We were born alone

And we die alone, no

What a way to goNow I′m on my own

But I'm not sorry, no

Look at me go

Look at me high and low

Look at me picking myself back up from the underground, oh

I′ve died a few times before

I know what it's like when I can't see the light

I find a light of my own

Shine like a diamond

Like a lonely diamond

We were born alone

And we die alone

No, no, no, no, no

What a way to go

Now I′m on my own (now I′m on my own)

But I'm not sorry, no

Nobody′s your friend at the start or at the end, no

You can't take them with you when you′re dead, no

I'm a rebel, I′m a fighter

A brave outsider

The crowd gets thin

When the noose gets tighter

(Shine like a diamond)

'Cause I'm a lonely diamond, oh

We were born alone

And we die alone

No, no, no, no, no

What a way to go

Now I′m on my own (now I′m on my own)

But I'm not sorry, no

Shine like a diamond (no, no, no)

Like a lonely diamond

We were born alone

And we die alone

No, no, no, no, no

What a way to go

Now I′m on my own (now I'm on my own)

But I′m not sorry, no
