Albertine Video (MV)

I saw you walking next to me
In the corner of my eye
I saw your mouth smiling hello
But your eyes smiled goodbye
I wasn't ready to give in
I wasn't ready to go
How come I told you I didn't
When I loved you so

Albertine
Oh Albertine

Standing in the doorway
I'd forgotten how to breathe
So you gave your cigarette
To me
Staring at your shirt sleeve
I'd forgotten how to leave
So you gave me your lips
Before you took my key

Albertine
We are falling
Oh Albertine
We are falling down
Oh Albertine
We are falling
Oh Albertine
We are falling down

I hold your face caress your neck
Under your chin my fingers check
Does your heart beat for me
And when your body tells me no
I feel the fracture start to grow
I set you free
Now you have only the sky to chase you
As you are learning to fly the ground awaits you
With a shift and a sigh it takes you
Not a second and time replaced you
Sometimes I don't know when I've done wrong
But I know what I've done
I've done for me

Oh Albertine
Oh Albertine
I've done for me
Oh Albertine
Oh Albertine

I saw you walking next to me
In the corner of my eye
