English Adapted Lyrics
----------------------------------
The remaining scars of a long forgotten past
As I walk alone I feel them start to ache again.
I must not reveal, so my weakness I conceal
As upon my mask I create a smile.
Well, even though I’m older now
I am still the same child, how can I hide
The cowardice that haunts me even now.
And only to pretend to be strong
That is all I’ve learned how.
*Emotions strong sweep me along
They overflow in me.
How can I find words to describe these feelings?
If my path had never led to yours
And placed you in my memory
I would never have to know this pain that now
Has been locked within me.
For the first time I have come to realise
That the wounds of days before, they never truly heal.
And I start to see that there is no point to me
Fearing days ahead that I cannot refuse.
Oh, how much courage do I need
To tell without uncertainty, so openly
The truth about all I feel inside?
Where can I find the words that could describe
Just a drop of this tide?
**I’m swept away, I can’t convey
A word of all I feel.
And what’s in my heart my lips can find no way to say.
As everyone must live today
Emotions carried like a weight
Left without a way to set their feelings free
They are living silently.
(Repeat * and **)
