Ma Prière

The night falls, Paris is dark, it's cold in the city
In the hospital, the pale light, my mother on the line
I've lost my instinct, I don't know what's wrong, what's right
Get a doctor, I think I need to hit someone

What have they done to you, whose fault is it if you end up here?
You need to explain, madam life, I think I didn't get it all
My boss can wait, no way I'm leaving you
Can you hear me, can you feel my caresses?

I'm afraid that in your sleep, you'll hear me cry, yeah
I can't wait for you to wake up, so we can laugh about it
But you sleep, you sleep, you sleep, hooked up from head to toe
And I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong to want to get angry

Take my life in exchange
God, I'm worth nothing if you take it from me
Too young to join the angels again
I'll owe you if you give it back to me
Oh, how strange my prayer is

God, listen to me, it's important
I'm angry, it's itching me
A rain of blood falls on Paris
And I stay here, ready to bet all I have that the coma won't take you

The phone rings but I don't want to talk to anyone
On earth, only you understand me
We have the same blood in our veins, yeah
The nurse knocks, I have to go out, I go downstairs to smoke a cigarette

She styled your hair but I know you, you would have hated it
Don't worry, I'll stay here, no, I won't let you down
Soon we'll hug, your laughter is my favorite sound
I take care of mom, it's not funny for her, you know

Her flesh, her child, I don't think she would survive it
And outside, outside, outside, you still have too many things to see
And it's dead, it's dead, it's dead, I refuse to say goodbye
But take my life in exchange

God, I'm worth nothing if you take it from me
Too young to join the angels again
I'll owe you if you give it back to me
Oh, how strange my prayer is

God, listen to me, it's important
I'm angry, it's itching me
A rain of blood falls on Paris
If you take it from me
No, I'm worth nothing
If you take it from me
