*harmonic-ed
If you play along with the video it's pretty easy to follow. Again,
I just posted this the people who were confused with the video,
or did not see the video. Thanks [here's the link for her tutorial:
She's goes pretty all-out with this, putting a ton of emotion that
is pretty impossible to do :) so, of course, it won't sound exactly the
same, but just keep trying and the strumming and everything will fall
in place--don't obsess over trying to copy her every move
Apollo

And look at more of Kina's videos cuz she is the best in the world :)

Lyrics:

Verse:
I feel defeated again
I'm always losing to myself
I tried to build a better me,
Shack to castle, and it fell down

Verse:
I had the right intentions
Sometimes my hope envelopes me
And I can't learn the lesson
Not to send a goldfish to the sea

Chorus:
This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine.
I'm not going to give it up.

Verse:
I know what you've been thinking
Too soon to empty my cocoon
This butterfly's not ready
Wouldn't she know better than you

Chorus:
This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine
I'm not going to give it up.
