I've been fighting my whole life
I am standing on the sharp edge of a knife
There isn't a day that I'm not cowering
Afraid of what might happen if I stop moving.

There's so many problems in this lifetime
I wish I could tell the truth, and say I'm not fine
It's so hard keeping up those great expectations
And no matter where I look, I couldn't find solutions.

I got criticized for my appearance before
No matter what I do, I just couldn't ignore
Ignore the mouths of the bullies at school
Why did they do it? Does it make them look cool?

Another is, I cried so hard as I saw my parents fight
The pillars of our home have made a wrong move that night
That one mistake that wrecked everything including her heart
I cried with my mother who's more hurt and scarred

Life would be easy if I live in luxury
But sadly that's not the case financially
We're currently striving to earn some money
Since in this life, nothing is given for free.

I may be smiling but I'm breaking apart
Life hurts so much, it's tearing my heart.
But nevertheless I think I'm gonna be okay
I'm just gonna do my role in this life and pray.

Life is indeed hard but it's beautiful
I got to experience everything that is wonderful
I've got no time to shed some tears and weep
I just gonna stand tall and take a leap.

I choose this life and I choose to live
This lifetime may hurt but it's a gift
I may receive trials and challenges
But the main goal is to find happiness.
