Les Jours Tristes

It’s hard,
But you know it’s worth the fight,
‘Cause you know you?ve got the truth on your side,
When the accusations fly.
Hold tight!

Don’t be afraid of what they’ll say.
Who cares what cowards think anyway,
They will understand one day,
One day

It’s hard,
Hard, when you’re here all alone
And everyone else’s gone home.
Harder to know right from wrong
When all objectivity’s gone
And it’s gone.
But you still
Carry on

‘Cause you,
You are the only one left
And you’ve got to clean up this mess.
You know you’ll end up like the rest
Bitter and twisted – unless
You stay strong
And you
Carry on

It’s hard,
But you know it’s worth the fight,
‘Cause you know you've got the truth on your side,
When the accusations fly.
Hold tight!
Don’t be afraid of what they’ll say.
Who cares what cowards think anyway,
They will understand one day,
One day
