Françoise Hardy - Why Even Try (A quoi ca sert)

our two hearts are the same
they could turn out untrue
we don't want to feel pain
yet maybe I love you
why even try to go away
why even try to hide away

I've got nothing to share
just this world my eyes see
but if it's pain that fear
pain lets no-one go free
why even try to steal away
why even try to run away

or to stay in your ivory tower
grow in peace like some secret flower
alone - alone

when the pain is a little less
we forget there's no happiness
alone - alone

share the stars in the sky
for they're all I can give
share these tears we must cry
if we love, if we live
why even try to stay alone
why even try to live alone

share the stars in the sky
for they're all I can give
share these tears we must cry
if we love, if we live
why even try to stay alone
why even try to live alone
alone -
