The city noise at night, traffic at 8 A.M.
Got enough on my plate, I burn the candle at both ends
A former gifted kid, a good associate
That's what they see me as, and if you don't, that's not my business...
Maintain a steady hand, never too acquiesce
Call me a control freak, well, I call it doing my best
Not unprofessional, never too indiscreet
I was molded this way, so I guess it’s how I'll always be
Couldn't rest if I tried, guess I've just got a high caliber
Never gonna waste my time, no, that ain't up to my caliber
Late nights and heavy eyes covered with foundation
The image of a modern woman's determination
夜以继日
yèyǐjìrì
Day and night, around the clock
My future is up to me
废寝忘食
fèiqǐnwàngshí
Neglect sleep, forget to eat
Sacrificing anything
I do what it takes until I get what I want
So what else could be wrong?
绞尽脑汁
jiǎojìnnǎozhī
Racking my brain
I'm smart because I had to be
追悔莫及
zhuīhuǐmòjí
No time to regret
Don’t look back and the errors won’t be seen
Worked hard and I got everything that I could want
So why is something off...?
Part of the bigger picture and still feeling alone
A wild stallion reduced to a deer in headlights
I have to fit in but I have to be exceptional
Outstanding, upstanding, near god-like, and still polite
Forget to eat, the scale number changing is just a bonus
Thin and emotionless, I’m everything I ever wanted
The ideals that I knew turned out to be a siren call
...If I can’t be perfect, I don’t want to be anything at all

(Self-contradictory)
(Couldn't rest if I tried, guess I've just got a high caliber
Never gonna waste my time, no, that ain't up to my caliber)
My racing mind, my body immovable
I need paradoxical pain to make me beautiful
夜以继日
yèyǐjìrì
Day and night, around the clock
The future wasn’t up to me
废寝忘食
fèiqǐnwàngshí
Neglect sleep, forget to eat
Sacrificing precious things
I did what it took until I got what I want
So what else could be wrong?
绞尽脑汁
jiǎojìnnǎozhī
Racking my brain
My intellect is obsolete
追悔莫及
zhuīhuǐmòjí
No time to regret
The past, it plays in my head on repeat
Worked hard and got everything that I could want
So why is it all off?
I get so close to the truth
I'm always at the precipice
And then this materialism has to come and ruin it
No meditation, medication, no doctor, no therapist
Could cure me of the condition of the world that I have to live in
Working on my rest days, never productive enough
Even on my best days; will it ever be enough?
I see something ahead, if the light is a trick, I don't know
I won't know until I go
I won't know until I-

The city noise at night, traffic at 8 A.M.
Got enough on my plate, I burn the candle at both ends
A practical woman, a good associate
That's what they see me as, and if you don't, that's not my business...
Nothing particular, a bit unwavering
Call me "indifferent", that's just the way I go about things
Not unprofessional, never too indiscreet
I am what I am, and it's just the way I'll always be
Couldn't rest if I tried, guess I've just got a high caliber
Never gonna waste my time, no, that ain't up to my caliber
I do what I do, and I do it so well
I'm so poised and put-together, hey, couldn't you tell?

There's nothing that I wouldn't do
