I pretended to be me.
How can I pretend to be me?
I ask myself,
Am I someone else?
This voice is so copied,
The words won't fall out nicely.
My soul is being taken away,
far, far away.
Where is my pain?
Where is my love?
I feel like I am being caged inside,
I ain't a bird,
I ain't a bird,
I am jus' a mere human,
too weak to fight on my own,
just pretending to be strong.
And here is where my story begins:
I was this quiet little,
so pure, so innocent.
didn't know cruel men.
And I hide a sinful secret,
Just 11, already an adult.
The sky was full of stars,
like every other night.
A beautiful night... but not for me.
And I stared into the dark space,
I feel betrayed, oh I feel betrayed.
If only I was smart,
If only I wasn't obedient,
I SWEAR I DIDN'T KNOW CRUEL MEN EXIST
Trust is something too fragile,
A woman is a test.
I wish I were a guy,
At least I wouldn't be inhuman.
Memories are to be kept, not forgotten.
Painful or not,
You are, what you were not.
You have a choice, so don't go astray.
I pretended to be me,
But not anymore.
The radiance of the star is,
But slave to memory.
The sun may shine,
But the moon remains vocabulary.
Thanks to you, I never gave up!
