I don't want to die before I am dead
Bijoya Khomdram *
I know I am weak
But feel so strong inside
I don't want any mercy and
I don't want to see
That sympathy for me on your eyes
I don't want to die before I am dead
I want to get moulded into the best version of me
Good children never say no to their parents
Is what I believe
If they are happy then I am happy
You may think I am helpless
And lost my ability
Coz I am doing nothing
Staying at home like a lazy dog
But you know I am doing my best I can ever do
I know I am not perfect
But feel so perfect from inside
Being able to do my best as a daughter
I don't want any mercy and
I don't want to see
That sympathy for me on your eyes
I don't want to die before I am dead
