A quote by Ayu I'm looking for

I'm not sure if it was a lyric or an actual quote, but it was something along the lines of, "I was not born to live." I feel like there's more to the quote, but now I'm doubting myself and thinking that the quote I provided is the one and only line.

Any help is appreciated!

* We were not born to live
Just putting on a front
And hiding a face
Like the dead
From Marionette, it seems.

Basically says: "We were not born to be something that we are not" or something like that.

^ Thanks for your help, but that wasn't it.

I wish there were more clues I could provide, but what I said in my first post is really all I can remember.

Quote:
I was born alone. I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.
Is it this, from A Song for XX?

That phrase only pops up in these songs, so it could've been a random translation. Oi, it's hard to find these sorts of things.

^ It is hard, as it could be from anywhere, but I really appreciate your help.

I want to say it was from some kind of interview or magazine. I think she was talking about how she wasn't born to live, but rather to fulfill something... I don't know. I know it's not the, "I myself am a dream," quote.

It's might be from TimeAsia interview.

How about this?

"There are people who you influence you, and people who hurt you, and sometimes people whom you hurt. But in the end, if you don’t realize things on your own and have the desire to change it, then you’ll never change. Because I don’t want to be living just because I was born."

from Oricon interview about MY STORY

That was an INCREDIBLE find. Bravo!

I remember that interview vaguely but I didn't think that it was from Oricon Style. Good job!
