I keep wanting to bring it up
Every little thing, I want to share it all
I want to look the prettiest on the small screen
But for now, I hide my feelings tightly
Pretending to be cool is really tiring
I can’t pretend to be indifferent anymore

Because of you, who shows no reaction, I’m upset
My friends call me out without noticing
