I'm just standing in the dark
Illusions make me smile
And I laugh, and I love and I try
To understand - why?

Why there is so little justice?
And why there is so little love?
And why I don't know what trust is?
And now I already can't laugh.

I don't say it isn't good
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
I don't want to cry, but I would
Although I have to be strong.

At the edge of sanity
I'm standing in the dark
And smile, it is such a sad smile
oh why - why?
