lyrics

Je n'ai jamais vraiment su exactement quoi faire
avec une sagesse acquise par la douleur
dans mon monde petit
Mais j'avais un moyen avec les mots
mais les mots n'ont fait que gêner

Je suppose que j'essaye de dire que je t'aime
sans ironie, complètement et sincèrement
Du fond de mon cœur
mais c'est un endroit très peu profond

Je portais ces mots comme une cape
pour me protéger des intempéries
essayant de prendre la langue de ma joue
mais je ne sais pas où le mettre

Je suppose que j'essaie de dire que je t'aime
sans ironie, complètement et sincèrement
du fond de mon cœur
mais c'est un endroit très peu profond

Atrophie et entropie et chagrin inconditionnel
Les profondeurs et les ampleurs de la spéculation insensée
cela peut être futile et peut être dénué de sens
mais je t'aime d'un endroit très peu profond
