The world will tell you lies, my dear;
the scars they leave will bleed.
"Your dreams will never dare come true!"
"You're delusional, a fool!"
"Precisely who d'you think you are, little girl?"
"You never will do better."
Oh, the world will tell such lies, my dear,
lies you can't believe.
"She's such a slave to scandal!"
"What did he see in her?"
"She'll not hold him close again!"
"She's quite shameless in her pride."
Dear girl, don't you believe those lies;
folks tell them out of greed.
"He'll never look at me the same."
"He'll never hold me dear."
"I'll never tell him how I feel!"
"Good god! Why should I live?!"
Sweet girl, they are such foolish lies.
You're strong enough, you see.
You're strong enough to stand alone,
strong enough to fly.
What need have you of simple fools?
You'll be all right. You'll see.

It's a bit of a blend of the two. Hope it helps, and best of luck to you.
