[Verse 1 — Fragile, Bare Piano]
햇살 속에서 피어나려 했는데.
넌 한 번도 날 보지 않았어.
I reached for your hands a thousand nights.
But you were busy chasing other fights.
깊은 상처는 봤지만,
내 눈물은 보지 못했지.
식탁 위에 앉은 유령처럼,
사랑을 기다렸어…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — Strings Enter]
희생이라 말했지, 사랑이라 했지.
But I was invisible standing there.
괜찮다 말만 반복했어.
Because you never thought to ask…
⸻
[Chorus — First Emotional Hit]
Why couldn’t I live inside my mother’s eyes?
왜 난 네 그림자 속에 남겨졌을까?
I screamed in silence, begged for a sign…
But your love was never,
And I’ll never know the reason why…
I couldn’t live inside my mother’s eyes.
⸻
[Verse 2 — More Emotion, Voice Cracks]
부서진 마음을 감추려 했어.
네 어깨 위의 짐이 될까 봐.
But in the quiet, it hollowed me,
A child unloved is a wound that bleeds.
이젠 어른이 되었지만.
아픔은 여전히 남아.
단 한 번만 “내 딸”이라 불러줘.
그 말이 전부였어.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — Stronger Vocals]
희생이라 말했지, 사랑이라 했지.
But I was invisible standing there.
괜찮다 말만 반복했어.
Because you never thought to ask.
⸻
[Chorus — Bigger, Strings + Drums Swell]
Why couldn’t I live inside my mother’s eyes?
왜 난 네 그림자 속에 남겨졌을까.
I screamed in silence, begged for a sign,
But your love was never mine.
And I’ll never know the reason why…
I couldn’t live inside my mother’s eyes.
⸻
[Bridge — Quiet, Almost a Whisper]
Maybe you loved me in your own way,
But love I can’t feel still slips away.
난 의무 말고 사랑이 필요했어.
I needed shelter from the rain.
⸻
[Final Chorus — Cinematic, Powerhouse Belting]
Why couldn’t I live inside my mother’s eyes?
왜 난 네 그림자 속에 남겨졌을까
I screamed in silence, begged for a sign.
But your love was never mine..
And I’ll never know the reason why…
I couldn’t live inside my mother’s eyes.
⸻
[Outro — Soft, Whispered Over Piano]
난 그저 아이였어…
Wanting to be seen.
