  • In any other world
    You could tell the difference
    And let it all unfurl
    Into broken remnants

    Smile like you mean it
    And let yourself let go

    'Cause it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
    Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
    Take a bow, play the part of a lonely, lonely heart
    Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
    To the world you thought you lived in

    I tried to live alone
    But lonely is so lonely, alone
    So, human as I am
    I had to give up my defenses

    So I smiled and tried to mean it
    To let myself let go

    'Cause it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
    Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
    Take a bow, play the part of a lonely, lonely heart
    Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
    To the world you thought you lived in

    'Cause it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
    Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
    Take a bow, play the part of a lonely, lonely heart
    Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
    To the world you thought you lived in

    Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
    Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
    Say goodbye

    In any other world
    You could tell the difference Writer/s: Michael Holbrook Penniman

  • Dr Nibedita Das from IndiaA beautiful creation from an philanthropist artiste Mika
  • Myky from RomaniaIn the end, all that matters is what's left of us. One way or another, everything ends. From my point of view, it matters not to be a great man but to be human and to let history judge you.
  • Tess from London Wow, it’s such an amazing song and I’m so pleased to know the meaning.
  • Alyssa from Spring Lake, MiI love this song, it's so pretty. And I always wondered about the introductory part. Now I know, and I think the song is that much better now. :)
