[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
“Are you happy?”—that whispering question, la-ta-ta-la-ta
Clings to me and won’t let go—useless, la-ta-ta-la-ta
I can’t even recall what a tasteless, scentless life felt like
I sang just to forget—how foolish, la-ta-ta-la-ta

[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn’t bring myself to hate or resent
Too naive, too foolish to manage that
If this is how your story ends
It’s so full of lies I almost have to laugh—lies, lies, lies (liar)

[Chorus]
No! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it really hurts
And yet I still wished for some kind of miracle
I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it
It’s just so twisted
Hey, is this pain a lie, lie, lie—or not?
Tear out everything that’s broken and wrong
Call me cold-hearted, call me whatever you like
I just want to say goodbye to my trauma, ma, ma-ma-ma

[Verse 2]
I never learned how to lean on others
I just didn’t have enough charm or sweetness
Nights full of noisy regrets
“Just move on from the past—it’s over,” right?
I know that much, believe me, la-ta-ta

[Pre-Chorus]
Even wishing, even praying
Wasn’t allowed, so I turned myself black
Can’t even remember what I looked like before
These tangled threads of fate, fate, fate, fate

[Chorus]
No! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it really hurts
Pretending I’m the tragic heroine
I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it
Should I just give up?
But still—I want to see you, want to see you
My mind is all tied up in knots
I’ll probably break it all again tomorrow, but it’s fine
Even my trauma feels dear to me, me, me-me-me

[Bridge]
In my dreams, I’m holding your hand
Just like the two of us back when we knew nothing
But I know—it won’t last
So please, just finish it gently with your own hands—come on, now, now, now

[Chorus]
No! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it really hurts
And yet I still wished for some kind of miracle
I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it
It’s just so twisted
Hey, is this pain a lie, lie, lie—or not?
Tear out everything that’s broken and wrong
Call me cold-hearted, call me whatever you like
I just want to say goodbye to my trauma, ma, ma-ma-ma
Ma, ma, ma-ma-ma
