On Ne Vit Pas Sans Se Dire Adieu

We don't live without saying goodbye
We don't live without dying a little
Without letting go to move on
On our path, something or someone

I came to say goodbye
A memory always dies a little
I wanted to know what I have left
From the only love that ever mattered

I came to say goodbye
Or if you prefer, goodbye to us two
Like the day you made me cry
Telling me goodbye forever

Oh, it wasn't your fault, I know
I know everything that was going to happen, come on
Your dad and everything he could tell you
Your studies to finish, your service, your future
And that girl isn't for you
Today you're someone else
Everything ends well, when
But damn, how I loved you
I was sixteen, sixteen

We don't live without saying goodbye
We don't live without dying a little
I wanted tonight to stop time
The time to say goodbye to my sixteen years
I wanted to say goodbye to my sixteen years
Before heading towards what awaits me
