Sub Character Lyrics (English Translation) – YOUNHA (윤하)

[Verse 1]
Like always, it’s just your back I see
Staring till my eyes go numb
Then a sudden thought hits me, whatever I try
Could I ever be like you?
Falling again into jealousy
My heart keeps getting stained
I feel it cooling fast, I know I’m not the lead
Just another extra in the scene

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you just look so perfect

So I hated you for no real reason
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it
Truth is even now, I’m barely holding on

[Chorus]
I’m a sub character, we’re nothing alike
I envy how you shine so bright
Everybody loves you
You’re seen by everyone, you look so happy there
I’m a sub character, just another loser
Filled up with jealousy
Tell me, am I the bad one here?
I wanna be you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere along the way I slowly
Started to hate myself
A passing thought, whose fault is this?
It’s probably yours
I know it too, you’ve done nothing wrong
It’s just because I’m this kind of man
How does it feel, being the main role?
Are you hurting sometimes too?

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I don’t understand anything at all
Everything’s tangled up inside
I’m sorry for only hating you
Still it’s so hard to erase this heart

[Chorus]
I’m a sub character, I’m not that important
Tell me if you know this feeling
I know I’m ugly, a loser’s montage
With an ending already set
I’m a sub character, just another loser
Where am I meant to go?
Tell me, does my story end
Just thrown away like that?

[Bridge]
Even when nobody says a word
I keep comparing you and me
I try to see you in the worst light
Then breathe a sigh of relief
I know it too, I’m really the worst
No matter how many times I try
I can’t change it

[Chorus]
I’m a sub character, we’re nothing alike
I envy how you shine so bright
Everybody loves you
You’re seen by everyone, you look so happy there
I’m a sub character, just another loser
Filled up with jealousy
Tell me, am I the bad one here?
I wanna be you

[Pre-Chorus]
My story in the end, oh

[Chorus]
I’m a sub character, I don’t matter at all
Tell me someone would say that’s not true
I know it doesn’t mean anything now
It was decided from the start
I don’t care, even if I lose
I can still hold on, right?
Help me, please just take my hand
Because you’re the main character
