TAEYEON (태연) – Toddler (어른아이)

산타를 믿지 않게 된 순간부터
시간이 빨리 흐르게 된 걸까
까맣게 잊고 지낸 옛 친구들이
내 기억 속보다 더 작아진 느낌

어제와 똑같은 오늘이라
슬슬 지겨워져 설렘은 없는 걸
망가진 인형에 말을 걸어
날 잊은 듯 답이 없어

동화 속의 여왕처럼
난 어른인데 그게 다인 걸
모든 동화처럼
해피엔딩들만
있다고 믿었던
아이처럼 아직 꿈꿔
아이처럼 아직 꿈꿔

호기심은 금세 꺼져버리지
알고 싶지 않은 얘기들이 넘쳐흘러서
다들 피터팬이 되기를 원해
예전엔 그랬지 또 지겨운 소리

솔직해지기가 어려워서
뭐든 숨기고 봐 당연한 것처럼
상처를 받는 게 바보 같아
혼자만의 비밀이 돼

동화 속의 여왕처럼
난 어른인데 그게 다인 걸
모든 동화처럼
해피엔딩들만
있다고 믿었던
아이처럼 아직 꿈꿔

그대로 시간이 두고 간
악몽은 오늘도 찾아와
뒤를 돌면 서 있어
진짜 내 모습이야

내가 알던 동화 속의 여왕처럼
난 어른인데 그게 다인 걸
모든 동화처럼
해피엔딩들만
있다고 믿었던
꿈만큼은 아직 나도 똑같은 걸

그 어린애가 남아있어
모든 동화처럼
해피엔딩들만
있다고 믿었던
아이처럼 아직 꿈꿔

From the moment when I started not believing in Santa
Did the time start to flow faster?
My old friends that I lived forgetting
Seems to have become smaller than in my memories

Today is the same as yesterday
Slowly, it becomes dull, there’s no more fluttering
Start talking to torn doll
As if it has forgotten me, there’s no answer

Like a queen in the fairytales
I’m an adult, but that is all
Like all fairytales
When I believed…
…that there were only happy endings
Like a child, I still dream
Like a child, I still dream

Curiosity becomes dull sooner or later
The stories that I don’t want to know overflows
Everyone wants to be Peter Pan
Last time it was like that, again, those dull words

It’s hard to be honest
I hide everything, like it is something obvious
It’s like a fool that I get hurt
It becomes a secret I keep to myself

Like a queen in the fairytales
I’m an adult, but that is all
Like all fairytales
When I believed…
…that there were only happy endings
Like a child, I still dream

Like that, that the time have left
Nightmare visits me again today
When I turn around, it’s there
That’s the real me

Like a queen in the fairytales that I knew of
I’m an adult, but that is all
Like all fairytales
When I believed…
…that there were only happy endings
I’m still the same when it comes to my dreams

That child is left behind
Like all fairytales
When I believed…
…that there were only happy endings
Like a child, I still dream
