The angel I thought you were.
Little by little
As time passes by
I am learning the...

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 despise you,
than live the world you made me to cry.

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.
