Électriciennes - To Be The One Lyrics

Wake up, it's time, it's the middle of the night
I never thought I would be the one to say goodbye
I hear your breathing, I will remember you as you are tonight
I'll never learn this, no matter how many times..

How can I ever tell, behind this mask, how it crushes me
To tear your world apart, to blow up life as we both know it
You'll never know how it crushes me to be the one...

Four in the morning, I'm wide awake and almost packed
I'll never change you, you'll never change that who I am
I see you sleeping in the middle of the night
We keep on trying, but nothing's ever quite alright

How can I ever tell, behind this mask, how it crushes me
To tear your world apart, to blow up life as we both know it
You'll never know how it crushes me to hear the words still
That you will never speak to me.
Behind this mask how it crushes me,
To tear our world apart, to kill the love that we've grown
You'll never know how it crushes me, to be the one...

And you will never know how much I've done to save our love,
But it's too late, too gray, too far,
Too messed with and too f*cked up
And I have no more strength to go on.

How can I ever tell, behind this mask, how it crushes me
To tear your world apart, to blow up life as we both know it
You'll never know how it crushes me, to be the one to slay the hopes
That we carefully raised.
Behind this mask how it crushes me,
To tear our world apart, to kill the love that we've grown
You'll never know how it crushes me, to be the one to slay the hopes
That we carefully raised.
You'll never know how it crushes me to hear the words still
That you will never speak to me.
You'll never know how it crushes me, to be the one to slay the hopes
That we carefully raised.
