Cham isanghae bunmyeong nan neoreul neomu saranghaessneunde
Modu neoege majchugo neol wihae salgo sipeossneunde
Geureolsurok nae mamsogui pokpungeul gamdanghal su eopge dwae
Utgo issneun gamyeonsogui jinjja nae moseubeul da deureonae

It’s so strange, I know I loved you so much
I wanted to fit in and live for you
But the more I did that, the more I couldn’t handle the storm in my heart
I saw the real me hidden behind the smiling veil

I’m the one I should love in this world
Bichnaneun nareul sojunghan nae yeonghoneul
Ijeya kkaedara So I love me
Jom bujokhaedo neomu areumdaun geol
I’m the one I should love

I’m the one I should love in this world
My shining self, my precious soul
I realize it now, so I love me
Even if I’m a little lacking, I’m still so beautiful
I’m the one I should love

Heundeulligo duryeowodo apeuro georeoga
Pokpung soge sumgyeodwotdeon jinjja neowa manna
Wae nan ireoke sojunghan nal sumgyeodugo shipeotneunji
Mwoga geuri duryeowo
Nae jinjja moseubeul sumgyeotneunji

Even if I’m shaking and afraid, I’ll keep moving forward
And meet the real you hidden in the storm
Why did I want to hide such a precious me?
What was I so afraid of that I hid my true self?

I’m the one I should love in this world
Bichnaneun nareul sojunghan nae yeonghoneul
Ijeya kkaedara So I love me
Jom bujokhaedo neomu areumdaun geol
I’m the one I should love

I’m the one I should love in this world
My shining self, my precious soul
I realize it now, so I love me
Even if I’m a little lacking, I’m still so beautiful
I’m the one I should love

Jogeumeun mungtukhago bujokhalji molla
Sujubeun gwangchae ttawin an boilji molla
Hajiman idaeroye naega got nain geol
Jigeumkkeot saraon nae palgwa dari shimjang yeonghoneul

I may be a little blunt and imperfect
Maybe my shy radiance won’t show
But this is who I am, myself
My arms, legs, heart, and soul that I’ve lived with until now

Saranghago sipeo in this world
Bichnaneun nareul sojunghan nae yeonghoneul
Ijeya kkaedara So I love me
Jom bujokhaedo neomu areumdaun geol
I’m the one I should love

I want to love myself in this world
My shining self, my precious soul
I realize it now, so I love me
Even if I’m a little lacking, I’m still so beautiful
I’m the one I should love

I’m the one I should love
I’m the one I should love
I’m the one I should love
I’m the one I should love
