Put a hand up when you buried your head in the sand
You waved a flag to send out
A message that you hurt
You heard me treading in the shadows of the evergreens
You turned to me and you said
"You will learn nothing from me"
I thought you wouldn't notice that I lost some sleep for you
And all the flowers that have
Wilted 'cause I left them to
You won't remember but I wanted you to guarantee
That you will never ever
Forget that "C'est la vie"
