  • They say an end can be a start
    Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
    It's like a bad day that never ends
    I feel the chaos around me
    A thing I don't try to deny
    I'd better learn to accept that
    There are things in my life I can't control

    They say love ain't nothing but a sore
    I don't even know what love is
    Too many tears have had to fall
    Don't you know I'm so tired of it all
    I have known terror dizzy spells
    Finding out the secrets words won't tell
    Whatever it is it can't be named
    There's a part of my world that's fading away

    You know I don't want to be clever
    To be brilliant or superior
    True like ice, true like fire
    Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
    Now I know there's much more dignity
    In defeat than the brightest victory
    I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
    Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please, tell me please

    If I ever feel better
    Remind me to spend some good time with you
    You can give me your number
    When it's all over I'll let you know

    Hang on to the good days
    I can lean on my friends
    They help me going through hard times
    But I'm feeding the enemy
    I'm in league with the foe
    Blame me for what's happening
    I can try, I can try, I can try, I can try

    No one knows the hard times I went through
    If happiness came I miss the call
    The stormy days ain't over
    I've tried and lost that thing that I pay the cost
    I've watched all my castles fall
    They were made of dust, after all
    Someday all this mess will make me laugh
    I can wait, I can wait, I can wait, I can wait

    If I ever feel better
    Remind me to spend some good time with you
    You can give me your number
    When it's all over I'll let you know
    If I ever feel better
    Remind me to spend some good time with you
    You can give me your number
    When it's all over I'll let you know

    It's like somebody took my place
    I ain't even playing my own game
    The rules have changed well I didn't know
    There are things in my life I can't control
    I feel the chaos around me
    A thing I don't try to deny
    I'd better learn to accept that
    There's a part of my life that will go away

    Dark is the night, cold is the ground
    In the circular solitude of my heart
    As one who strives a hill to climb
    I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
    They say an end can be a start
    Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
    I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
    Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please, tell me please

    If I ever feel better
    Remind me to spend some good time with you
    You can give me your number
    When it's all over I'll let you know

    If I ever feel better
    Remind me to spend some good time with you
    You can give me your number
    When it's all over I'll let you know

    If I ever feel better
    Remind me to spend some good time with you
    You can give me your number
    When it's all over I'll let you know Writer/s: Chikara Ueda, Christian Mazzalai, Frederic Moulin, Laurent Mazzalai, Thomas Croquet
