(ROJE!)

I was just a kid with dreams so high
Never gave up, always reached for the sky
Through high school halls, I walked alone
Introduced to love, self-independence, and a heart of stone
Fell into relationships, thought they'd last
But the hurt and the heartache came so fast
Friends turned away, love unreturned
In the fires of youth, I got burned

I faced the pain, I faced the fear
Through breakups and heartaches, I shed my tears
I questioned myself, was it for recognition?
But I rose above, found my true ambition
I faced the pain, I faced the fear
Through breakups and heartaches, I shed my tears
I questioned myself, was it for recognition?
But I rose above, found my true ambition

Relationships faltered, friends pushed away
For loving one of them, I had a price to pay
But in the last few months, I made amends
Became more recognized, found true friends
Walking through the halls with my head held high
Met amazing souls, like stars in the sky
Lili and J-, they showed me the way
Helped me find strength in each passing day

I faced the pain, I faced the fear
Through breakups and heartaches, I shed my tears
I questioned myself, was it for recognition?
But I rose above, found my true ambition
I faced the pain, I faced the fear
Through breakups and heartaches, I shed my tears
I questioned myself, was it for recognition?
But I rose above, found my true ambition

I faced the pain, I faced the fear
Through breakups and heartaches, I shed my tears
I questioned myself, was it for recognition?
But I rose above, found my true ambition
I faced the pain, I faced the fear
Through breakups and heartaches, I shed my tears
I questioned myself, was it for recognition?
But I rose above, found my true ambition
