"It's the same outside,
Driving to the riverside,
I pretend to cry,
Even if I cry alone.

"I forgot the start,
Use my hands to use my heart,
Even if I die alone,
Even if I die alone.

"Since the first of June,
Lost my job and lost my room,
I pretend to try,
Even if I try alone.

"I forgot the part,
Use my hands to use my heart,
Even if I die alone,
Even if I die alone,
Even if I die alone,
Even if I die alone,
Even if I die."
