Blackpink – You Never Know lyrics (English Translation)

(Verse 1)
On the days I laugh the hardest,
Why does the night feel so much darker?
It keeps pulling me down,
Down, down.
Those words everyone said so carelessly—
Maybe you’ll understand them soon.
I’ve heard enough, I’ve had my fill
Of being told what I’m not.

(Chorus)
Even if the whole world changes,
I remain the same.
I still dream of the path I chose,
Just like I did back then.
The self who danced without a care,
I left him standing there.

(Verse 2)
Sunday night, I’ve been swallowed by my bed,
Trapped inside my own head.
Wondering if I have to keep pretending,
I’ve lost track of the days.
I’m afraid to find myself hoping,
But the brighter the light gets,
The longer my shadow grows.
When everything becomes too dazzling,
Will I still be able to see what’s behind me?

(Chorus)
Even if the whole world changes,
I remain the same.
I still dream of the path I chose,
Just like I did back then.
The self who danced without a care,
I left him standing there.

(Bridge)
You can’t sink—I know it well.
I can’t fly while staring at the ground.
Beyond the clouds, it’s still bright.
I’ve been sketching in the details,
Even on the torn parts of the canvas,
So I can empty everything out and finally laugh.
I want to face the me I never wanted to see, eh.
I remember now, so I’ll be okay.
I’ll make flowers bloom in this blue room of mine,
I’ll always be waiting.

(Refrain)
But you’ll never know unless you walk in my shoes,
You’ll never understand my tangled strings.
‘Cause everybody sees what they wanna see,
It’s easier to judge me than to believe.
These old thoughts I buried deep
Still grab me, still torment me.
But the more I push through, the more I’ll shine, baby,
You know they ain’t got a shot on me.
