I never feared the unexpected
Till I found myself in this peculiar place
Unaware of where I was headed
Turns out it was your footsteps I had chased

Well I should know so much better than this
But you've occupied the center of my universe

I'm moving in reverse
Under your mighty curse
I hate myself for loving you
I turn my head away
But my cœur, coeur will remain
Till the jour I learn you're no good for me

It's illogical and it's outrageous
The way I let toi keep me hanging on
Your character is that contagious
I know I should have thought before I had done
I've gone and let my impulse be my guide
And on that note, I'll be defenseless for some time

[Chorus]

salut toi there, keep your distance
Don't toi come around here
Don't test my patience baby
Cause I ain't gonna let toi off easy

[Chorus]

I use no exaggeration
I'm plainly hanging par a thread
And I'm running low on patience
But don't go blame it on yourself

I wish I was in my right mind
But I've left myself unnecessary chores
I make it bad when it's just fine
I was whole and sure, but now I'm clearly torn and there's

Nothing left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fears, where the truth is oh so clear
Embracing inescapable truth
And that's facing up to you

Continual irresolution
Keeps me shackled to the ground
I've been in dire need of revolution
For far too many days to count

I thought I was sûr, sans danger in my hiding place
But it sure is exhausting living in chains
It's paradoxical in every way
Nothing makes sense, I can't tell l’amour from hate

[Chorus]

I'm begging myself to make something out of it
I give up, still unable to comprehend
My own true will, oh but still

[Chorus]

I couldn't make this up
I have been outdone par my own kind
I always traded up, yeah
Now I'm a victim for the first time

Well I'm unaffected and indifferent
But I can't pretend I'm not over the edge

Well, well baby, what do toi know,
toi turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my, it only serves me right, now I get it
This is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is

I was untouchable
Until karma crashed my party
Found out I'm crushable, oh
And I'm the only one who's sorry

I don't get rejected, I've somehow regressed
It's unprecedented, no seconde best

[Chorus]

No, no, no, don't toi go
I do all the breaking up around here
No, no, no, don't steal my show
toi should be the one crying these tears

[Chorus]

Tears are forming in your eyes
A storm is warning in the sky

The end of the world it seems
toi bend down and toi fall on your knees
Well get back on your feet yeah

Don't look away
Don't run away
salut baby it's only life
Don't lose your faith
Don't run away
salut baby its only life
Yea it's only life

toi were always playing hard
Never could let down your guard

But toi can't win
If toi never give in
To that voice within
Saying pick up your chin
Baby let go of it

[Chorus]

Take your hesitance
And your self-defense
Leave them behind, it's only life
Don't be so afraid
Of facing everyday
Just take your time, it's only life
I'll be your stepping-stone
No, don't be so alone
Just hold on tight, it's only life

[Chorus]
