I get lost in my thoughts, and for hours of time
And it's making me feel like I am not alone anymore
To be honest (to be honest)
I am trying to love, but I'm afraid to kill
And I never know when, when to search or stay still
So I fly
To be honest with you
Broken and yet tender
Always in and always out
Heading to the water
Drowning in what it can hide, hide
Kind of always cautious
Always a bit on my guard
Don't you, don't you break my heart
Feeling kind of loveless
Feeling somewhat loveless
Yet always ready to try
Yet always willing to give it a shot
And I've been through so much that sometimes it feels far
It is like a movie played by another star
It's like a film starring someone else
She's a stranger
To be honest (to be honest)
Now I'm sitting alone and I'm trying to listen
To the stories that could make mine a little softer, and fine
To be honest
Broken and yet tender
(Douce et abîmé)
(Sweet and shattered)
Always in and always out
(Toujours à côté)
(Always aside)
Heading to the water
(Dans l'eau s'enfoncer)
(Sinking into the water)
Drowning in what it can hide
(Ne rien y trouver)
(Finding nothing there)
Kind of always cautious
(Toujours protégé)
(Always protected)
Don't you, don't you break my heart
(Y a rien à casser)
(There's nothing to break)
Feeling kind of loveless
(J'ai rien à donner)
(I have nothing to give)
Yet always ready to try
(J'ai tout à donner, donner)
(I have everything to give, to give)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
