À fleur de toi [English translation]

The days go by, but it doesn't count

I'm having such a hard time living, drunk

Of this perfume so different from yours

Worse, I counted every minute that keeps me captive to him

As if I were my own prisoner

It's been almost a year since he saved me from you

I often wonder where I would be for you

I often wonder what you do, where you are, who you love...

Get out of my thoughts!

I have changed address, my number, thank you.

I threw away your letters and your faults, even though

I pretended to have found the strength

Deep inside me I keep all of your love

I'm trying to forget you with someone else

Time doesn't seem to erase your faults

I try, but nothing happens, I can't, I don't want to.

I can't do it, I don't love him like I love you

I'm trying to heal myself with someone else.

Who tries in vain to redeem your faults

He seems so perfect, but nothing happens, I surrender

I can't, I don't love him like I love you

He, he tried to console me

Even though he doesn't have your words or your past

It's true, but he doesn't have your taste for partying

For the night, for others, for everything I hate

He dried all my tears, you know

He picked up your broken pieces

And he has settled all your unpaid debts, your impostures, your broken promises

Everything you left me

He loves me like crazy and knows me by heart

He tells me "I love you" sometimes for hours

But he doesn't smell like you

Why do I breathe you in his arms?

Get out of my thoughts!

(Chorus)

I don't love him like I love you

Just tell me why?

You stay (on my mind) like that...

I want to forget you

Take back your dreams and disappear

Because I want to love him like I love you...
