Le Départ

I slipped out the door while you were still asleep.
I left the keys on the table by the entrance.
I picked up my stuff that was lying around, babe.
I think I only left my regrets.

Earlier, by the force of things (you'll search)
You’ll look for the reasons when you wake up.
An unexpected departure whose meaning and faults you don’t know yet.
Finding these words on a piece of paper,
You give me the strength to finally confess.

Chorus
Then I twisted,
Then I got scared,
Then I thought,
But you’ll act like my doubts, and my fears were just temporary.
I considered all our fake laughs, our mistakes, without ever blaming you.
But I weighed the pros here, the cons elsewhere.
I’m scared I won’t know how to love anymore.

Like a queen, you carried me, you wrapped me up, you gave me
More than a lifetime of love, a whole century.
But I could never measure up to doing the same.
Do you understand? I preferred to write it down, to tell you.
But I can’t keep lying to you, lying to myself, letting go, destroying us, letting you hate me.
I’m suffocating...

Chorus

I leave my heart at the door {2X}
And these words under the porch {2X}
My love, don’t hate me {2X}
One day you’ll understand {2X}
One day you’ll forget me {2X}
One day you’ll forgive {2X}
Even if for you today...

Chorus {2X}
