When I was young,
before…
The birds sang morning sunshine,
The clouds said where'd you like to go,
The sun gave hope to take a step.
Before..
Longing between beauty and the world
To hate myself while looking at someone else
Desire to be of the world and beauty
To hate myself while thinking I know the woman.
When I was young,
before…
The night sang sweet dreams innocent,
The stars said we'll be with you till nowhere,
The moon have hope to stare into the dark.
Before…
I grew taller with wants that stayed heavy
To hate myself while loving the mirror's image
I grew tougher with promises I left behind
To hate myself while thinking tomorrow's a new day.
When I was young,
after…
If I could remember which time
I was a girl of the dreams
If I could relive the day in time
I am the girl of dreams.
After,
I cut the longing and bleed the years I wasted
To hate myself while hungry for any love
I cut the dreams but killed the girl
To hate myself while wondering who I'll be.
When I was young,
after…
If I could ask her which sun
Look, I'm new; unfeeling but knew
If I could lift that cloud
I'd remain girl of the dreams.
With growth gone is the sunny day
To hate the woman when the girl is loved
I won't listen, I remain unscathed!
To hate myself while saying I love myself.
