Lyrics
Original lyrics (English)[6]
I was a real coward I couldn’t get on well with others and couldn’t stand tall in front of those people who were staring at me
I was trying my hardest Tie my hair up in a ponytail Put on red necklace that has scars like I have Facing the microphone, away from the camera
I imagine my room turning into a dome in the blink of an eye in the blink of an eye I imagine the silence turning into a roar in the blink of an eye in the blink of an eye I can feel you
No room to spread a smile No room to make eye contact But I believed one day my voice would console your soul
I never owned these songs really I never owned these stories really But I counted on One day my old days would become my song
I imagine my room turning into a dome in the blink of an eye in the blink of an eye I imagine the silence turning into a roar in the blink of an eye in the blink of an eye I can feel you
