Lyrics
Seal of Approval
Verse 1:
People, Your sharpened tongue can still hurt me
Feelings, Messed around by twisted words.
Danger, At every crossing points and turns.
Angel, A disguise for devil's work you are
Chorus:
I've come to the point where I don't care if i make it anymore
I know you're wrong
So i will try to stay
You could kill me off with your brilliance
Flash me a smile and watch me
melt away
Verse 2:
Stranger, I don't know why you don't approve of me.
Listen, to the emotions I am pouring into this.
Hope, standing hand in hand with destiny
But you, ruined everything, I'm history
Chorus:
I've come to the point where I don't care if i make it anymore
I know you're wrong
So i will try to stay
You could kill me off with your brilliance
Flash me a smile and watch me
melt away
