Lyrics:\r
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
[Aoke]\r
Weve had it rough since we got started.\r
\r
[Hareka]\r
Uh-oh.\r
\r
[Aoke]\r
And dont we all just want to thrive\r
in a warm and loving place?\r
We dreamed, we sang, we swore forever\r
but now our hearts have worn,\r
we didnt ask for war.\r
This is not the end! (x4) \r
\r
When we started up this idol group, two years ago,\r
our songs were mocked if not ignored.\r
\r
[Bee]\r
and the names that they called us. Oh.\r
\r
[Aoke]\r
We should have known that we would have our rivals\r
and, by our rivals fans,\r
\r
[Aoke] [Keiko]\r
we were dragged through someones spit on the floor.\r
\r
[Aoke]\r
Sometimes it hurts so bad that I dont want to get up so-\r
\r
Build, in us, a dream thats worth great suffering.\r
That a heart might come to grow\r
and that that has some sort of meaning.\r
Make for us a journey thats worth crying for.\r
That a heart might come to know\r
that it is valued and adored.\r
\r
This is not the end. (x3)\r
Keep singing: This is not the end.\r
\r
Start up the second year.\r
Two members quit, right here.\r
But I dont blame them with no fans to show.\r
\r
Then it happened: something that we cant explain.\r
\r
[Keiko]\r
Uwah-uh-a-ah.\r
\r
[Aoke]\r
Offered a gig that lead to fame!\r
They were chanting our names and we were finally idolized.\r
We were voted to perform on the Top Ten Idol stage.\r
\r
Finally all our hard hard work started to pay off so-\r
\r
Build, in us, a dream thats worth great suffering.\r
That a heart might come to grow\r
and that that has some sort of meaning.\r
Make for us a journey thats worth crying for.\r
that a heart might come to know\r
that it is valued and adored.\r
I guess Im trying to say that Ive come to believe\r
that this lifes not meant to be easy.\r
Like theres a reason for our suffering.\r
Like theres a reason we should chase these dreams.\r
I guess Im trying to say that Ive come to believe\r
that pain is, ultimately, there\r
to show us value, to show its worth us being here.\r
\r
Now, back to the story.\r
Yeah, it gets a little dark, from here.\r
I remind you all,\r
this is not the end. This is not the end.\r
When the bomb went off, back stage,\r
we were sitting pretty far away.\r
The bomb was hidden in our baggage\r
and the world wanted someone to blame.\r
Everyone pointed right at us\r
but we were framed, we didnt cause their pain.\r
We lost all our loving fans.\r
and that love had turned to hate.\r
and now were here, on our third year\r
to give it one more shot to redeem our name.\r
Some members left and thats okay.\r
Its a pretty dark world, out there, today.\r
\r
[Keiko]\r
Every time we step into this place,\r
this school, this nightmare of hate,\r
we gotta put up with the wrongs\r
that we didnt create.\r
I cant even count the days\r
where all I want to do is sleep,\r
\r
[Keiko] [Hareka]\r
hold my pillow tight against my face\r
while I scream and weep.\r
\r
[Keiko]\r
I cant even count the times Ive\r
\r
[Keiko] [Bee]\r
seen someone spit in my food.\r
\r
[Keiko]\r
I cant even count the times weve\r
\r
[Keiko] [Aoke]\r
been pushed around, and bruised.\r
\r
[Hareka] [Aoke]\r
I wish it all would go away.\r
I wish it all would go away.\r
\r
[Hareka]\r
So – Please.\r
\r
Build, in us, a dream thats worth great suffering.\r
That a heart might come to grow\r
and that that growth has some sort of meaning.\r
\r
[Aoke] [Hareka]\r
Make for us a journey thats worth crying for.\r
that a heart might come to know\r
that it is valued and adored.\r
\r
[Aoke]\r
I guess Im trying to say that Ive come to believe\r
that this lifes not meant to be easy.\r
Like theres a reason for our suffering.\r
Like theres a reason we should chase these dreams.\r
I guess Im trying to say that Ive come to believe\r
that pain is, ultimately, there\r
to show us value, to show its worth us being here.
