[First verse]
What is this look that you laid on me?
Melting or fearful, or both at the same time
I saw a glimpse, of the nightmare you drink
A hole in my chest, since I don't know you
[Pre-Chorus]
The night is tender
To the point of being mistaken
Talking as if we were everything
Until drowning, I'll go all the way
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
[Chorus]
But then, what's the matter ?
I can't leave you like that
You'll see, we'll know each other
Oh tell me about yourself, tell me
Oh my imperfect, imperfect, impеrfect stranger, uh
My imperfеct, imperfect, imperfect stranger, uh-eh-eh
[Second verse]
Years later, I leave you on the edge
And against my dreams, I held you so tight
I did everything to believe, that I'd be your weapons
But my makeup ran under your tears
[Pre-Chorus]
The night is tender, hm-hm
To the point of being mistaken
Always believing that we're worth nothing
We fade away like shagreen skins
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
[Chorus]
But then, what's the matter?
I can't leave you like that
You'll see, we'll know each other
Oh tell me about yourself, tell me
Oh my imperfect, imperfect, imperfect stranger, uh
My imperfect, imperfect, imperfect stranger, uh-eh-eh
[Post-Chorus]
Shalalalalalalala, ouh, ouh, eh
Shalalalalalalala, ouh, ouh, eh
Shalalalalalalala, ouh, ouh, eh
Shalalalalalalala, ouh, ouh, eh
[Chorus]
(But then, what's the matter ?)
(I can't leave you like that)
(You'll see, we'll know each other)
(Oh tell me about yourself, tell me)
Oh my imperfect, imperfect, imperfect stranger, uh
My imperfect, imperfect, imperfect stranger, uh-eh-eh
[Outro]
Shalalalalalalala, ouh, ouh, eh
Shalalalalalalala, ouh, ouh, eh
Shalalalalalalala, ouh, ouh, eh
Shalalalalalalala, ouh, ouh, eh
(Ahou-ahou, ahou-ahou)
(Ahou-ahou ahou-ahou)
