This time seems to never change 
The more I give and the less I earn 
Five years since I moved into Rome 
Where an empire was born and a god died nearly alone

the city lights are the only sun I know 
you feel better if they tell you you're different 
you are unique but there's something you should know 
you are not enough for this city not enough for this world

If I'm not good enough just tell me who deserves to live this life alone 
this life alone

This pain seems to never end 
The more I love and the more it hurts 
Five years to make my [bad word] real 
And just one second to erase 'em all 
Those empty streets were the only land I knew 
I felt better if they told me I was different 
Was I unique was there something I should know 
Was I enough for this city and enough for this world

If I'm not good enough just tell me who deserves to live this life alone 
Well if it's not enough just tell me who deserves to walk this path alone 
This life alone

This pain seems to never end 
the more it hurts the less I pretend 
to be here to be alive still 
If I can't face this I wonder who ever will 
The city lights are the only sun I know 
I feel better now I know that I'm different

If I'm not good enough just tell me who deserves to live this life alone 
Well if it's not enough just tell me who deserves to walk this path alone 
Well if it's not enough
