C'etait Salement Romantique

You are easier to do than to understand
And fallen, I couldn't take you
Going too far from you
I wanted to miss you, pretend to exist in your eyes

And to the south of my sorrows, I flew far from you
To cover my heart with a darker wax
Than all the looks thrown my way
I tried to fly far from you
I tried to fly far from you

You were easier to follow
In the city that became our greatest escape
And me lying in this bed
I contemplate what I gave you of my life

And to the south of my sorrows, I flew far from you
To cover my heart with a darker wax
Than all the looks thrown my way
I tried to fly far from you
I tried to fly far from you
