Alleen Is Maar Alleen
Rob De Nijs Lyrics

Daar sta je dan alleen
The singer is alone and feeling lost.

Vrienden zeggen me, je komt er wel doorheen
Friends are trying to console the singer and offer hope.

Sinds je wegging weet ik niet meer wat ik doe
The singer is struggling to find meaning and direction without their loved one.

Ik leef niet meer, ik ben moe
The artist feels like they are merely existing and is exhausted by the pain they feel.

Maar wat doet het er nog toe
The artist is questioning the point of anything anymore since they feel so broken.

Ik slaap haast niet meer 's nachts
The singer is experiencing insomnia and struggling to find rest.

Elke morgen naar kantoor om kwart voor acht
The singer has a routine and life continues, but it feels empty and pointless without their loved one.

's avonds uit de diepvries, kant en klaar
The artist is going through the motions of daily life, but in a detached and unfeeling way.

De hond een brok tartaar
Even the artist's pet is a reminder of the person they miss and long for.

Mijn go, was jij hier maar
The artist wishes their loved one was still present with them and imagines how things could be different.

Want alleen is maar alleen
The singer believes that being alone means being incomplete and unsatisfied.

Ik kan niet leven met die stilte om mij heen
The artist is struggling with the emptiness and quiet of being alone.

Waar ik ga of waar ik sta of waar ik ben
The singer is haunted by memories of their loved one no matter where they go or what they do.

Op straat of in de tram
Even in public places, the singer is reminded of their lost relationship.

Ik hoor overal je stem
The singer imagines hearing their loved one's voice and is tormented by its absence.

En doof ik 's nachts het licht
Even in the darkness of night, the artist can't escape their loss.

Dan droom ik dat je naast me ligt
The artist dreams of their loved one being close to them once again and finds comfort in this.

Okay, je bent nu vrij
The singer acknowledges that their loved one is no longer with them and has chosen a different path.

Maar ben je echt zoveel vrijer dan bij mij?
The singer wonders if being without them is really making their loved one happier.

Ook met hem wordt het leven op den duur een sleur
The artist believes that even if their loved one is with someone new, they will eventually experience the same routine and boredom in life.

En wijst hij je dan de deur
The artist imagines their loved one being rejected by someone else, and worries for them.

Dan sta jij alleen
The artist believes that their loved one will be alone again, just like they feel now.

Soms vertel ik het de mensen om me heen
The singer confides in others about their struggles and pain.

Kom terug voordat mijn wereld is vergaan
The artist pleads for their loved one to return, believing that they can't go on without them.

Ik smeek je, kijk mij aan
The singer begs for their loved one's attention, desperate for any connection or acknowledgement.

Wat heb ik je misdaan
The singer is confused and feels undeserving of being left behind.

Nee, hou je maar stil
The singer tries to silence their own pleas and emotions, knowing that they won't change the situation.

Ik voel nu wel dat jij me nooit meer wil
The artist has accepted that their loved one has moved on and doesn't want to be with them anymore.
