[English]

Another rose, another pose, another foe, the color grows

All much to your dismay

The record shows, I took the blows, I let it flow and so it goes

But you're not looking away

I can see you're not taking it well

I can see you're not taking it well at all

I can see you're not faking it well

I can see you're not faking it well at all

Why's it have to be this way?

You're living in a world that's void of shame

You'd rather sing the same old song like everyone

Why'd you have to be the same?

I think you lost yourself along the way

You sit and sing the same old song like everyone

Another tool, another fool your ridicule

Is such a jewel I treasure to this day

Another move, another groove, another truth

You disapprove until you're red in the face

I can see you're not taking it well

I can see you're not faking it well at all

Why's it have to be this way?

You're living in a world that's void of shame

You'd rather sing the same old song like everyone

Why'd you have to be the same?

I think you lost yourself along the way

You sit and sing the same old song like everyone

I'm not here to bargain

I'm begging for your pardon

Watch me fly away

Why's it have to be this way?

You're living in a world that's void of shame

You'd rather sing the same old song like everyone

Why'd you have to be the same?

Losing yourself along the way

You sit and sing the same old song like everyone

Like everyone
