## Lyrics

* English
* Character Parts

Pressure... expectations...

desires of others concerning me...

How am I supposed to face them?

How can I under them live?

I know... they want me to be

exactly as they imagine

Yet I don't know if that really is

what I wish for myself...

I have been burdened to meet

beliefs of those who are part of my life

But deep in my heart I want to be free

I pray for a hint of appreciation

I want to be loved

I want them to see me as for who I am

Please tear away this suffocating dark

and let me breath fresh air

This burden is threating

to burry me under its weight

[I don't want to fall,

I don't want to give up

yet sometimes I feel so alone

please give me new strength

and make me feel loved

or at least help me understand

Sometimes I feel so helpless,

sometimes I struggle to live

sometimes my mind is blackened

by the shadows of darkness

Yet deep inside I want to carry on

in spite of all the hardships,

all I need from you is support

To give me new hope,

even one warming word

may be enough to save me

and put me at ease...

...so I beg you!

Be here for me....

<poem>
Pressure... expectations...
desires of others concerning me...
How am I supposed to face them?
How can I under them live?

I know... they want me to be
exactly as they imagine
Yet I don't know if that really is
what I wish for myself...

I have been burdened to meet
beliefs of those who are part of my life
But deep in my heart I want to be free
I pray for a hint of appreciation

I want to be loved
I want them to see me as for who I am
Please tear away this suffocating dark
and let me breath fresh air
This burden is threating
to burry me under its weight

[Rik/Sak/Shi] I don't want to fall,
[Nak/Nak/Shi] I don't want to give up
[Hyu/Kis/Sor] yet sometimes I feel so alone
[Rik/Sak/Shi] please give me new strength
[Nak/Nak/Shi] and make me feel loved
[Hyu/Kis/Sor] or at least help me understand

Sometimes I feel so helpless,
sometimes I struggle to live
sometimes my mind is blackened
by the shadows of darkness

Yet deep inside I want to carry on
in spite of all the hardships,
all I need from you is support
To give me new hope,
even one warming word
may be enough to save me
and put me at ease...

...so I beg you!
Be here for me....
