As time passes by

Demon behind the saintly smile,
who sings like an angel.

Trickster behind the innocent looks,
who charms to get what he wants.

Underdog behind the devious mask,
who pretends he is a weakling.

Learn to forget you,
than remember the pains you made me to feel.

Learn to let go,
than hold on to dreams you made me to believe.
