Why do you keep on complaining
When I can't do anything
To make your whole life better ?
Seriously, what's the matter ?

Why do you keep on screaming
When you know I'm just pretending
To listen to what you say,
Seriously, get out of my way.

Why do you keep on swearing
When people have done nothing
To make you call them a ***** ?
Seriously, walk out the door.

Why do you keep on singing
When you know it's annoying
To everybody around you ?
Seriously, I thought you knew.

And here we are, mum,
You're standing in my way,
Yelling at me once again ;
And I'm just not giving a ****
Because you can spit all your hate on me,
I will never change my attitude,
And you can keep threatening me,
I'll never do what you demand me to,
'Cause you know what, I'm not your slave,
You can't use me to do your ***** work,
Even though you can take all my belongings away,
I will stay here with my only pen,
And write all the truth all over my walls
Then on the floor
Then on my body if I need to.

You can't hold the truth in forever.

Stop trying to be perfect,
There's no reason to be worried
Everybody has a defect,
Everybody is a bit stupid.

Stop listening to those people
Who say you're not worth it,
They're just trying to hurt your soul,
Trying to **** your spirit.

Stop hiding your face
Under so much foundation,
Dark circles will not be erased,
It won't bring you admiration...

Stop everything. Just live. Just love.
Do something you like to do,
It will become all you can think of.
Don't let anything stop you.

Smile, because life is amazing,
And because you want to be happy
Smile, just spread your wings,
And be who you want to be.

Think about all those people around you,
Who think you are special
Think that their love is so true,
And that's why life is magical.

You have so many things to live for,
Smile, because you want to be someone,
And because you want to do more
Smile, because you want to be a free man.

*Smile. Life is beautiful.

My heart's now filled with melancholy,
My lungs with smoke, my eyes with tears,
My liver with a poison
That I drink to forget you.

I'm celebrating today
Four weeks of being all alone;
Four weeks of being dumped, violently
Oh, please pour me another drink.

And even though you've moved on,
We're staying friends, we're still talking ;
Oh darling of course you're still in my heart.

Of couse I'm still in love with you.
Of course I still wish I could hold you tight,
tight against me.

You can't imagine how much it hurts
To pretend I'm feeling good.
Nobody knows for real.

And what I talk to you, I can smell your perfume
It reminds me of all our nights together.
Nothing can harm me more..
Oh darling, of course I still love you.

Et je me dis que plus rien ne sera comme avant,
Je ne pourrai plus te dire que je t'aime,
ou que tu me manques.
Je ne pourrai plus te serrer contre moi,
embrasser ta nuque et rire avec toi.
Et même si tu pars bientôt,
que je ne risque pas de te revoir avant un certain temps,
c'est toi que mon coeur a choisie.
Et je continuerai de t'aimer.

I want to take the bits of you I love
and press them like flowers
between the pages of my favourite book
because I know these will never fade.

And I want to take all the scraps
that you dislike about yourself
and display them on my refrigerator
to show you I'm still proud
of the person you are
and of the person you are becoming.

But most of all, I want to spin you like a globe
and drag my fingers accross until it stops
to discover the pieces of you
that you've yet to reveal to anyone else.

I want to wrap them up in linen
and place them in an old cigar box,
I'd tuck it away safely
in the top drawer of my bedside table,
so you know I will never let
those pieces of you go

Because when you share
hidden parts of yourself
with someone else,
you're trusting that person
to hold the secret sections
of your heart,
and to love the bits you thought were unlovable.

Okay, it's true that when I first saw her,
Sparks flew in the air,
And that she was prettier,
When her fingers ran through her hair,

It's true that she has the most amazing smile,
Which kinda drives me crazy
And I could walk a thousand miles,
Just to make her happy.

It's true that she's beautiful,
And her eyes probably enlighten the dark,
But don't take me for a fool.
She's not playing with my heart.

But don't get me wrong,
This is not a love song.

Okay, it's true that look is really intense,
And her lips do look tasty,
She makes me lose my senses,
But I'm better off without anybody.

It's true, her smile is devastating,
And I feel good when I'm with her,
Her voice does sound amazing
When she sings, it makes my life better.

But don't get me wrong,
This is not a love song.

I love the way she walks around the parc
And the feeling of my skin against hers,
And it's true, the beating of my heart
Keep getting faster.

But no, I'm not in love,
I don't dream of her all the time,
She is not the only thing I can think of,
She's not always on my mind.

No, believe me when I say,
That you shouldn't get me wrong,
I have a billion ways
To prove that, this is not a love song.
This is not a love song.
This is.. a love song.

You got that smile
That makes me wanna
Jump on your body
And rip your clothes off.

I remember her, just one year ago
She was her mum's sweet little girl
And look at her now, as much as I know,
She's acting like she owns the world.

She's wandering the streets in broad daylight,
Dressed with that black miniskirt
She goes partying almost every night
Not to show how much she is hurt.

She thinks she's loved, popular and amazing
At school she's never left on her own
She looks at people as if they were nothing
And yet, they still follow her around.

She drinks a lot, too much maybe
Trash seventeen girl wants to act older
Remember last year she was just a baby,
Life has probably made her bitter.

Fashion's her passion, she thinks she is stylish
Wears too much makeup and glitter on her eye
And dressed like that, she just looks like a *****
She keeps talking about *** all the time.

She believes she is stable, has someone in her life
They're fine together, they're in love they say
But sometimes she just wanna grab a knife
And threaten everyone in her way.

She always pretends to feel good
But her mind thinks of other people
She acts grow up and keeps being rude,
She just wishes she could free her soul.

Homage to that gorgeous girl you saw today,
Who smiled at you and asked for a cigarette,
That girl that you will never see again,
And still, you haven't stopped thinking about her yet.

Last night she reached
the point of no-return
it's understandable
she's had enough
about every tiny thing
was wrong about her life
she just couldn't take it
anymore.
She tried to call her friends
nobody answered
why would they even bother?
She had a fight with her mother
she ended up crying
running to her room
locking herlsef inside
and for sure at that moment
she collapsed on her bed
tears streaming down her face
you can't imagine
how much like a prison it felt.
And just like usual
she thought about her first love
loved and lost
it made everything worse.
Then she remembered the people
who had left her behind
she thought about her father
and how much they hated each other
she thought about her grandparents
who can't even remember her name
she thought about her best friend
but didn't want to talk about it
and just like usual,
she thought of her lost love again
and again
and she cried because she knew
she would never see her again.

Then she thought
"****, if only I had a gun."

Life
feels empty
without
you.

I took out my key, opened the door
Watched the living room just for a second
Ran upstairs, left my suitcase on the floor
But this is all my fault, I reckon.

I'm sorry for the mean things I have said
And the bad things I have done,
I'm sorry I can't keep you out of my head,
I'm sorry if I miss you a billion.

I slowly stepped into my room,
With my eyes closed with fear
When I suddenly smelt your perfume,
I opened them and made everything appear.

I'm sorry for always being in a bad mood,
I'm sorry I can't be happy all the time
I'm sorry for the times I am so cruel
I'm sorry for thinking you're all mine.

I didn't look at my small bed
With a sad look on my face,
I just looked at the window instead,
I looked at all this empty space.

I'm sorry I can't live without you,
I'm sorry if this is too late
I'm so sorry but there is nothing I can do,
I just have to accept my fate.

I thought I could be strong enough
To understand, to start a new life here
To stop crying, to face the truth,
But I broke down in tears.

I'm sorry for always thinking too much,
I'm sorry for being such a baby
I'm sorry I really like your touch
I'm sorry for the times I act crazy.

I asked myself what I was going to do,
How on Earth I was going to survive
You're my everything and I'm nothing without you,
This is one of the things you don't realise.

I'm sorry for being a waste of your time,
Because you deserve much better than me
I'm sorry I can't get you out of my mind,
But you're just so amazing, and I'm just so me.

I sadly sat down on my bed,
My mind full of moments we had together
I suddenly remembered things I have said,
And they made my happy memories bitter.

I'm sorry for when I hurt your feelings,
Because I know I have but I didn't mean to
I'm sorry for saying stupid things,
That's just me and there's nothing I can do.

I looked up at the ceiling,
And watched the bulb slowly dying
I compared it to my life : close to the end
I can't stay so far away from my best friend.

I'm sorry for not being there when you need
Someone to talk to, or just hold you tight
I'm sorry for the times I was being stupid,
I'm sorry for keeping you awake at night.

I then stood up and just stayed there,
Imagining I was holding you in my arms,
I just watched the empty air
Tears in my eyes, shining like stars.

I'm sorry for spending the nights crying
When I should have been happy to be with you
I'm sorry I can be so annoying
I'm sorry I can feel something so true.

I slowly sat down at my desk,
Took a paper and a pen out of my drawer
Why did I do that ? It was grotesque
I started writing a poem about us together.

I'm sorry I'm too emotional,
I'm simply sorry for being me
But most of all,
I'm sorry for being sorry.

It used to be so peaceful and quiet,
Nothing would disturb me from my world.
It was closed and tight, like a small closet,
At the end of the day, on my bed, curled
in a ball, I would just close my eyes and rest,
Listening to my heartbeat through my chest.

It was just me, all alone,
And everything was always silent.
The outside world was completely unknown
I knew I'd have to go out soon, but I still hadn't.

It used to be so calm and nice,
I didn't move at all, I was just lying there,
Gently rocked by the waves, as cold as ice,
I didn't need to go anywhere.

But one day, all of a sudden,
The sea started moving, thunder started raging
Something massive took me out of my little Heaven,
I don't know what it was, I couldn't see anything.

My bed turned into a boat,
It was so quick, too quick
A scream tried to get through my throat,
When I realised I couldn't stop, I was too weak.

Something was pushing me out of my home,
An invisible force trying to get rid of me
I could feel it, pushing me towards the bottom
of my house, but then suddenly,
I got stuck between two walls.
My head was too big to get through,
But the force made me fall,
Out of my place, my life, everything I ever knew.

Two giant hands grabbed my head,
And a bright light blinded me
I started crying, a few words were said,
Something was wrapped around my small body.

Then someone cut the only thing
that still linked me to my home,
It was just me against everything,
I didn't understand what was going on.

But then, a young woman took me with her,
Tears in her eyes, skin soft like a pearl,
A man came and said to her :
''Congratulations, it's a girl !''

Why do I have to make such a fuss about everything ?
It's like I can't even control myself anymore
Why do I get mad at every tiny thing ?
This is not what I wished for.
I don't want to fight
For something I don't believe in,
Makes me cry at night,
And tears cannot be unseen.
I hate feeling so powerless,
What exactly am I supposed to do ?
Your kisses are like a carress,
But it hurts so much to be with you.

This is not what I expected love to be like.

I guess everyone has to wake up someday,
But I had dreams and hopes about this.
And sometimes, you throw our arguments away,
But they cannot be solved with a kiss !
So now, here I am, what do I do ?
Is there really a sense to our story ?
I know this feeling, I know I love you,
But you can't just keep hurting me.

I just wish you could understand.

Or is this all my fault ?

Baby, have you ever thought
Of the moment when we meet again ?
Maybe you'll enjoy my company, maybe not,
At least in my heart there'll be no rain.
It may be on a stormy Sunday,
Another love at first sight, like a lightning strike,
Or it might be in the pretty month of May,
Under the sun, a field full of flowers, riding bikes.
I don't know what will happen
The day we meet again,
I only know I'll be speechless, breathless, frozen,
I'll hem and haw, like when I was ten.
Can't know if it's been through your mind,
Have you ever thought about that ?
I can picture the moment a thousand times
I can feel it in my heart.
Look, I'm not saying it will be magical
'Cause we're humans ; humans make mistakes,
At worst I'll drown you in alcohol,
So you don't remember me when you awake.
Hey I know I haven't been the perfect girlfriend,
Took me 6 months to realise.
But I don't want our story to end,
I'll work it out.
I swear I won't try anything,
Holding my love back is what I do best
But if I may promise something :
If you tempt me, I'll do the rest.
Who said I wanted another chance ?
I never even dare to think about it,
All I can do is ask for a dance
And see you smile with your eyes lit.
Just seeing you.
Oh, my. That moment. Can't imagine it.
Just seeing your face after all I've been through.
That's my reward for all the time I've waited.

I am not expecting anything from you.
I'm just like, hey, long time no see.
I know the subject of "us" is taboo,
I just wanna make sure you're happy.

The rain woke me up in the middle of the night,
I looked at you sleeping peacefully
Tried to take the sheet, but you held it too tight,
I thought the world was opening up to me.

So I got out of the bed, walked out of the room,
Willing to see the world but not feeling so well
On my hands, there still was your perfume
I left a note on the table, as a farewell.

Finally outside, take a deep breath,
I keep telling myself "It's okay, it's alright"
Now I need to leave, go far away from Death
I have to walk under the moonlight.

Deep inside my mind are running ideas
Of what the world really is like,
Only a spark could take it down in ashes
Only happiness will make you stop the strike.

But first you have to find happiness,
And where to in this cruel world ?
You have to search and search again, unless
You've already found the rarest of pearls.

Leaves are cracking beneath my feet,
And I can feel the thin, cold breeze
The wind whispers with every heartbeat
With only myself, I'm feeling at ease.

Walking barefoot like Gandhi
Alone under the deep dark sky
With only stars for company,
I suddenly feel the need to cry.

This is such a beautiful night,
And yet nobody takes time to see the world like I do
People live blindfolded all their lives,
They cannot see the beauty, and neither can you.

You think about your problems and look for a solution,
Is this really the meaning of your life ?
Everybody constantly is in motion,
It's like they need to worry to survive.

Hit the pause button, even rewind if you need
You're avoiding something real somehow
Don't think, just watch, worry is a ****
This is a wonderful world, you just can't see it right now.

Sweet, sweet lady
You used to call me Baby
You used to say you loved me,
That we were a lifetime story.

'We are different from the others',
That's what you told me someday.
I was so happy when we were together
But then you threw all that away.

We used to spend every night
Making love to each other
But we didn't need a bed to be happy, right ?
Well that's what I thought till last december.

You stopped answering my phone calls
And decided to start ignoring me
It felt like the death of my soul,
What the hell was happening ?

I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't understand,
I asked you 'can we talk about it ?'
You called me a 'one-year stand'
*****, that doesn't ******* exist !

So you just broke up.
Like that. Stop.
Not a sign. Not a note.
End of the road.
"It's over. We're done.
It's not working out.
I like somebody else.
I found real love.
Let's just be friends.
I don't like you anymore.
It's not you, it's me.
I hate you.
You've changed too much.
You've hurt me.
You're not the one I fell in love with.
I hope you understand.
Don't be mad at me."

You had all those choices,
Which one did you choose ?

"I only stayed with you for ***."

My dear love
You used to call me Sweetheart
You used to hold me close,
And say 'nothing can tear us apart'.

Now everything's gone
You said we're done
And I'm left on my own,
Forever Alone.
