Pare Pare

I still remember like it was yesterday
Every moment of your memories
I’m a bit of a handful because of that
A little sad is always a part of me

It still aches deep inside
Each one of my wounds
My sea is always stormy because of that
My shores are always a bit lonely

Sometimes I burn, sometimes I fade
Sometimes I cry, sometimes I laugh
Piece by piece
My joys are always bittersweet

Like mountains, like oceans, I carry my pain
I’m a witness to the songs
Whenever I wink at life with hope
And flowers bloom
Autumn knocks at my door

I recognized it too early
I tasted the whims of fate too soon
I grew up too fast
Now my childhood days are lost
