c’est mon anniversaire


juste-avant-la-nuit-1971-06-gI don’t want to turn around
And find I’d got it wrong
Or that I should have been laughing all along

You’re what keeps me alive
You’re what’s destroying me
Do you want the truth or do you want your sanity?

You were hell and everything else was just a mess
I found I’d stepped into the deepest unhappiness

We get back, I bleed into you
Thank God that I don’t love you
All of that’s behind me now
Still seems to be above you

I don’t know
I don’t know whether I ever knew you
But I know you
I know you never knew me

I don’t know
I don’t know whether I ever knew you
But I know you
I know you never knew me
Do you want to?

Hope doesn’t serve me now
I don’t move fast at all these days
You think you’ve understood
You’re ignorant that way

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I can’t be canceled out like this
We had to kill too much
Before we could even kiss

I don’t know
I don’t know whether I ever knew you
But I know you
I know you never knew me

I don’t know
I don’t know whether I ever knew you
But I know you
I know you never knew me

Do you want to? Do you want to?
Do you want to? Do you want to?
Do you want to? Do you want to?
