Rien ne reste

Don't say that time passes
That you wish I could hug you
Don't say that people leave one day
That love sometimes eats away at you
Even always

Don't say that love hurts
That you ignore my promises
Don't say that I fade away
I know very well that everything makes me anxious
Crushes me

Don't tell me that's life
Yes, that's life
Infinitely
Don't tell me it's so sad
That it's inevitable
That it's normal
That nothing remains

If you never stop
Refusing all my gestures
Of tenderness
Don't tell me that I pour myself out
That love often prevents me
From being frank

Don't tell me that's life
Yes, that's life
Infinitely
Don't tell me it's so sad
That it's inevitable
That it's normal

Don't tell me not that that's life
Yes that's life
This female dog of a life
Don't tell me it's so sad
That it's inevitable
That it's normal
But nothing remains
