Merci

I’d like to give to Caesar
What belongs to Caesar
Even if I don’t mean to, I have the knack
Of always keeping it all for myself
Those words that we never forget

Nothing is owed on this earth
Nothing is sweet in our hell
And just so you know, if I get by
What’s the point in lying to myself?
I’ve got something to tell you

To say thanks
For all the times I told you
More often 'screw you' than 'thank you'
Just simply thanks
Accept this from me

I’d like to give life
The honor it deserves too
Even if we thought we had it all
Nothing is ever really guaranteed
Not love, even less glory

Nothing down here is free
A lot of tolls on my road
But deep down, what does it cost me
To give Caesar back his empire?
I lose nothing by telling you

To say thanks
For all the times I told you
More often 'screw you' than 'thank you'
Just simply thanks
Accept this from me

Don’t hold it against
The lonely guy that I am
If only I had understood
If only there were 'ifs'
Just accept the thanks.
