One by one they all fall down
Hopes and dreams fall to the floor
Curled up on the ground
She just can't take this anymore

One by one they all will break
Hopes and dreams that washed ashore
No longer will her heart ache
She won't have to suffer any more

One by one you all will see
How your words affected me
The floor stained with blood can't you see?
No longer will you hurt me

One by one they all fall down
Roses drifting to the ground
The note i clung to in my hand
I hope one day you'll understand...
