They often say I look like I've got
_____
Everything, but they don't know
_____
The ghosts that haunt me and
_____
The requiems I sing to myself
_____
I play tough every passing day
_____
And the stones of every wall break someday
_____
I might be the rock they think
_____
But I'm more fragile than I want them to see
_____
Mom told me before leaving
_____
"Never show your weaknesses and in the worst
_____
Stay strong, swallow your tears
_____
‘Cause your pride'll stay your finest weapon"
_____
So I know how to laugh when I have to
_____
But don't believe it, I crack as soon as they turn their backs on me
_____
I walk straight so I won't bend
_____
Besides, I often sing so I won't scream
When I think about my life
_____
Every day that rises tells me that
_____
There's nothing to do, I'm alone in the world
_____
I can't stay quiet anymore, I'm alone in the world
I feel alone in the world
_____
I hate Christmas and all those stupid holidays
_____
Family stuff and everything that reminds me of my best life
_____
I'm jealous of you lucky ones
_____
Who take your flesh, your blood for granted
_____
I can't stand your pity
_____
I take your generosity the wrong way
_____
It's been a while I've been enough for myself
_____
That's not true but to stay strong, that's what I tell myself
_____
Whatever happens, I gotta stay in character
_____
Whatever happens, I can't lose control
_____
I think of me before the rest of the world
_____
‘Cause over the years I realized that
_____
If it's not me, it'll be nobody
_____
Not him, not you, nobody
_____
Down here it's every man for himself
_____
For the poor and proud loners like me
_____
When I think about my life
_____
Every day that rises tells me that
_____
There's nothing to do, I'm alone in the world
_____
I can't stay quiet anymore, I'm alone in the world
_____
I feel alone in the world
_____
That I'm alone in the world
_____
There's nothing to do, I'm alone in the world
_____
I can't stay quiet anymore, I'm alone in the world
_____
I feel alone in the world
