Lyrics

Honestly, I don't even know where I should start explaining this
No matter how I spin it, I sound like a total freak
I was hoping maybe you could just let this one slide for me
But anyway, I made a promise, said I wouldn't lie to you
So here goes—wait a second, do you guys already know this?
If I only dodge the truth but never lie, that's fine, right?
Hey, don't look this way, I'm not meeting your eyes, so look away
The truth is, I wanted to change everything
I thought I could make it all better with my own two hands
I thought if I kept trying, I could fix it, I'm good at everything
Yeah, fine, I was a dumb bastard, I know that already
Quit laughing already, you jerk; and hyung, quit laughing too
And what's with that face like you already understand all of this
Anyway, what I mean is, there really was nothing better
I already had it in my hands
…which only made this whole damn thing even more of a mess
My little world was endlessly wide in front of me
My little view could never hold the whole of it
My short life stretched on forever without end
My little choices kept choosing only wrong answers
My one single year was worth more than ten thousand years
My ten thousand years became that one single year
Every beginning always looked the same to me
My real beginning finally became right now
I know it sounds like some solo concept bit, but still
It's obvious how you'll all react when you hear this song
You think I haven't seen it? You were always the same
Ah, whatever—figure it out and just listen
The truth is, I wanted to change everything
I thought I could make it all better with my own two hands
I thought if I kept—right, promised I wouldn't lie
Anyway, so what I'm trying to say is
My little world was endlessly wide in front of me
My little view could never hold the whole of it
My short life stretched on forever without end
My little choices kept choosing only wrong answers
My one single year was worth more than ten thousand years
My ten thousand years became that one single year
Every beginning was a nightmare all the same
But this is the story I wanted more than anything
This is the opening with our happy ending set
