These lyrics are saying that, no matter what pain the person is going through, they can show a happy face in front of the one they love.

Then, in the following song, "The Truth Untold" (Feat. Steve Aoki), the lyrics go, "I'm afraid / I feel small / I'm so afraid / Will you end up leaving me as well / I put on a mask and go to you again." These lyrics tell the story of someone who is afraid that the one they love will turn away if they see their true face, and so, they wear a mask.”

On the surface, these lyrics might appear to tell a universal story of the pain of love, but they also represent the BTS members' minds at the time, standing before ARMY.”
