HOME IN THE DARK

I learned to smile like armour, learned to breathe like theft

검은 밤에 내 이름을 접어, 주머니에 숨겼어

If love was a doorway, I stood outside it, left

Pretending I didn’t want it, pretending I was “sure”

I’ve been running from the thunder in my chest

Every truth I held too tightly, every breath I second-guessed

Tried to be the “perfect” version, tried to pass every test

But the mirror saw me splinter, step by step by step

Then you found me in the wreckage I kept under lock and key

Didn’t ask me to be louder, just stayed close and let me breathe

너는 내 침묵을 안고 “괜찮아”라고 말해

Like my heart was something human, not a rumour, not a shame

They warned me love would ruin me, make a spectacle of scars

They said keep it clean, keep it quiet, keep it out of bars

said boys like me don’t deserve to love

그래도 너의 목소리만은 나를 살게 해

So I’ll meet you in the dark, where the truth lives in our hands

Where the world can’t pull us under, where I finally get to stand

If the sky breaks into pieces, I’ll still want you where you are

‘Cause I’ve been lost in every place except the place you are

And if loving you is dangerous, I’ll take the fire, the sparks

너는 내가 찾은 집이야, my home in the dark

Every whisper feels like warning, every headline feels like flame

I’ve been painted as a question, like a fault without a name

But you touch me like I’m real, not a story to explain

And I feel sunlight in my ribs when you say my name

I’ve been scared of being open, scared of choosing my own skin

Built a hundred walls of “logic” just to keep the soft part in

너는 벽을 부수지 않아, 그냥 문을 열어줘

And somehow that is braver than a storm kicking the door

They said the things we love can cost too much

Said a boy like me should never ask for touch

But you call my name and I feel enough

처음으로 나도 나를 믿어

So I’ll meet you in the dark, where the truth lives in our hands

Where the fear becomes a whisper and your voice says who I am

If the sky breaks into pieces, I won’t run, I’ll make my stand

‘Cause you taught my shaking heartbeat how to hold a steady hand

And if loving you is dangerous, I’ll wear the smoke, the scars

너는 내가 선택한 빛이야, my home in the dark

Let them twist what they see, let them call it forbidden

I’ve been drowning in their echo, but you pulled me out to living

세상이 등을 돌려도, 난 너를 놓지 않아

If they wage their quiet wars, we’ll still be warm in the dark

You’re the place I stop the running

You’re the quiet after sparks

If the world forgets my name

I’ll still find you—

in the dark
