Si Je Perds

I feel like a flea market, I'm the mean one
If my children invite me, I act unhappy
And when they visit me, I'm the transparent one
I look pale like myself, I sob
My children clean me, strangers take me out
To think when I see myself that I'm already dead

If I lose my memory, there's no need to worry
It's just that my life is at the end of a sad day
If I lose my mind, there's no need to blame yourself
If this is no longer my home, leave me in the hallway

If I lose my grip, and if it worries you
If it hurts you too much, or I no longer know who you are
And if I lose my marbles, don't have too much pity
My head is a crowd of forgotten faces

I feel like a thrift store, I become a mummy
My children move me around like an old manuscript
And my pages are breaking, I am poorly written

I feel strange, I dress too late
If I think back to the moments when I raced against time without saying goodbye

If I lose my memory, there's no need to worry
It's just that my life is at the end of a sad day
If I lose my mind, there's no need to blame yourself
If this is no longer my home, leave me in the hallway

If I lose my grip, and if it worries you
If it hurts you too much, or I no longer know who you are
And if I lose my marbles, don't have too much pity
My head is a crowd of forgotten faces

If I lose my memory, there's no need to worry
It's just that my life is at the end of a sad day
If I lose my mind, there's no need to blame yourself
If this is no longer my home, leave me in the hallway

If I lose my grip, and if it worries you
If it hurts you too much, or I no longer know who you are
And if I lose my mind, don't have too much pity
Soon I will be foolish and you will have forgotten me
