And when they say that it’s very bad that I’m lonely

I say that everything has its reason

People have become very sick today

Minds are intertwined with new lies.

EVERYTHING WILL BE OK

And when they say that it’s very bad that I’m lonely

I say that everything has its reason

People have become very sick today

Minds are intertwined with new lies

What else is left in me to tell myself

That it will get better one day, and it won’t

As long as I continue to think badly of myself

That’s how it will be for me

Everything will be okay, I tell myself

Although I’m lying if I dream of my own well-being

Because in every charity I lose my mind

Just because I give myself to others easily

And it’s not wrong that I’m different from most

It’s just the way I work that’s wrong

I trust everyone blindly while others break me

And I don’t tell my state of mind at all

But one day when everything turns around

People will realize how wrong these times are

And there’s still some reason left in the bosom of my soul

I still hope for changes, but it’s not working!
