Please tell me, please explain it to me
What's wrong with me?
Who else could it be
That dwells within me?

My veins are now ruptured
My bones too shattered
And yet I'm smiling bright
Being blind to the light.

I've questioned myself
I've doubted myself
It all ends in resentment
Until the day you found me.

I'll still wait and stand here
Feel the rotting wretched existence
Until death consumes me
Don't come to find me
A fading nobody.
I don't want to hurt you
You have to forgive me
Remember me
The way I used to be.

At once I started changing
But the things were remaining
I'm corrupt for wishing a paradise
With the paralyzing change.

I don't want to hurt you,
Who else could it be
That dwells within me?
Remember me
The way I used to be
When I was shining vividly.
