English Adapted Lyrics
----------------------------------
Select a different smile
To win another heart.
With clever words beguile
I’ll play a lifelike part
But my eyes are blank
My mind is white.
The time has come for me to stop this pretense
I will not live so passionlessly.
For I cannot continue living all alone
Though throughout my solitude I’ve known
That I cannot forever hide myself away
In fear that someday my heart will break.
Well, I have blamed this age in which I live
But, really, what excuse have I to give?
I should open up my heart to truth and love
And be inspired to be myself
Who decided this modern age has to be so fake?
