You don't know how many people I've seen lose their mind
Around my heart, I've raised a wall of cement
I leave out everything else
Fake those smiles on the face
By now, I've gotten used to it
How many caresses turn into slaps
How many hugs then become a cage
Black van, tinted windows
Packs of cash, groupies in the back
Why do you still feel so lonely, still so lonely?
Michelin stars, photos with flash
Being out until three, groupies in the hotel
Why do you still feel so lonely, still so lonely?
Yeah, all done by myself
All night awake over a sound
Grocery shopping with promo money
And when I got my first gold record
To find out it wasn't made of gold
Another slap that made me a man
Convinced that this environment would clean me up
Call an ambulance, there's a wounded one
Behind two black lenses, I write and drink Ceres in the Mercedes Vito
She enters my bed without an invitation
Twenty-one hotels, three weeks
Call me if you feel unwell
Studio apartment or five-star sea view
But every room in this darkness is always the same
Black van, tinted windows
Packs of cash, groupies in the back
Why do you still feel so lonely, still so lonely?
Michelin stars, photos with flash
Being out until three, groupies in the hotel
Why do you still feel so lonely, still so lonely?
If it's just for interest, I can read it in your eyes
People change their face, their ideas for a few bucks
For a dream, I closed doors, broke a lot of relationships
So lonely, this house seems like a safe
You said, 'You don't recognize me anymore, I'm your opposite'
But I wish everything that's mine could be ours
And at the end, a watch on the wrist, a necklace on
It's just gold that shines
It won't fix things
So cold my heart in my chest that
I won't need ice in this glass
And what I lost didn't have a price written on it
But then you realize and it's too late to get it back
Black van, tinted windows
Packs of cash, groupies in the back
Why do you still feel so lonely, still so lonely?
Michelin stars, photos with flash
Being out until three, groupies in the hotel
Why do you still feel so lonely, still so lonely?
I thought that maybe there's no place for me
Everything I have doesn't fill the void
Why do I still feel so lonely?
