How?
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
How to say goodbye
To someone you just met?
How to close your eyes
Knowing you'll regret?
How to say I'm sorry
When everything's been said
How to leave all worries
When you just saw new threat?
And I know it will be hard
But it's important to go on
Feel every ending as new start
And you'll feel like
Fell like you can take no more
How to love the dark side
When you just want some light?
How to walk the world wide
When evryone just lie?
How to tell apart
Life lived and full of death?
How to heal ones heart
That way too long has bled?
And I know it might be hard
To see the worth of going on
Feel every ending as new start
And every pain won't be
Won't be important anymore
