Every time she walked following her heart,
They came like a barrier and
tore her apart;
Somehow the girl stood again with her wounded knees,
Deep inside she sighed and said
“Oh! Little by little I’m losing a little bit of me.”

Her laugh was so loud that nobody could ever see,
Teary she’s out of laughter they believed;
A dreamer soul starts forgetting what is it to like dream,
“Oh! Little by little I’m losing a little bit of me.”
She screamed!

She Stared at stars the whole night,
Tried calming down the unsettling fight.
Got up the next morning with the heavy eyes,
Locked all her pain to keep it aside..

Then she stepped out to face the world again on the count of three;
Inside she sighed and said
“Oh!! Little by little I’m losing a little bit of me”
