Elle Pleut

Absorbed by a documentary on the universe, insomnia is its scourge
Eyes on a screen until it looks fluorescent
I look out the window, the moon is green, immersed at the confluence
Of eras, I never wanted to get used to it, it's raining
You make me defy the laws of sleep
Tossing and turning at night to the point of removing the slats from the bed base
The sound of dead leaves scratching the sidewalk
My reflection in this puddle but I can't see myself anymore, it reminds me too much of you
When we used to meet every morning on public transport
The first smile before everything started to drift
The first inside joke, the first time we scratched each other
When I watched you sleep and I wrote

Where do you come from? Your sweetness kills
Where do you come from? Your sweetness kills
Where do you come from? Your sweetness kills
Where do you come from? Your sweetness kills

I was writing, where do you come from? Your sweetness kills
It was ten past twelve, I was out
And you turned everything upside down without telling me
That you had all sorts of ideas, sordid doubts
I didn't see you on the bus tonight
To forget you, I kept giving myself more work
We erased each other from our lives so abruptly
I feel like I miss your family more than I miss you

You only think about others
You don't think about me
She broke her heart over me
You only think about others
You don't think about me
She broke her heart over me

She broke her heart over me
Broke her heart over me
It was written black on white
It's over between you and me
She broke her heart over me
Broke her heart over me
It's over between you and me
I'm leaving, I won't come back
Just yesterday, I had
My eyes fixed on your face
My eyes fixed on your face
Just yesterday, I had
My eyes fixed on your face
My eyes fixed on your face

To make up for lost time, we won't have enough in just one century
A burst cloud throws its dots on the dry ground
Too much pride that we like to deny
You'd like us to remain friends, I prefer to be your enemy
We saw each other depraved, on the surface we laugh
Our screens as barricades, we threw stones at each other
You reproached me for going to see my brothers with a mysterious air
It's better to have serious friends than friends who are serious
Too much pride that we like to deny
You'd like us to remain friends, I prefer to be your enemy
Will we have the chance for it to start again? It depends
Now, the only thing we have in common is friends

You only think about others
You don't think about me
She broke her heart over me

She broke her heart over me
Broke her heart over me
It was written black on white
'It's over between you and me'
She broke her heart over me
Broke her heart over me
It's over between you and me
I'm leaving, I won't come back
Just yesterday, I had
My eyes fixed on your face
My eyes fixed on your face
Just yesterday, I had
My eyes fixed on your face
My eyes fixed on your face

Just yesterday, I had
My eyes fixed on your face
My eyes fixed on your face
Just yesterday, I had
My eyes fixed on your face
My eyes fixed on your face
Just yesterday, I had
My eyes fixed on your face
My eyes fixed on your face
Just yesterday, I had
My eyes fixed on your face
My eyes fixed on your face

How many (how many)
How many (how many)
How many (how many)
How many times? How many kings?
How many laws? How many choices?
How many trials? How many disputes?
How many proofs? Words of love are no longer spoken
How many seasons? How many relationships?
How many splits? How many injuries?
How many grains of sand? How many dunes?
How many wild fears do we evacuate?
How many galaxies? How many moons?
How many strands of a woman? I only see one (you)
