I who have always written page after page for songs about rain
Packed, unpacked my baggage a hundred times to find a shelter
Tonight my pen is sullen, there is nothing to get out of it
It preferred it when I was alone, easier to nag
Happiness is rather superb, but how is it spelt
I have been to bars and bars, like a cursed poet
Since the evening when you brightened up my life
I think I’m having a melancholic breakdown
I tried, I tried, I tried to write a song to cry
To be jealous in my verses
To make silly jokes about myself in the movies
I would have loved, so much have loved to run in the rain of regrets
To imagine that it was our last kiss
I would have loved to but I love you too much to do so
If you left me just for a week, just to come back a little
I would be able to send you “I love you’s” which make you cry
I could walk the length of dunes by telling myself that it’s over
Yes, but that’s why it’s called melancholic breakdown
I even rummaged your bag to find some ideas
I saw a chunk of love letters that you write to me in secret
I saw photos of men all nude and holding hands
And in the evening when I got home, you were bathing them
I tried, I tried, I tried to write a song to cry
Sugar the sugar in my coffee
And stain with sorrow all the paper tablecloths
Disguising myself and seducing you to catch you cheating on me
Being the man who people smile to, bothered
I would have loved it but you love me too much to do so
Okay, very well, it’s just a little song which will make you smile, probably
But don’t get excited, between two bottles, to take it literally
I’m not exchanging your smile for a pretty smile
And I hope that my melancholic breakdown will be forgiven
I tried, I tried, I tried to write a song to cry
I was so desperate
That even my psychologist ended up being depressed
I would have loved, so much loved that my friends could console me
Much loved only at poker, they let me win
I would have loved if we loved each other to get there
Broken down, broken down, in a melancholic breakdown
I love you, you love me, we love each other, so it's a pity
Broken down, broken down, in a melancholic breakdown
I love you, you love me, we love each other, so too bad
Pity
