once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in

"Yuffie, come on!" He yelled, hurrying to the Airship.
"I've got to find my father, go on! I'll be there soon!" She yelled back. She took off, leaving Cloud alone.

every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been

She never got the chance to go to the Airship. Godo was dying as Yuffie found him. She took him, and went back. But by then, it was too late. They had left her…

She ran to the Midgar church where Tifa, Vincent, Barret, and Marlene were. They were fighting back the Heartless fiercely, not stopping.

well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
when covers tucked in tight

Now there weren't as many Heartless as there were that night. Most citizens had died or went on the Airship that night. Tifa, Barret, Marlene, and Vincent stayed at Tifa's new Seventh Heaven. Yuffie lay in bed, thinking about the past. She hugged the covers of her bed tighter around her small body. She began to dream of before the Heartless were here. Before she suffered…

funny when the bottom drops
how she forgets to fight... to fight
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise

The next night, she stood in front of the mirror. She had lost herself, bags under her eyes, her hair was messy and uncut, her skin as pale and her face bony. Her eyes were hollow, no longer filled with light. One time Tifa had even made her take Anti-depressant pills. Those didn't help…

as darkness quickly steals the light
that shined within her eyes

She opened the mirror where all the medicine was. She took a large bottle of Ibuprofen, and opened the bottle. She dumped a large handful of the pills in her hand. She then stared at them, ready to make a decision.

she slowly swallows all her fear
and soothes her mind with lies

I'll see him again… I'll be happy. No more Heartless…

well all she wants and all she needs
are reasons to survive

But maybe I'm being selfish? I doubt it. They wouldn't care. Nobody would care. Nobody has spoken to me in two weeks…

a day in which the sun will take
her artificial light... her light

She took the pills in her mouth, and swallowed them. She felt dizzy, then everything blacked out.
and it's one more day in paradise

one more day in paradise
it's one more day in paradise
one last chance to feel alright... alright

"Marlene, go get Yuffie for dinner," Tifa ordered. The young girl of eight nodded, and then rushed up the stairs.

She walked into Yuffie's bedroom, surprised to see her door shut. She opened it, and then looked about the room. She walked into the bathroom, and saw the young teenager on the floor… sleeping?

don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
don't pretend to hold it in just push it out
don't you try to hold it in just let it out and
don't you try to hold it in you hold it in

Marlene knelt beside Yuffie. "Yuffie, wake up!" She said cheerfully. Marlene frowned when she didn't receive a response. "Yuffie…?"

once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been
