L'amour en fuite

Photographed caresses on my sensitive skin
We can throw away the moments, the photos, it's free
There's always the transparent sticky paper
To square all these torments
We were a beautiful picture, the strong lovers
We set up house, happiness for two, I don't give a damn
Quickly the pieces of glass that cut and it bleeds
There it is on the floor, the porcelain

{Chorus:}
We, we, didn't make it
Boo, boo, it's running down your cheek
We part ways and there's nothing to explain, refrain
It's love on the run,
Love on the run
I slept, a child came in the lace
Leaving, coming back, moving, it's the game of swallows
Barely settled, I leave the two-room kitchen
We can call ourselves Colette, Antoine, or Sabine
All my life, it's chasing after things that slip away
Perfumed young girls, bouquets of tears, roses
My mother also put behind her ear
A drop of something that smelled the same

{Chorus}
