It's true I lived like I had nothing left to lose

Always the same mistakes and the same old song

Always the same fears I smothered in the night

Please let it rain so I can stay in bed

I lived like I knew this wouldn't last long

I wanted to be old, yeah, but I couldn't picture it anymore

It's weird to think I probably had it all wrong

It's hard to say but in my heart it's never pretty

My God, tell me what I'm doing here

Too often I wonder why me

I hope, my God, you'll forgive me

This world is crazy, my God, and you know it better than me

Nothing ever taught me how to find happiness

I spent a lifetime chasing a little peace inside the pain

From everything that burned me, all I had to carry

It's not that easy, you know, but they say it's gonna be alright

When I think back today, I tell myself it was simple

I just had to love myself but it was so hard

So I looked in others for what I should've given myself

And since things have to change, this time I won't give up on me

My God, tell me what I'm doing here

Too often I wonder why me

I hope, my God, you'll forgive me

This world is crazy, my God, and you know it better than me

My God, tell me what I'm doing here

Too often I wonder why me

I hope, my God, you'll forgive me

This world is crazy, my God, and you know it better than me

So that's it, that's what hurting feels like

I thought I was strong but now I know

That the dull noise of silence in the end

Creates wounds that never heal

In this room that heard everything

The days went by and nothing had flavor anymore

We don't explain the misunderstandings

We just close our eyes and hang on

My God, tell me what I'm doing here

Too often I wonder why me

I hope, my God, you'll forgive me

This world is crazy, my God, and you know it better than me

My God, tell me what I'm doing here

Too often I wonder why me

I hope, my God, you'll forgive me

This world is crazy, my God, but you know it better than me

SONG MEANING

Mieux Que Moi feels like reading pages from Slimane’s most private journal. From the first line he admits he has been living as if he had nothing left to lose, drowning his fears in long nights and praying for rain so he can hide in bed. Each chorus is a pleading conversation with God, full of Why me? questions that reveal deep doubt and exhaustion with a “crazy world” that seems to know him better than he knows himself.

Yet beneath the heavy honesty shines a quiet spark of hope. Slimane realizes that the real battle is learning to love himself, instead of searching for validation in others. By vowing not to abandon himself anymore, he turns the song into a gentle reminder that self-acceptance can transform pain into strength. The result is a raw but uplifting anthem for anyone who has ever wondered if they will make it through — and a promise that, yes, it’s going to be okay.
