Armand l'Enchanté - Broken Tempo Lyrics

[Intro]
Sweet melodies turned sour tonight
The stage feels empty without your light

[Verse 1]
Champagne glasses and cigarette ash
Our duet's gone, it ended so fast
You took the spotlight, left me in shade
All those promises start to fade
Like notes scattered across the floor
Can't play this tune anymore

[Chorus]
Broken tempo, that's what we are
Missing beats in some smoky bar
Baby, you changed the melody
Now I'm dancing solo, finally free
Oh, the rhythm ain't the same
Since you played your little game

[Verse 2]
Henri taught me 'bout staying true
Never thought I'd learn it from you
The band plays on, but something's wrong
Your empty mic still haunts this song
In every club from here to Rome
These jazz cats know I'm on my own

[Bridge]
The show must go on, that's what they say
While I'm here trying to find my way
Through empty verses, hollow rhymes
Damn, Sophie, these are different times

[Chorus]
Broken tempo, that's what we are
Missing beats in some smoky bar
Baby, you changed the melody
Now I'm dancing solo, finally free

[Outro]
The music's changed, but I'll survive
In this midnight jazz dive
Let the trumpet play my pain
Till I find my groove again
