A naive girl with a pure heart in this cruel world,
She'd put a smile on her face and tell herself that she is brave.
Unknown of people's intentions she used to let everyone in;
some betrayed her while some broke her within.
Great at hiding her feelings and broken inside,
Still, she stood rock-solid.
Not knowing what awaits for her,
she decided to give it a second try.

When she finally saw the truth,
she couldn't believe her eyes.
Devastated with fear and pain,
she no longer had the strength to survive.
Wanting to forget it all she ignored her feeling
but it only turned worse.

One day,
she decided to stand up and fight,
suddenly felt the need to survive.
Went through all the pain in the process to build the strength to rise again,
Then she locked all the doors to her heart and threw the keys away
stood alone in this giant, dark world with the motive to love herself again.

One day,
when she finally felt like she was healing,
a person passed by her again told her that she's changed;
A tear dropped from her left eye as she smiled,
and every painful memory that she thought she had conquered retrieved.
That is when she realized the actual pain;
because you know they were the only reason why!
