J'Te Mentirais
Patrick Bruel
I'd Be Lying to You
I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about it
If I said I didn't want to remember the name of her street
If I said
My love, that I didn't feel anything
Heard nothing of those unspoken words
That I didn't smile at her silences
I'd be lying, I'd be lying
Quick, I'm falling, will you look at me?
Will you be down there to take me where I don't know
Where I won't go?
So, quick, I'm falling like a puppet with no strings
Too free and too fragile
I'm searching for your hand in the clouds to chase her image away
I'd be lying if I said deep down in your eyes
That your tears are wrong to fall, that this girl is just passing through
I'd be lying, and yet I’ve lied to myself
To believe we were so safe
To see us stronger than life
But those things, we just don’t know
Quick, I'm falling, will you be down there?
Will you wait for me to take me where I don't know
To bring me back to you?
So, quick, I'm falling like a puppet with no strings
Our story flashing by
I'm searching for your hand in the clouds to not turn the page
I'd be lying, but who else could I tell
Without really betraying you this time? Silence can be worse sometimes
Quick, I'm falling, will you be down there?
Will you pick me up to take me where I don't know
To bring me back to you?
So, quick, I'm falling like a thieving bird
Hit right there, in the heart, still wondering why
It passed through there.
