Toujours Gai

Fri, 11/28/2014 - 22:21 -- Leyoht

Take away my innocence,

And drown me in the rain.

Do to me what you must do:

To make me feel your pain.

Just do it all for yourself—

Do it now, my best friend.

After all, I am the one

Who drove you to your end.

Just know I would never dream

Of getting my revenge.

Though, I'll say it's difficult

Knowing you were my friends.

 

Toujours gai! Toujours gai!

Live in your own fantasy—

Throw your life away!

Toujours gai! Toujours gai!

Know that I'll be weeping when

I see you go astray.

Going back to what we were,

Throw the past away.

Live a life of mystery

And maybe in a day

I will see what you've become

Singing "Toujours gai!"
