Ne Me Laisse Pas (part. Slimane)

No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna leave me like this
You’re not gonna bail like this
No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna leave me like this

I can’t handle living in this crazy world
When I cross paths with death, I ask her, "Ma'am, would you?"
Like a tightrope walker who fell from the line
I’ve sinned too much but I know, God is merciful
Over time I’ve realized, that people are often cruel
They stab you in the back, it’s just cause and effect

Too nice, I’m a fool, I trusted life
But I learned it’s worth nothing when Abdoulaye left
I don’t have time to care about the crap you spew
I’ve got too much to achieve for my mom, you need to know
I cried when I bought her that house
I cried when I wrote this song

No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna leave me like this
You’re not gonna bail like this
No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna leave me like this
You’re not gonna bail like this, no

Sitting on a bench, I watch the birds fly by
I wish I could be like them, take off without regret
I dreamed of Paris, never thought I’d make it
Since I got here, I miss my hood, so I love to go back
Over time I’ve tarnished what was left of my soul
So many times I almost crashed on the pavement

Too dumb, I’m too nice, I can’t pretend everything’s fine
This world disgusts me and I’m scared it won’t end
When I look at the younger ones, I think I was lucky
As a teen, I didn’t need followers to join the dance
I sleep well only when I’m far away
I sleep well since I laid down this chorus

No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna leave me like this
You’re not gonna bail like this
No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna leave me like this
You’re not gonna bail like this, no

I want to forgive myself, it’s decided
Now I can’t sing anymore, Cha', please do it
Cha', please do it
No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna bail on me like this

No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna leave me like this
You’re not gonna bail like this
No, no don’t leave me
Please, don’t leave me
You’re not gonna leave me like this
You’re not gonna bail like this, no
