Hello, everyone, it’s been a while
Listen to the story I’ve been hiding
About the mask I’ve kept
Hidden at my front door
When I step outside, I become the perfect professional
But only after I come home do I become my true self
Sorry if this feels less like a confession
And more like a secret being exposed (Sorry, everyone)

Every day, it’s all the same
I want to break free from this routine and leave
But I don’t have the courage to do that (So don’t wait for me)

I hope you go ahead first
I think I’ll be late
Don’t worry, I’ll really follow behind
Once I’m used to wearing these masks
Time doesn’t wait for our convenience, they say
Why is time’s personality like that?
I hope you make it to the end
But it seems like I won’t be able to make it

Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-ra, pa-pa-pa-ra-ra
Pa-pa-pa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa-ra-ra, pa-pa-pa-ra-ra
Pa-pa-pa-ra

Honestly, I know it well
My hidden inferiority complex
This game of avoidance might just be a temporary fix
But it’s good for my mental health
Ever since I first got the title of “adult”
I’ve been unconsciously hiding it all along
Now I’m so used to it
It’s heavy, this goodbye with myself (See you at night)

Every day, it’s all the same
A ghost hiding behind a mask
Will you still look after me, who’s no different? (Really? It won’t be easy)

I hope you go ahead first
I think I’ll be late
Don’t worry, I’ll really follow behind
Once I’m used to wearing these masks
Time doesn’t wait for our convenience, they say
Why is time’s personality like that?
I hope you make it to the end
But it seems like I won’t be able to make it

I hope you go ahead first
I think I’ll be late
Don’t worry, I’ll really follow behind
Once I’m used to wearing these masks
Time doesn’t wait for our convenience, they say
Why is time’s personality like that?
I hope you make it to the end
But it seems like I won’t be able to make it
