BEHIND THE LINE (선 밖에서)

Intro –  / soft Korean vocal]

조용히… (quietly…)
I learned to smile in silence…
but my heart never learned the rules

⸻

[Verse 1 – | calm, controlled, truth-heavy]

They drew a line, told me stay there
Act like I don’t see the stares there
“Be normal,” that’s what they say
But normal never felt this way

I shrink myself just to fit in
Hide the thoughts I keep within
But the more I try to be small
The more I feel I lose it all

They talk like they know my name
Like hearts are something you can tame
But I’ve been living between the spaces
Where truth don’t match their labels and faces

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – emotional build]

숨기려고 했어 (I tried to hide it)
내 목소릴 줄였어 (I lowered my voice)
But something in me keeps breaking free
Even when I lose my choice

⸻

[Chorus – VOCAL | powerful, soaring hook]

I just wanna be normal… but I don’t know how
Wanna be soft… but I’m standing right now
They say let go… but I hold on tight
Even when wrong feels like my right

I love in the spaces they told me to fear
Where timing and distance don’t feel so clear
If I’m not what they want me to be…
I’m still real… I’m still me

⸻

[Verse 2 – | faster, sharper tone]

They see surface, never depth though
Try to label what they don’t know
Different hearts, different pace
Still they judge what they can’t place

I stopped asking for approval
It was never mutual
They don’t live what I live
So I stopped what I give

I walk in silence, but I hear it all
Still I stand when they want me to fall
And love don’t ask for permission, no
It just grows where it’s meant to go

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – / emotional lift]

괜찮지 않아도 (even if I’m not okay)
I still breathe through the pain
Some things I can’t explain
But I still say your name

⸻

[Chorus – / bigger, layered harmonies]

I just wanna be normal… but I don’t know how
Wanna be strong… but I’m breaking right now
They say let go… but I still believe
In the way your heart fits next to me

I love in the spaces they try to erase
But I still remember every trace
If I’m too much for their design…
I’ll still call this heart of mine

⸻

[Bridge – emotional peak | soft + aching]

어디가 틀린 걸까… (where did I go wrong…)
Or did I just love too deep
They don’t see what I see in you
Or the promises we keep

Even if the world says “no”
My heart already said “go”

⸻

[Final Chorus – + adlibs + stadium feel]

I don’t wanna be normal… I just wanna be true
Even if they don’t understand what we do
I’ll carry this heart through the noise and the pain
Even if they never say my name

I love in the spaces they try to deny…
But I won’t apologize for the way I try

If I’m different… let me be
This is still love… let it breathe

⸻

[Outro – soft fade]

괜찮아… (it’s okay…)
Even if they don’t understand…
I still choose this heart
