Lyrics

Empty Room

Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do
Said your name in an empty room
Said your name in an empty room
Something I would never do
I'm alone again
When I'm by myself
I can be myself
Well my life is coming
But, I don't know when
You were burning now you're black and gray
You were burning now you're black and gray
Something I would never say
I'm alone again
When I'm by myself
I can be myself
Well my life is coming
But, I don't know when
Toute ma vie, etre avec toi
Toute ma vie, etre avec toi
Moi j'attends, toi tu pars
Toute ma vie, etre avec toi
Toute ma vie, etre avec toi
Moi j'attends, toi tu pars
