[English]
That rose has no thorns.
The best revenge is beauty; the most beautiful bloom is a counterattack.
Don't let anyone change you.
You are you, it's all okay.
Someone will love you wholeheartedly.
That rose has no thorns.
The best revenge is beauty; the most beautiful bloom is a counterattack.
Don't let anyone change you.
You are you, it's all okay.
Someone will love you wholeheartedly.
Who put whose soul into whose body?
Who turned whose body into a prison, imprisoning oneself?
The chaotic world is never short of whispers.
What kind of beauty will attract jealousy?
You are not guilty; the world is.
You are not guilty by being human; you don't need to apologize.
One day I will be you baby boy, and you will be me
If the noise never stops, let me keep you company in silence.
I wish I could hug you, till you're really really being free
That rose has no thorns.
The best revenge is beauty; the most beautiful bloom is a counterattack.
Don't let anyone change you.
You are you, it's all okay.
Someone will love you wholeheartedly.
That rose has no thorns.
The best revenge is beauty; the most beautiful bloom is a counterattack.
Don't let anyone change you.
You are you, it's all okay.
Someone will love you wholeheartedly.
