Title: Comme Ça (Like That) Lyrics: I always thought that running away Would be the best way out I couldn't tell you Now, I have a knife in my back If you knew how to help me To get through this You wouldn't have silenced me On the day I was about to tell you everything Let me try to please you I have to pretend with you Then I catch up to the game And I raise you up high On my wall of conquests Where I gather your screams That you spell out to me in the air Then they will flow on my skin Oooooh, like that I idealized you, consumed you, then ignored you Oooooh, like that I idealized you, consumed you, then ignored you In my eyes, everything was seen You saw me as almost everything I tarnished the beauty too much That you brought to our "us" Yet, it was only about the lust We know it too well in our eyes It smells of rain and disgust That mix slowly You no longer have much effect on me By wanting to taste too much of it I didn't recognize myself in it Because I'm still racing ahead Oooooh, like that I idealized you, consumed you, then ignored you Oooooh, like that I idealized you, consumed you, then ignored you I came at dawn Like warm, sensual mornings I saw you, then, then With a little sweet pastel treasure I just wanted to play with you Just like we do down there A little like this, a little like that Like in my grand films, movie stars But I ended up at the edge, with the skin of my knee cracking I didn't expect to touch the ground As violently as my pain You, you were able to enjoy me I never enjoyed you A little like this, a little like that I couldn't even act out my own cinema Oooooh, like that You idealized me, consumed me, then ignored me Explanation: "Comme Ça" is a French song by Eddy De Pretto.
