in love
