lyrics
You called me out by the bus stop curb Rain on your cap, and I bit my words You said, "Bro, look close, don't play the fool" My hand on the can, your stare cut through cool At Seomun Market, noon on the tile You pointed at me, I looked down awhile You told me the mirror I kept was cracked And that kind of truth came wearing no mask I laughed too loud, then I looked away You kept it plain, you had more to say My jaw went tight, my knuckles went white But you stayed right there in the clinic light Tell me straight Tell me straight Tell me straight Tell me straight I hate it, but I need it In front of the jjimjilbang shoes lined up You said my pride was a paper cup One bad reply, and I blew up hard Now I see my own mess in your yard On the second-floor stair, my phone lit blue You read my text back, every word turned true You said, "That boy you keep calling fate Don't show up when your mouth gets loud with hate" I wanted soft, I wanted a lie You gave me steel in the middle of dry No extra shine, no sugar, no grin Just the bruise of the truth underneath my skin Tell me straight Tell me straight Tell me straight Tell me straight I hate it, but I need it Back in Daegu, on the last train home Your voice stayed sharp in the plastic dome I watched my face in the blacked-out glass And every excuse I had slipped past If I walk wrong, you don't walk away You hit that nerve and you make me stay Tell me straight Tell me straight Tell me straight Tell me straight I hate it, but I need it
