Lyrics
I wore a borrowed calm
숨겨 둔 내 맘
[Sumgyeo dun nae mam.]
[My heart, kept hidden away.]
They drew my future small
넘어선 그 말
[Neomeoseon geu mal.]
[Those words I finally moved past.]
I carried every slam
삼켜 낸 그 밤
[Samkyeo naen geu bam.]
[That night I swallowed whole.]
They prayed behind the wall
지켜 낸 내 말
[Jikyeo naen nae mal.]
[The words I fought to keep.]
No costume could stay still
걸어 간 이 길
[Georeo gan i gil.]
[This road I walked alone.]
I stepped out to meet it
입 맞춘 햇빛
[Ip matchun haetbit.]
[I kissed the sunlight itself.]
I loved them through the door
But kneel no more for more
When elders count my flaws
I breathe beyond their laws
You thought I'd be a daughter in line
But I'm not, but I'm not
You thought one ring would make me align
But I'm not, but I'm not
I am the spark when the hallway goes dark
I am the door and the hand on the lock
I am not yours to define or divide
I am the love that was born to survive
They dressed me for their fit
깨어 난 내 빛
[Kkaeeonan nae bit.]
[My own light, wide awake.]
Our sapphic hearts made room
넓어진 우리 품
[Neolbeojin uri pum.]
[Our arms, grown wide enough.]
I learned to ask why
껴안은 차이
[Kkyeoaneun chai.]
[The difference I held close.]
Four mothers scared to see
여기 남은 우리
[Yeogi nameun uri.]
[We're still here, still us.]
If heaven hears my breath
If faith can hold my chest
The altar isn't stone
It's every chosen home
You thought I'd be a daughter in line
But I'm not, but I'm not
You thought one ring would make me align
But I'm not, but I'm not
I am the spark when the hallway goes dark
I am the door and the hand on the lock
I am not yours to define or divide
I am the love that was born to survive
Not the son they almost named
Not the girl they framed the same
I can be tender and loud
I can be lonely and proud
You thought I'd be a daughter in line
But I'm not, but I'm not
You thought one ring would make me align
But I'm not, but I'm not
I am the spark when the hallway goes dark
I am the door and the hand on the lock
I am not yours to define or divide
I am the love that was born to survive
You thought I'd be a daughter in line
But I'm not, but I'm not
You thought one ring would make me align
But I'm not, but I'm not
I am the spark when the hallway goes dark
I am the door and the hand on the lock
I am not yours to define or divide
I am the love that was born to survive
I bless the life I choose
I bless the loves I choose
I bless the name I choose
I'm not gone - but I'm true.
