Ever since I was a little girl, I was afraid
My circumstances had me in a whirl, but life still called my name
Then I got a little older....maybe a little too old for my age
And I gave up, because their lies were all the same

And I know
That life is for the living
And I know
That love is for giving
But I no longer seem
To possess that emotion
"This, too, shall pass"
But I'm a little unsure if I can last

Why can't I find love in my life?
Want it more than anything, but still I fail & try
Don't know where to go
Don't know who to hold close
I can't… I won't… live like this anymore!

And I know
That life is for the living
And I know
That love is for giving
But I no longer seem
To possess that emotion
"This, too, shall pass"
But I'm a little unsure if I can last

C'est la vive. (Well, that's life.)
Mais je suis prête pour ça. (But I'm ready for it.)
Qu est-que je peux? (What can I do?)
Je ne sais pas. (I don't know.)
Quel dommage…. (What a pity….)
