"What's all this rage for?
You'll die one day for sure.
Let go of this anger anyway
This rage won't help you, okay?"

"I know, I know all of this
But there's still much to reminisce
How can I just forget it
And those who'd hurt me just admit it

Shouldn't they beg for forgiveness
Who dragged me into this mess
I was happy, I was living
Now, I'm only grieving"

"I understand you're in pain
But your childhood scars won't always remain
They would fade away with time
And eventually you'll forgive their crime"

"I may forgive them, but I won't ever forget
They killed me, when I was only fifteen
I was just a child, I mean
I wasn't meant to be strong, I needed to be safe"
