Seul Au Monde

People often say I seem to have
Everything going for me, but they don't know
About the ghosts that haunt me
The requiems that I sing to myself
I play tough every passing day
And the stones of every wall will one day break
I might be the rock they think I am
But I'm more fragile than I let on
Mom told me before she left:
Never show your weaknesses and in the worst
Stay strong, swallow your tears
Because your pride will remain your best weapon
So I know how to laugh when needed
But don't think I break down as soon as you turn your back
I walk straight to not bend
In fact, I often sing to not scream
When I think about life
I face my nights
Every day that rises tells me that...

Chorus
I'm alone in the world
There's nothing to do, I'm alone in the world
I can't keep quiet anymore, I'm alone in the world
I feel alone in the world

I hate Christmas and all its damn celebrations
Of family and everything that reminds me of my better life
I'm jealous of you lucky ones
Who take your flesh and blood for granted
I hate your pity
I take your generosity very badly
It's been a while since I've been self-sufficient
It's not true, but to be strong that's what I tell myself
Whatever happens, I have to stay in my role (yeah)
Whatever happens, I can't lose control (yeah)
I think of myself and forget the rest of the world
Because over the years I've realized
That if it's not me, it will be no one
Not me, not you, not anyone
Down here it's every man for himself
For the poor and proud loners like me
When I think of my life
Alone facing my nights
Every day that rises tells me that...

To the Chorus, x2

Sometimes I find love in the eyes of one
Sometimes I find a moment in the arms of another
And to all those who still love me,
Who love me wrongly, who love me too much
I owe you my survival, thank you again
It's just between us

To the Chorus, x2

Whatever happens
Whatever happens
Alone in the world, whatever happens...
Alone in the world...
