The Renter Leaves - Alexandre Desplat, Jean-Yves Thibaudet

If I stayed with you

I would live a lie

For you deserve a love

This heart cannot provide

So Ill wish you well

And be on my way

Im not the one who could give you what you need

So Ill bid you farewell but dont you dare watch me leave

I didn’t mean to

Hurt you this way

But Im not what you need

So I guess

Ill just be on my way

One day youll wake up

And thank me for what I did

When youre living your happy life

Behind your white fence, new husband and kids

Like a captured bird

Who yearns to sail the sky

I will unlock your cage now

So prepare to fly

And Ill kiss the air

And hope it finds you well

Goodbye

Im not the one who could give you what you need

So Ill bid you farewell but dont you dare watch me leave

I didn’t meant to

Hurt you this way

But Im not what you need

So I guess

Ill just be on my way

One day youll wake up

And thank me for what I did

When youre living your happy life

Behind your white fence, new husband and kids

I didn’t meant to

Hurt you this way

But Im not what you need

So I guess

Ill just be on my way

One day youll wake up

And thank me for what I did

When youre living your happy life

Behind your white fence, new husband and kids

So, Ill kiss the air

And hope it finds you well

Goodbye
