teenage song from New Journey by Lisa Li

Woke up in the light,
Dreams dissolved like stars at night.
I miss the world where things felt right
I guess I’m just a person
Who shows the best version
Wanna make everyone say：
“You’re so spark”
“Like a star”
But my pressure hanging on
Maybe it’s fine,
Maybe I will understand
If I let go with my hand
The people all around me
Even my closest friends
There are things they’ll never comprehend
I guess I’m dropping in the black hole I created
Cause every sentence they say sounds like
“You’re a fool”
“You aren’t good”
And I'm barely holding on
Maybe it’s fine
Maybe I will understand
If I let go with my hand
Oh～
I'm stuck in this silence,
Oh～
My brain's tired but still a fighter
There's a light inside me you may have never seen.
Watch it grow... it’s just a matter of time.
I’m not great
Unlike their state
But I know who I want to be
Maybe it’s hard
Maybe they won’t understand
But I won’t let go with my hand
