Seems like you made it out
That you're still as pretty
It's a good guy who's with you
I heard that, I heard that
I hesitated for a long time but I'm writing to you
I couldn't leave Paris
I still don't like this city
You see, I wouldn't want to die there
I stopped drinking you know
It will be 1 year on January 14th
I see people who help me, it's great
I have a real family around me
Seems like you're getting married
Would you let me send you
A little something, it's nothing
But if you want, I insist

I found the shoes you liked
They were the red ones, I couldn't be wrong
Your smile that night brought me to my knees
In front of that window we were like crazy
You wanted to make me a Rock'n'Roll star
I was stuck on cowboy glue
The first night I took you to dinner
I knew I could leave everything for you

Do you still drink my little wild raven?
Is there still that rage in your belly?
It made you jealous of people who kill themselves
I loved you even when I was too drunk
In Paris the sky is always congested
There's not even a moon to howl at anymore
I sometimes pass by our Chelsea
And it doesn't hurt me anymore, I have another life
You should see how beautiful my boy is
He brings home lots of good grades
I love my wife, she managed to strangle
The ghosts that wanted to drown me
Did you also tell him
That you could never become that rotten swan?
I could never read the ugly duckling again
This fucking story is really twisted

I miss you my baby
I miss you to death
Tonight I'm looking for your laughter, your tears
That slipped away without warning
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Maybe the dreams you had for me
They were for you
Run away
They were for you
They were for you
Run away
They were for you

Here I wish you to be loved
I wish you a life away from the broken faces
I'll always be your slim but never forget
Run away, it means to escape
