Why Even Try - Françoise Hardy

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?
