Lyrics:

Only darkness ahead,
when no other step is left of me
I looked back and saw
so many relying on me.
So again I keep going on and on.

But the truth is, I too am weak and weary.
Carefully hidden behind, lay so much wounds
but useless pride swallows away my tears
and I live on as if all is well.

Worried that you,
my love, might crumble
if you stumble upon my grief
To protect you,
I endure.

But the truth is, I too am weak and weary
Carefully hidden behind, lay so much wounds
but useless pride swallows away my tears
and I live on as if all is well

Waves of my earnest wishes
and often selfish prayers
flow and flow.
If they reach there,
then all can be understood
without a word

Someday everything will come to an end,
Only then,
finally something will comfort me.
Having lost it all,
another me full of understanding.
A better me will be waiting
