But heart disapprove as it cries.

But my heart disagrees and cries.

obedient was like a crime.

Being obedient felt wrong.

have a mine of your own.

Think for yourself.

Yet my voice is owned by the others

Yet others control my voice

I can't lie.

I'm still obedient in my prime.

I'm still obedient in my best years.

So, just it from my eyes.

So, just see it from my eyes.

I don't mind breaking my heart.

It's not the first time.

So, I shall sleep.

So, I will sleep.

That was my biggest mistake.

I'll break up the heart.

So, I'll just accept my fate.

I bloomed so a broken crate.

I bloomed like a broken box.
