J'ai Laissé

I admit it’s not happiness
I used to live for love
And today I don’t have my soulmate anymore
I listen to my pain
And the silence is heavy
Seconds feel like hours
I imagine what you say, what you do, what you think
I sense what you’re living with him in my absence

I let go
The flowers in the garden wither
I let go
Your scent on the pillow
I let go
The shutters closed all summer
To not see the day rise again

I admit it’s not happiness
I dreamed of love
Today I don’t have the heart for it
I taste and I brush
Our 'I love yous' forever
That are slowly dying
I imagine what he told you, what he does to you, what he thinks of it
I sense what you’re living with him in my absence

I let go
The flowers in the garden wither
I let go
Your scent on the pillow
I let go
The shutters closed all summer
To not see the day rise again

And at night I hear your voice
And I see your body
But at night I hear in your voice
That you won’t come back

I let go
The flowers in the garden wither
I let go
Your scent on the pillow
I let go
The shutters closed all summer
To not see the day rise again

I let go (x4)
I let go of the flowers withering
I let go (x4)
I let go of your scent on the pillow
I let go (x4)
I let go of the shutters closed
I let go (x4)
I let go of the flowers withering

I let go
The flowers in the garden wither
I let go
Your scent on the pillow
I let go
The shutters closed all summer
To not see the day rise again

To no longer believe in fairy tales
