배역 (Role) – 한동근 (Han Donggeun)

"I must smile through it," leaving behind just those words
I greet the stranger reflected in the mirror
Putting on the clothes called "being an adult"
Hiding my scarred self
I push myself out into this noisy world

I am hurting like this, yet you all are laughing
Watching me collapse, you are all cheering
Is this my given role?
Is this what happiness really is?
In truth, I am not happy at all
What should I do with a self like this?

After spending a exhausting day, I came back home
And everyone tells me that I’m doing just fine
But honestly, I’m hurting more than anyone else right now
I guess these feelings will never reach anyone

I am hurting like this, yet you all are laughing
Watching me collapse, you are all cheering
Is this my given role?
Is this what happiness really is?
In truth, I am not happy at all

Common tears, common complaints
I want to try common jokes too
But within the role given to me, there is no such thing

I am hurting like this, yet you all are laughing
Watching me collapse, you are all cheering
Is this my given role?
Is this what happiness really is?
In truth, I am not happy at all
What should I do with a self like this?

What on earth should I do?
What should I do with these feelings of mine?
Who will ever understand this heart of mine?

I am hurting like this, yet you all are laughing
Watching me collapse, you are all cheering
