Excuses ou mensonges [English translation]

[Intro]

I spat on the ground, I swore on my life

I gave my word, I swore, I promised

I spat on the ground, I swore on my life

I gave my word and then I destroyed everything

[Verse 1]

I have such beautiful lies, you'll never want to believe the truth again

I have such a beautiful apology, you'll want me to betray you to listen to them

I have such beautiful lies, you'll never want to believe the truth again.

I have such a beautiful apology, you'll want me to betray you to listen to them, tell me (tell me)

[Pre-chorus]

Since we're at this point, tell me how you want me to get out of this

Since there's no way either one of us is going to walk out the door

I know, I'll end up paying, but the grade is way too high

Sorry, I'm gonna have to trap you because I love you

[Chorus]

I have lies (lies), lies (lies)

That would make the truth jealous

I have apologies (apologies), apologies (apologies)

So powerful that you will forgive everything

[Bridge]

Tell me what you want

Tell me, I have both

Tell me what you want, an apology or a lie, a lie or an apology

Apologies or lies, tell me what you want

[Verse 2]

I have such beautiful lies, you'll never want to believe the truth again

I have such a beautiful apology, you'll want me to betray you to listen to them

Tell me what you dream of hearing

I'll lie to you with a child's voice

I would crawl across the planet

I'd spend the rest of my life pretending

Right in the eye, I'll lie to you

You'll not see a thing

I know, it's lame, but it's too late

It's like that, I won't just let a story ruin it

[Pre-chorus]

Since we're at this point, tell me how you want me to get out of this

Since there's no way either one of us is going to walk out the door

I know, I'll end up paying, but the grade is way too high

Sorry, I'm gonna have to trap you because I love you

[Chorus]

I have lies (lies), lies (lies)

That would make the truth jealous

I have apologies (apologies), apologies (apologies)

So powerful that you will forgive everything

[Bridge]

Tell me what you want

Tell me, I have both.

Tell me what you want, an apology or a lie, a lie or an apology

Apologies or lies, tell me what you want

[Outro]

Please tell me, though, I love this girl

Why am I doing everything I can to make her suffer?

Please tell me, though, I love this girl

Why am I doing everything I can to make her suffer?
