Northbrook - Au Revoir A Malhonnetete lyrics

<br>

We're swept by the dawn, and as we lie awake <br>You lay stiff in my arms, adrift in the wake <br>Of what felt less like love, and much more like a take <br>Of a scene in a movie where the heroine's saved <br>From her lonely, desperate state <br> <br>We've dotted our i's and crossed all of our t's <br>In the script of the lifestyle we planned for our teens <br>But I'm just a prop that you set for your stage <br>In a fairy tale romance the critics would praise <br>If each kiss were performed, as always: <br>"Once more, with feeling" <br> <br>But we kids disregard all of our yearning hearts <br>And make like we're actors just playing our parts <br>Constructing characters so unlike ourselves <br>To live out our lives in the artificial realm <br>Of drama we create <br> <br>'Cause life is a movie we'd all watch again <br>But just can't bring ourselves to rewind in the end <br>We make mistakes that we wish we could change <br>And the things we regret form the coming of age <br>And I wouldn't want it any other way <br> <br>So now we're eighteen, and I feel much too old <br>To continue the farce; to keep filling these roles <br>As we lie together we lie to each other <br>We're closer than we've ever been <br>But I move further from the truth <br>The longer that I lie next to you <br> <br>Left my love in bottled letters <br>Convinced myself it's for the better <br>To end this, but I'll always remember <br>I swear to hold my breath forever <br> <br>(This is the last time I'll ever swear myself to you <br>This is the last time I'll ever say, "I love you too")<br>
