[Intro: Changbin]

Like a streetlight, like a streetlight

At the end of a lonely day, standing vacantly

In the middle of the lonely night, I try my best to smile brightly


[Verse 1: Changbin]

I don't want anyone to see how incredibly weak I am

To the people who relied on me that's a contradiction

Acting strong, acting like I'm not hurting, actin like nothing is wrong

I just wanted to be someone who gives strength to others

I can't be the reason that they lose strength

I don't have the courage to ask "Can I lean on you?"

The pain silently grows in my heart, trapped in a room without a way out

When you've held it in for so long, you grow numb to it

I guess I can still bear it, because I'm still able to hold it in

The bandage on the wound will eventually come off

Even though I quickly stick it back on, it doesn't stay on for much long

Rainwater ponding on the old roof

Finds my empty cracks all too well, keeps leaking again and again

I need someone before I collapse

Please ask me again if I'm okay, somebody, anybody


[Chorus: Changbin]

Like a streetlight, like a streetlight

In the middle of the lonely night, I still just look bright

At the end of a lonely day, standing vacantly again

In the middle of the lonely night, I try my best to smile brightly


[Verse 2: Changbin]

Unable to rely on anything, I chose to only rely on myself

But now that I'm shaking, who can I even hold on to for support?

In front of the shoulders I'd rested my hands on in comfort

My shoulder are now drooping even further, but who cares?

I can't let it out, I can't let it all out

And the pain I couldn't let out starts blaming myself

When I keep breathing in this stale air

It goes beyond being uncomfortable and I'm left gasping for air

I end up bothered by things that shouldn't even matter

And they end up mattering even though they shouldn't

Even though people's eyes aren't on me their, I feel their gazes sting

Thinking they might keep watch and see the expression I've kept hidden slip out

I'm afraid, yeah, I'm afraid

[Bridge: Bang Chan, Changbin]

Like a streetlight, like a streetlight

(I'm afraid, I'm afraid)

At end of a lonely day, standing vacantly again

In the middle of the lonely night, I try my best to smile brightly


[Chorus: Changbin]

Like that streetlight, like a streetlight

In the middle of the lonely night, I still just look bright

At the end of a lonely day, standing vacantly again

In the middle of the lonely night, I try my best to smile brightly


[Chorus: Changbin & Bang Chan]

Like a streetlight, like a streetlight

In the middle of the lonely night, I still just look bright

At the end of a lonely day, standing vacantly again

In the middle of the lonely night, I try my best to smile brightly
