Partir Quand Même
Françoise Hardy
Leaving Anyway
Leaving anyway
While he sleeps
While he dreams
And there's still time
Leaving anyway
At the peak
Breaking the chains
That bind me to his fate
Will turn me into dead weight
An object of the scenery
Leaving anyway
Before he wants
To clip my wings
And tame my pride
Leaving anyway
Leaving first
Exiting the stage
In one final effort
Before saying: I love you
Before the trap closes
Leaving anyway
Remaining master
Of his games and my mysteries
Disappear
From his sight, no longer giving a sign
Before I can no longer
Go back
Before it's too late
To avoid the war
Before saying I love you
Knowing how to leave anyway
