Je perds mon raison d'être

In a pit of darkness

Of despair and such

Is the weight of it all

Pinning me down

With pounding in my head

And regret there in my heart.


Oh, I've lost my reason for being

It vanished with my innocence

Drowned in shots of vodka

And nights in strangers arms

Whispering falsehoods in their ears

Flying away

Under cover of stars


Je perds mon raison d'être

And now I have no path

Stranded in the silence

That you've left in your absence

Kill caught in intoxicated wonder

The one that got away

Elle était mon raison d'être
