Il Fallait Bien

It had to happen
That one day I’d feel
This sudden pain
That they call love
It had to happen
That I’d believe in it
So that one morning
It would leave me bruised

Love comes and goes, love fades away
Just a laugh and then the tears
And the silence all around me
The memory that’s already born
Love was so beautiful next to you

It had to happen
To hold you tight
To grasp your hands
To keep you here with me

It had to happen
To cling to you
When nothing else
Could hold me back
It had to happen
To save my happiness
By the means
That my heart allowed

They burn the fires of hell
And in my soul and in my flesh
You left me only regrets
And the remorse of not having done
Maybe not everything I should have

It had to happen
To pay the price
And my sorrow
Has shattered my life
