(English) What It Really Means

To those who meet me in the eye...

Not because I look happy,

Not because I'm laughing,

Not because I said "I'm fine"...

Means I'm alright.

To those criticisms I received...

Not because I laughed it off,

Not because I ignored it,

Not because I said "I don't care"...

Means I'm not hurt.

I always tell myself "mind over matter"...

As long as I believe,

As long as I think about it,

As long as I tell myself "it doesn't matter,"

Means I will be alright.


But I guess I overestimated myself...

My suffering from sleepless nights,

My feeling of suffocation,

My heart aching from time-to-time,

Means my resolve is starting to waver.


To those who I love...

My long silence,

My solo fight,

And my goodbye,

Means I really do cherish you.


So, I'm sorry for breaking the ice...

Sorry for being weak,

Sorry for trying not to make you worry,

But I need to tell you this,

Even if it means, you'll be hating me.


Farewell.
