La Confession
Lhasa de Sela
The Confession
I'm not afraid
To say that I betrayed you
Out of pure laziness
Out of pure melancholy
That between you
And the Devil
I chose the most
Comfortable
But all this
Is not why
I feel guilty
My dear friend
I'm not afraid to say
That you scare me
With your hope
And your great sense
Of honor
You make me want
To destroy everything
To take away
Your beautiful smile
And even that
Is not why
I feel guilty
That's the worst
I feel guilty
Because I'm used to it
It's the only thing
I can do
With a certain
Certainty
It's reassuring
To think
That I'm sure
Not to be wrong
When it comes
To the question
Of my great guilt
I'm not afraid
To say that I cheated
I put the purest
Of my thoughts
On the market
I feel like dropping
All this idea
Of 'truth'
I would keep
To guide me
Pleasure and guilt
