Partir Quand Même

Leaving anyway
While he sleeps
While he dreams
And there's still time

Leaving anyway
At the peak
Breaking the chains
That bind me to his fate
Will turn me into dead weight
An object of the scenery

Leaving anyway
Before he wants
To clip my wings
And tame my pride

Leaving anyway
Leaving first
Exiting the stage
In one final effort
Before saying: I love you
Before the trap closes

Leaving anyway

Remaining master
Of his games and my mysteries
Disappear
From his sight, no longer giving a sign

Before I can no longer
Go back
Before it's too late
To avoid the war
Before saying I love you
Knowing how to leave anyway
