Lyrics & Translation
Sometimes I wonder if the girls and boys are so cruel
Where are my true friends
Why do I distrust
What could we have done with all these sacrifices
Yes, no one is faithful, but life must always remain beautiful
And it doesn't matter if Man remains so cruel to those he loves
We must surely forgive, set our ego aside
Why does everyone lie and deceive
Until they drag themselves into total misery
To give my trust and my heart
Why does it scare me so much
Is it really normal
No, it's not normal
And me
I don't want to be the good fool anymore
I don't want to waste my life with stories
That always end in tears or nightmares
I don't want to dwell in darkness anymore
I have no more self-esteem
I have no more esteem for you
Too bad for that
Too bad for that
I continue on my path
You are already very, very far away
Very far behind me
Very far behind me
Yes, it was a beautiful story
To finally silence my struck gaze, without looking back
I leave as I came, even more disappointed
And the worst of it all is that I remain a stranger to you
For pity's sake, stop stabbing me in the back
Or my body will end up becoming
A net of scars that will only hold the bad sides of you in me
From now on, I can't take it anymore
I want to go very, very far away
I cry and I sniffle
It's the tear too many that overflows my eyes and has made me unhappy
But where is the world going
Where is the world going
But where is the world going
Why every time I try to do well
Things always go wrong
Why do people lie
Why do people deceive
Do you also sometimes wonder why life is so complicated
Especially when two people love each other and seem to be good together
It seems so easy
So how come every time it ends in tears
I can't take it anymore with these trivial stories
I can't take it anymore with all these tormentors
And all these victims
Man contradicts himself all day long
He doesn't know what he wants and that's why we hurt each other
Is it really normal
There are questions where I know I will never find the answer
There are things we can do nothing about
We must surely mock it and get through
But me
I will no longer be the good fool
I don't want to waste my life with stories
That always end in dramas or nightmares
I don't want to dwell in darkness anymore
