Il Pretesto
Françoise Hardy
The Pretext
I don't want an excuse for pity
You know I detest falsehood
Be a bit more honest when you want
To end it between us
Don't be perplexed in inventing
Excuses that never go beyond
A modest rendezvous
That you no longer attend
I know well that paper castles
come down with a breath
It's not your fault
I don't want an excuse for pity
You know I detest falsehood
Give me the handkerchief whenever you want
To end it between us
To end it between us
I don't want an excuse for pity
You know I detest falsehood
Give me the handkerchief whenever you want
To end it between us
To end it between us
