A While - Pascale Picard

How do I feel?

Alone and lousy

And I may seem selfish but I need

A little break on my own, can’t you see

I’m just tired of being phony

So for a while stop calling me, my friend

I’ve spent 20 years forgetting myself and then

What else?

Am I just incomplete?

Sometimes I’m so sick of being sweet

I’m sure far away from me

You’d feel better than down here

So why don’t you take a look at this path

And then you’ll see…

'Cause I’ll never be a bit far away from me

So here I’m again, in front of the TV

Watching lives more exciting than mine

Because there’s always just too many good reasons

Too many reasons to be sad

I’m sure far away from me

You’d feel better than down here

So why don’t you take a look at this path

And then we’ll see…

'Cause I’ll never be a bit far away from me

Why don’t you try to keep your distance?

That’s so weird to try to listen to myself

As long as I won’t be, for a while, far away from me

I know I may be rude

But failing is always cruel

Don’t wait for me to stand next to you

I won’t be here for a while

I won’t be here for a while

Nothing more than this silent scream inside

So what, do you wanna hear about self-control?

Talking a little louder than usual

Freeing myself from what I just don’t wanna hold

I’m sure far away from me

You’d feel better than down here

So why don’t you take a look at this path

And then we’ll see…

'Cause I’ll never be a bit far away from me

Why don’t you try to keep your distance?

That’s so weird to try to listen to myself

As long as I won’t be, for a while, far away from me

I know I may be rude

But failing is always cruel

Don’t wait for me to stand next to you

I won’t be here for a while

I won’t be here for a while

I won’t be here for a while

I won’t be here for a while
