You know friend
When I was just a child in primary school
I got blamed for something I don't even recall
All the kids in the classroom said I was the one who whispered something offensive about the teacher on the board in front

You know
I was just not paying attention
Always lost in my world
So I got confused and looked like I accepted the verdict as it was been told

Then everything became weird
You know
Sometimes people get cruel
So then it's easy to hide even deeper inside

Ohh how I wanted to get along
Believe it or not
I wasn't really angry to the children who pointed the finger
I just wanted to get along

But things were not as before
So I had to toughen up and be alone
It was then I learned to observe
And I came to hate and I came to love

You know friend
Sometimes the only thing you can do is strenghten up
So then you can be at ease with yourself
And then you can get back out of your mind and into the world

Yes, I was lonely as a stray dog
And yes, all I wanted was just to get along
But sometimes you have to give your soul what it wants
Not what the heart begs for

Remember how much you wanted to belong?
Well, not everything goes as things should go
And you get to know hate
And you learn to love

You know friend
It wasn't easy
I had to sacrifice the tenderness of a child's heart
I had to accept how I saw the world

You know friend
Thats how childage stops
And you gain bitter consciousness
But that's how you grow

When you feel so terribly lonely
And you are in the middle of the night alone
You can still hear the child crying to get along
You can hear it bursting in tears for the innocence you let go

You know friend
I have come to realise there is no way to make this feeling stop
But sometimes you have to stand up straight
And give your soul what it wants, not what the heart begs for
