Honestly Lyrics – RIIZE

[Verse 1: Sohee, Wonbin]
아무리 애써 봤자 뛰지 않는 heart
아무리 애써봐도 그대로인 걸
오히려 잘 된 것만 같아
I’m giving my love to myself
난 변할 테니까
최선을 다했으니 후회 없어 난
내 우선순위 속 넌 없어 더 이상
이젠 분명해
You gave me the alarm
내 전부였던 네게 말할게 goodbye

[Pre-Chorus: Eunseok, Sohee]
You were my angel
영원하자 했던 그때의 날 잊어
Such a cruel way to end us
이젠 당겨버린 이별이란 trigger

[Chorus: Wonbin, Anton, Eunseok]
Honestly, all I need is me
난 너 없이 더 자유로워 free
Honestly, I know you didn’t see
Now, I can be what I just wanna be
I just wanna be, be

[Verse 2: Sungchan, Sohee, Shotaro]
I know you tryna reach me through my friends
You know, 두 번은 속지 않아
This is the end, oh
실수라는 변명 따윈 no more
And I don’t know why you gotta deny your feelings (Feelings)
One of these days, I know you gonna get that healing (Healing)
더는 그만 괴롭혀
Overthinking and thinking (Thinking)
Why you slipping and slipping skip it? (Slipping, skip it)
아름답던 우리의 추억만 keep it (No, no, no)

[Pre-Chorus: Anton, Wonbin]
You were my angel
너로 가득했던 나를 모두 지워 (모두 지워)
Such a cruel way to end us (End us)
돌이킬 수 없어 이별이란 trigger (Trigger)

[Chorus: Anton, Eunseok, Wonbin]
Honestly, all I need is me
난 너 없이 더 자유로워 free (Ooh)
Honestly, I know you didn’t see (Know you didn’t)
Now I can be what I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, whatever’s got to be, oh

[Bridge: Sohee, Shotaro, Anton, Wonbin, *Eunseok*]
All I need is me, yeah
I’ll be good for me, yeah (Ooh)
깨달았어 네 덕분에 이제야
You were the king of my city
I’ve been burning my town (Ooh)
너만을 비추던 내 두 눈이
이젠 더 먼 곳을 바라보지
*더 이상 내 세상에 너는 없다는 걸*
‘Cause girl, I gotta tell you honestly

[Chorus: Sohee, Sungchan, Anton, Eunseok, *Wonbin*]
Honestly, all I need is me
난 너 없이 더 자유로워 free (자유로워 free)
Honestly, I know you didn’t see (No)
Now, I can be what I just wanna be
I just wanna be, feel so me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, woah
I just wanna be, feel so me, *woah*
