L'important c'est d'aimer - Wilfred LeBouthillier

Les parois de ma vie sont lisses Je m'y accroche mais je glisse Lentement vers ma destinée Mourir d'aimer Tandis que le monde me juge Je ne vois pour moi qu'un refuge Toute issue m'étant condamnée Mourir d'aimer Mourir d'aimer De plein gré s'enfoncer dans la nuit Payer l'amour au prix de sa vie Pécher contre le corps mais non contre l'esprit Laissons le monde à ses problèmes Les gens haineux face à eux-memes Avec leurs petites idées Mourir d'aimer Puisque notre amour ne peut vivre Mieux vaut en refermer le livre Et plutot que de le brûler Mourir d'aimer Partir en redressant la tête Sortir vainqueur d'une défaite Renverser toutes les données Mourir d'aimer Mourir d'aimer Comme on le peut de n'importe quoi Abandonner tout derrière soi Pour n'emporter que ce qui fut nous, qui fut toi Tu es le printemps, moi l'automne Ton coeur se prend, le mien se donne Et ma route est déjà tracée Mourir d'aimer Mourir d'aimer Mourir d'aimer

Comment partir d'ici en restant près de toi Comment sera la vie quand je serai là-bas Comment rester ici sans partir, j'ai si peur Es-ce vrai quand on dit "loin des yeux, loin du coeur" Si tu ne me vois plus, est-ce que tu oublieras Les promesses non tenues dans les nuits d'autrefois T'en va pas Si je pars Ce n'est pas pour te fuir T'en va pas Si je pars C'est parce que l'avenir Est un chasseur d'espoir Qui recherche un souvenir T'en va pas Si je pars Je m'en vais revenir T'en va pas Toi qui connais mes mains, moi qui connais les tiennes Crois-tu que le destin nous fera de la peine Les lumières et la pluie vont changer de couleur Ne crois pas qui te dit "loin des yeux, loin du coeur" Je l'ai promis au vent juste avant de partir Nous aurons des enfants, ils auront ton sourire T'en va pas Si je pars Ce n'est pas pour te fuir T'en va pas Si je pars C'est parce que l'avenir Est un chasseur d'espoir Qui recherche un souvenir T'en va pas Si je pars Je m'en vais revenir T'en va pas (Oh) T'en va pas Si je pars Ce n'est pas pour te fuir T'en va pas Si je pars C'est parce que l'avenir Est un chasseur d'espoir Qui recherche un souvenir T'en va pas Si je pars Je m'en vais revenir T'en va pas T'en va pas, oh T'en va pas (Ah)

Maps point to angels that'll lead the way back home Yellow-colored flowers that you picked out on your own These trees may line the hills 'til it gets too high to breathe Sailboats sail the ocean 'til they get where they should be Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Loneliness can heal the soul, like a highway out in Kansas Oh, bluebird sing me a song while I wait here and listen Water flowing down the stream, it sounds like momma's calling me The sun might wonder where you've gone if you stay in bed all day Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Today I got some bad news and I wish that I could tell you My lungs are under pressure from the things I wish I never knew Hear it once and tell it twice, to numb the pain I'll hide inside Is this what you call emotion 'cause it's something Something I don't recognize Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart Oh, lead me home To the place where I belong Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls Oh, take me home Where no one else has gone Leave it to the rivers to fix this broken heart

She's covered in blue jean overalls that she painted A work of art that speaks in every language She paints to tell a story she never could She starts with the pain that she still holds That she covers with color 'til no one knows You don't see the tears running down her face She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain, where you see art She pours her morning coffee like it's her last Then pours her heart on a canvas she can't take it back She leaves an empty space for you, just in case She starts with the hatred that she holds That she covers with color 'til no one knows You don't see the tears running down her face She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain Yellows turn to orange, then red To the color of red wine blood Blues like the skies from the morning light To the shadows, left untouched She'll never tell you she's been drinking in the dark How she falls asleep on the floor when life's too hard How no one will ever know, 'cause she plays her part She'll never tell you that she sees pain, where you see art

Dear Sid, You think you made it in the world, now you're 18 you should know Adults aren't superheroes, they're just kids growing old Maturity is a choice, that not everybody chooses Dropping out of college doesn't mean that you're a loser You think you'll figure out the world, by the time you're 23 Now you're a certified adult that's working 40-hour weeks So many bills, why does it cost so much to breathe? You thought it would be easier deciding what to eat You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the people on TV Everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster, one day you're 23 You'd think that turning 25 is the year you'd make it out But you're still fighting wars you know nothing about Where is the truth, are we ever gonna find it? Is this game, why does it have to feel so crowded? You think you'll figure out the world, by the time you're 23 Now you're a certified adult that's working 40-hour weeks So many bills, why does it cost so much to breathe? You thought it would be easier deciding what to eat You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the models in magazines And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster Don't ever lay your head down angry, never slam the doors you close If someone breaks your heart there's someone better down the road We're livin' for the first time, and this is all we know We're livin' for the first time, it's okay to take it slow 'Cause you'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the people on TV And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster One day you're 23 You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean I promise you don't wanna be like the models in magazines And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think Every year goes by a little faster Till you wish you were 23 I still don't know where I'm headed, should I? I'm still getting older as the days go by I stay in my head on most days And I try to forget my own age Wish I was 23 Sincerely, Wilfred
