[01:28.550]Just didn’t know what to do and how to deal with it,
[01:31.370]Even now deep down I still live it.
[01:33.790]To think, I used to blame me,
[01:35.770]I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me.
[01:38.060]I wasn't even 5, life’s a journey and mine wasn’t an
[01:40.950]easy ride.

[02:32.690]times
