So dark was the days as I look back

My cries were a song that never relaxed

When did I realize where I was?

Did I want to know who I was?

I was broken and cruel

dropped and fooled

I was an actress between home and school

And yet...where did my smile go?

I thought I was dark and yet I was weak

Scared of everything

Yet I could only weep and yell

cursing and crying for my family

I'm young and tired, old inside

All I did to hide just wasn't enough and so I cried.

I want to be strong and make up for my failing heart

Hopefully, by then I won't see only the dark.

I apologize and I'll try not to cry

Don't ask me a reason, I don't know why.

I just can't bear to see you cry

and so I'll try to give you light.

By then, I hope we'll see the light.
