Now that I'm gone, you know my name
Now that I'm gone, you want me back again
I've made up my mind, it's set and done
There's not enough salt to have me back
It's hard to process, I understand
It's breaking your heart but leaving mine untouched
 
Now that I'm gone so is love
But now that I'm gone
The shadows are saying
 
No need to send me flowers
You're wasting your time
My river has run dry
Is just a little too late
Go on with your life
No reason, no rhyme
 
Now that I'm gone what about then
I was around you didn't seem to care
What went so wrong, I can't explain
You're now a stranger to my eyes
 
Now that I'm gone so is love
But now that I'm gone
The shadows are saying
 
No need to send me flowers
You're wasting your time
My river has run dry
It's just a little too late
Go on with your life
No reason, no rhyme
 
No need to send me flowers
You're wasting your time
My river has run dry
It's just a little too late
Go on with your life
No reason, no rhyme
 
You're calling my name, I can't hear you
Maybe you should scream, no, I'm teasing
You're calling my name
You say you're in hell maybe it's true
You say you feel pain, I know you do
I know you do
 
Now that I'm gone, so is love
The shadows are saying
 
No need to send me flowers
You're wasting your time
My river has run dry
It's just a little too late
Go on with your life
No reason, no rhyme
 
No need to send me flowers
You're wasting your time
My river has run dry
It's just a little too late
Go on with your life
There's no reasons, no reason, no rhyme.

I laid a red rose on your front porch
And I wrote 'I Love You' on a note
I rang the doorbell and turned to go
Baby when the curtains moved
I couldn't believe the view
 
I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holding each other tight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight
 
So take your cheating hands off my red dress
'Cause I ain't wearing this thing for you
I see you clearly now, and your lies too
They say that love is blind
Well, baby, not this time
 
I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holding each other tight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight
 
Why, baby, why
Should I listen to ya
Cry, baby, cry
Now I'm walking out the door
 
They say that love is blind
Well, baby, not this time
 
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight.

BRAVO, TU A GAGNÉ

Nous avons joué notre vie ensemble
Et puis un beau jour la chance a tourné
On ne finira pas la partie ensemble
Et chacun s'en va seul de son côté
 
Bravo tu as gagné, et moi j'ai tout perdu
On s'est tellement aimé, on ne s'aime plus
J'étais sûre de moi, je vivais tranquille
Et ta main dans ma main je croisais les doigts
Et tous les tricheurs de la grande ville
Ne me faisaient pas peur quand tu étais là
 
Mais les dés sont jetés, pair impair, rouge ou noir
Qui est le plus heureux de nous deux ce soir?
Bravo tu as gagné, et moi j'ai tout perdu
On s'est tellement aimé, on ne s'aime plus
 
Est-ce qu'elle est ta complice cette partenaire
Que tu as choisi pour me remplacer?
En amour la loi, c'est comme à la guerre
Le plus fort des deux reste le dernier
Et notre amour si beau (amour si beau)
Finit pourtant si mal (pourtant si mal)
On le juge à huis clos (juge à huis clos)
Dans un tribunal (un tribunal)
 
Bravo tu as gagné (tu as gagné)
Et moi j'ai tout perdu (j'ai tout perdu)
On s'est tellement aimé (on s'est aimé)
On ne s'aime plus (ne s'aime plus)
 
Nous avons joué
Notre vie ensemble
Et puis un beau jour
La chance a tourné
On ne finira pas
La partie ensemble
Et chacun s'en va
Seul de son côté
 
Bravo tu as gagné
Bravo tu as gagné
 
Tu as gagné
J'ai tout perdu
On s'est aimé
On n'aime plus
Amour si bon
Pourtant si mal
Juge à huis clos.

Mean blues feel this is the end for me
Mean blues feel this is the end for me
Cruel world pullin’ me donw
Is making it hard tomorrow to see

Three days I haven’t heard my girl
I know something’ is wrong
Three days I haven’t heard my girl
I know something’ is wrong
She left me for another
There’s a hole now where my heart belongs

There’s no use for me searching
I have to let her go
There’s no use for me searching
I have to let her go
There’s nothing for her to come back to
Mean blues got me sinking too low

Drowned my sorrows with a boittle
I’m gonna lose my mind
Drowned my sorrows with a boittle
I’m gonna lose my mind
Think and drink, drank the bottom of the East River
That’s where my heartache feels fine.
