À Quoi Ça Sert Lyrics in English Françoise Hardy

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song À Quoi Ça Sert by Françoise Hardy from French to English.
Comme toi, j'ai un cœur
Like you, I have a heart
Qui ne peut rien promettre
That can't promise anything
À qui l'amour fait peur
To those whom love scares
Mais qui t'aime, peut-être
But who loves you, maybe
À quoi ça sert de le cacher?
What’s the use of hiding it?
À quoi ça sert d'y échapper?
What’s the use of escaping it?
Je n'ai rien à t'offrir
I have nothing to offer you
Que ce que mes yeux voient
But what my eyes see
Tu ne veux pas souffrir
You don't want to suffer
Mais qui ne souffre pas?
But who doesn't suffer?
À quoi ça sert de l'éviter?
What’s the use of avoiding it?
À quoi ça sert de t'en aller?
What’s the use of leaving?
À rester dans ta tour d'ivoire
To stay in your ivory tower
En broyant du rose ou du noir
Grinding pink or black
Tout seul, tout seul
All alone, all alone
Comme on n'est pas très malheureux
As we are not very unhappy
On oublie qu'on n'est pas heureux
We forget that we are not happy
Tout seul, tout seul
All alone, all alone
Je n'ai que les étoiles
I only have the stars
Et rien d'autre pour toi
And nothing else for you
Si l'on doit se faire mal
If we have to hurt ourselves
C'est la vie qui veut ça
It's life that wants that
À quoi ça sert de rester seul?
What’s the use of staying alone?
À quoi ça sert de vivre seul?
What’s the use of living alone?
Je n'ai que les étoiles
I only have the stars
Et rien d'autre pour toi
And nothing else for you
Si l'on doit se faire mal
If we have to hurt ourselves
C'est la vie qui veut ça
It's life that wants that
À quoi ça sert de rester seul?
What’s the use of staying alone?
À quoi ça sert de vivre seul, tout seul?
What’s the use of living alone, all alone?
