Intro:

Emi C Ami

Something has changed and I don't know what to say

I used to stand here alone and in my mind say

Something is standing in my way and I can't see

It's clouding up my vision and it intimidates me

I didn't want to come here in the first place

People can be so false sometimes

When they don't find words

Peolpe can be so false sometimes
