[English]

You might be scared

But that's your strength

You must be tired

Hold on a sec

You feel disgraced

And full of shame

You're halfway there

Until the light

Lack of hope

No way to cope

Sorry to say

I believe in you

That loneliness

Is all you have

But you know what?

It's not your fault

Someday we will talk all night

Of all that we've been through

No more tears, no more sorrows

Only your brightest smile

Someday we will laugh all night

About our hardest times

Until then we'll hold our hands together

Soft and tight

Together we'll move on

...

Now wipe your tears

You don't deserve

Will you show some smile?

Oh please, for me

Don't blame yourself

Don't hate yourself

You can be rude

You can be mean

I know you will

Be back in a while

To where we used

To hang out a lot

I like who you are

I like who you are

I like who you are

I like who you are

Someday we will talk all night

Of all that we've been through

No more tears, no more sorrows

Only your brightest smile

Someday we will laugh all night

About our hardest times

Until then we'll hold our hands together

Soft and tight

Together we'll move on

...

Someday we will talk all night

No more tears, no more sorrows

Someday we will laugh all night

Until then we'll hold our hands

...
