I left home when I was 17Just to see if the grass was really green4 years deep of things left behindbut you know I’ve got it all still on my mind
Bet you’ve already heard a song like thisOne that ends in that perfect farewell kissBut I won’t play that same old gameNot that flawless role we all seem to wanna play
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I love you now that you want me toAnd that’s not something I usually doDigging up the roots of this old oak treeIs just a little harder than I thought it’d be
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I gave you the key to let yourself inTo that secret place nobody’s ever beenYou peaked your head inside and looked aroundI can only hope you won’t let me down
I don’t know if you seeJust how much you mean to meSo let me know what you findIn this sheltered heart of mine
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame

L’amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser
Et c’est bien in vain qu’on l’appelle
S’il lui convient de refuser

Rien n’y fait, menace ou prière
L’un parle bien, l’autre se tait
Et c’est l’autre que je préfère
Il n’a rien dit mais il me plait

L’amour! L’amour! L’amour! L’amour!

L’amour est enfant de Bohême
Il n’a jamais jamais connu de loi
Si tou ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime
Si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!

Si tou ne m’aimes pas, si tou ne m’aimes pas, je t’aime
Mais si je t’aime, si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!

L’oiseau que tu croyais surprendere
Battit d’aile et s’envola
L’amour est loin, tu peux l’attendre
Tu ne l’attends pas, il est là

Tout atour de toi, vite vite
Il vient, s’en va, puis il revient
Tu crois le tenir, il t’evite
Tu crois l’eviter, il te tient
