Night falls, Paris is dark, it's cold in the city
In the hospital, the pale light, my mother on the other end of the line
I've lost my instinct, I no longer know right from wrong
Bring a doctor, I think I need to hit someone
What have they done to you, whose fault is it that you're here?
Explain to me, madam life, I think I didn't understand everything
My boss can wait, there's no way I'm leaving you
Can you hear me, can you feel my caresses?
I'm afraid that in your sleep, you hear me crying, yeah
I can't wait for you to wake up, so we can laugh about it
But you sleep, you sleep, you sleep, infused from head to toe
And I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong to want to get angry

Take my life in exchange
God, I'm worth nothing if you take her from me
Too young to meet the angels
I'll owe you this if you give her back to me
Oh, how strange is my prayer
God, listen to me, it's important
I'm angry, it's itching me
A rain of blood falls on Paris

And I stay here, ready to bet everything I have that the coma won't take you
The phone rings but I don't want to talk to anyone
On earth, only you understand me
We have the same blood in our veins, yeah
The nurse knocks, I have to leave, I go down to smoke a cigarette
She combed your hair but I know you, you would have hated it
Don't worry, I'm staying here, I won't let you fall
Soon we'll hug each other, your laughter is my favorite sound
I'm taking care of mom, it's not fun for her you know
Her flesh, her child, I don't think she would survive
And outside, outside, outside, you still have too many things to see
And it's over, it's over, it's over, I refuse to say goodbye to you

But take my life in exchange
God, I'm worth nothing if you take her from me
Too young to meet the angels
I'll owe you this if you give her back to me
Oh, how strange is my prayer
God, listen to me, it's important
I'm angry, it's itching me
A rain of blood falls on Paris

If you take her from me
No, I'm worth nothing
If you take her from me
