In another life, my dear,
I hate that saying, we are just hoping
But somehow it’s giving up
We just say….
Maybe in another life we will be together
Why can’t it be now?
Maybe in another life, we will be parents
They say as they’re losing hope and giving up trying to be
See you in another lifetime
She says as she is taking her last breath
He says I WILL LOVE U IN EVERY LIFETIME, See you in another lifetime
As they’re breaking up
Maybe in another life I would have been PRETTIER, SMARTER, SKINNIER
We say in desperation to be something we are not
Maybe in another life, we will not be from a broken home
They say as their parents fight for custody in court
Maybe is hope.
Another life we just say we hope
Life a lifetime of someone living that could not be replaced
Hoping is a feeling of wishing and hoping for something to happen
Life is a rollercoaster of ups and downs
Hoping for our another lifetime to be perfect
Everything we hoped for to come true
Is it giving up???
I don’t know how and what
Should I lose hope
HOPE
HOPE
HOPE
Maybe in another life it will be him
Why can’t it be him now?
In another lifetime, i will get the schoolership
Why can’t I get it now? Work harder, smarter
in another life i would be
Why not work harder now
In another life
another life
another life
Hopes dreams wishes that do come true
Is hoping bad ?
Is it giving up?
Will it happen ?
Is there even another life?
Will everything we hope for come true
In another life my dear ……
