I hid it so well, shooting stars in your fridge
I hid it so well, where no one else could see
I hid it so well, out of my own reach
I hid it so well, so why does it hurt?
If you ever wonder why,
the reason why I lie
It's because I love you
Do you think of me sometimes,
will I ever be the one
that you want
You hid it so well, but maybe it's on your tongue
You hid it so well, is there someone who knows
You hid it so well, one day you're sweet, the next you're ice
You hid it so well and i will hide it too
If you ever wonder why,
the reason why I lie
it's because I love you
Do you think of me sometimes,
will I ever be the one
that you want

I don't understand, how we came to this
there was trouble sometimes then we were fine
I don't understand why I end up alone
while you spend your nights with someone else
ha ha ha x2
It scared me to death to live this with you
I don't know what you feel at all
I gave you the best, all of my days
It was cool cause you were by my side
Then you went away you didn't have time for me
How is it that you and I was for nothing?
ha ha ha x2
It scared me to death to live this with you
I don't know what you feel at all
ha ha ha x4
It scared me to death to live this with you
I know you don't love me at all

Everyday, every moment
It feels like I'm gonna suffocate
It's like a hole in my chest
Somehow I've got to fill
When will the days have their colors back again
When will you stop pretending that it's alright
Every place, every backdrop
is tainted with the ghost of you
It's like a burn that won't heal
It's like the pain that you refuse to me
When will the days have their colors back again
When will you stop pretending that it's alright

It didn't feel good, the day my brain collapsed
Standing at the edge of nothing as my world falls down
I tried to hang on but ...
I've finally understood, what is wrong with me
I've finally understood, there's nothing left to me
It didn't feel good, the day my brain collapsed
Standing at the end of the road with a golden sphinx
Would you play for me, I don't know anything
Would you stay with me when I feel so numb?
I've finally understood, what is wrong with me
I've finally understood, there's nothing left to me
I've finally understood, what is wrong with me
I've finally understood, what you meant to me
I've finally understood, what is wrong with me
I've finally understood, what is wrong with me

Le centre du monde

Ca ne sera pas facile, il faudra du temps
C'est la fin du monde, un autre naît demain
Réouvrir les portes, réapprendre l'oubli
Quand tu me reverras, ça ne sera plus moi
Mais je sais bien que toutes les histoires ont une fin
Mais j'aurais voulu y croire encore, un peu plus de temps
Car je n'ai rien en dehors
Ca ne sera pas facile, reconstruire le temps
Au centre du monde, là où je suis mort
J'ai écrit les mots, maudis ma prescience
mais je suis en retard, de toute une vie
Mais je sais bien que toutes les histoires ont une fin
Mais j'aurais voulu y croire encore, un peu plus de temps
Car je n'ai rien en dehors, en dehors
Mais je sais bien que toutes les histoires ont une fin
Mais j'aurais voulu y croire encore, un peu plus de temps
Car je n'ai rien en dehors de mes histoires dont j'écris la fin
Elle est triste mais je n'y peux rien.J'ai tout brûlé, effacé
mais elles sont là en dedans.

What's the point?

You say your universe ain't the same as mine
But I Say the universe has no end, it just expands
So maybe one day our worlds will grow
fill up the void that lies between us
So what's the point of all I do if you're so high I can't reach you
You'll never know what might have been, it's hidden in here but who will seek?
You say your opinion doesn't count but it's wrong
'cause I care, everything about you is so good
So what's the point of all I do if you're so high I can't reach you
You'll never know what might have been, it's hidden in here but who will seek?

Up there, up there in the sky
Out there, out there in you eyes
My dreams are made of stainless steel
Magic powder and godspeed
I'm flying to the moon, nobody won't stop me,
I'm on fire baby
There's no time for regrets
