Lyrics: Why Even Try ? (A Quoi a Sert ?)

(Francoise Hardy) adaptation anglaise Alan Clayre

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 ?
