I took the leap and I fell
Don't ask, I'm not gonna tell
And now I'm going to Hell
Because he changed his ways
I'd spare a franc for a glance
I'd sell my soul for a chance
In all this country of France
But then he changed his ways
Some guy you're holdin',
Ripped shirt, tattoo showin'
Red dawn, river swollen
Did you think that you could save me?
Hey, I just saw you
And this is hasty,
But I'm not worthy
So you can't save me
You're just a bread thief
Man of mercy
But I'm impulsive
So you can't save me
Though I just saw you
And this is hasty
I'm still not worthy
So you can't save me
And on the barricade
Thought you fazed me
But I'm impulsive
So you can't save me
I'm done; I think that I'll fall
Now that you've answered the call
To make such fools of us all!
I'm blind to all your ways
You went to prison for years
You fought through all of your tears
Your courage: I want to steal it,
But you changed your ways
This man of mercy
Ends my earthly journey
This bread thief would curse me
Did you think that you could save me?
Hey, I just saw you
And this is hasty,
But I'm not worthy
So you can't save me
You're just a bread thief
Man of mercy
But I'm impulsive
So you can't save me
Though I just saw you
And this is hasty
I'm through with waiting
So you can't save me
And on the barricade
Thought you fazed me
But I'm not yielding
So you can't save me
I'm standing over the river
No way to go on
No way to go on
I want to end this song
I'm standing over the river
No way to go on
I've suffered too long
I want to end this song
You're just a bread thief
Man of mercy
But I'm impulsive
So you can't save me
Though I just saw you
And this is hasty
I'm through with waiting
So you can't save me
And on the barricade
Thought you fazed me
But this is over
So you can't save me
I'm standing over the river
No way to go on
No way to go on
I want to end this song
I'm standing over the river
No way to go on
My will is too strong,
So you can't save me.
