[Verse 1] You saw me fall, didn't you? The heel broke, 무대가 기울었지 But you made one mistake, my love— You thought I'd stay down to please you Three months I rebuilt from the wreckage 찢어진 미소를 다시 꿰매고 Every mirror I passed, I didn't blink 처음으로 나를 마주했어 [Pre-Chorus 1] You wanted me hollow, wanted me small But you don't know what it's like to crawl From the gutter to the stars with your teeth And then stand in the light, unashamed, complete [Chorus 1] I'm the rookie of the year, can you hear it? 온 방이 내 이름을 불러 I'm the girl you thought you buried But tonight, darling, I'm the only thing you'll bow to I'm not broken glass, 난 샹들리에 I shine louder every time you sneer So watch me bloom, watch me glow Like a rose that learned to hold its own [Verse 2] I see you by the bar, red lips, fake grace 독은 네 목소리에, 난 미소에 묻혔지 You played your little games, bet on my decay But the crowd chose me, unnie—이제 뭐라고? You can keep your cold, your control, your private war 부서져도 더 원하는 마음이 있어 And unlike you, I don't need someone else's fall 일어나는 건 나니까, crawling through it all [Pre-Chorus 2] The scars are real, but they don't own me now They're just the roots beneath the crown So go ahead, take your shot, aim it well 넌 내 악몽이 아니야, 내 이야기일 뿐 [Chorus 2] I'm the rookie of the year, can you hear it? 트로피보다 더 빛나는 나야 I'm the girl who stopped apologizing Who learned that soft hearts can still be fighters I'm not your puppet, not your fool 침묵이 복종일 거라 착각했지 So watch me burn, watch me rise 네가 붙인 불꽃이 내 눈에 살아있어 [Bridge] (spoken, low and sure) "You thought breaking my heel would break me. But darling, I've been falling since I was a child. I know how to land. I know how to rise. 무대의 모든 금을 알아. Still here. Still singing. 오늘 밤 최고의 무대를 줄게. Just so you never forget my name." (soft, triumphant laugh) "...They're playing my song. 같이 춤출래?" [Final Chorus] I'm the rookie of the year, can you feel it? 온 도시가 내 이름을 외쳐 I'm the girl who turned her bleeding into breathing And I'm not giving you the satisfaction of my fall I'm the light you tried to smother 누나도, 전사도, 하나뿐인 하나 So watch me bloom, watch me glow 오늘 밤은 내 거야, 알아두길 바래 [Outro] "I'll take my crown with the scars still on it. And if you see me smiling... 네가 없이도 이겼으니까." (the sound of heels, steady, walking away — then silence)
