Verse 1 - Male] If you were to leave me, I think the world would lose its lines, The streets I know would become paths with no origin. I would walk through my life like a stranger in his own home, Searching for your reflection in mirrors that no longer hold your name. [Verse 1 - Female (French)] Chaque matin serait lourd, comme un ciel qui refuse de s'ouvrir, Et je porterais ton absence comme un secret douloureux. [Pre-Chorus - Male] I'd say I'm fine, that I'm holding on, that I'm moving forward, But my words would ring hollow, like lost promises. [Pre-Chorus - Female (French)] Je ferais semblant d'être forte, de sourire, de respirer, Alors que tout en moi crie que je ne sais plus comment avancer. [Chorus - Duet (Male dominant)] If you were to leave me, I would slowly fall, Like a leaf drifting, unaware of where the wind blows. I would become the shadow of the man you once knew, Searching for your light in places where you no longer are. [Chorus - Duet (Female dominant - French)] Si tu moindres me quittais, mon cœur garderait ton empreinte, Une brûlure douce, une douleur teintée De tout ce que nous étions, de tout ce qu'on aurait pu être. Si tu me quittais... je ne serais plus tout à fait moi-même. [Verse 2 - Male] I’d keep your laughter like a lamp in the dark, Your scent like a memory that refuses to settle. The world's colors would turn into running watercolors, And my thoughts into lost birds, circling and collapsing. [Verse 2 - Female (French)] Je vivrais par habitude, sans désir, sans choix, Juste pour laisser le temps passer sans trop parler de toi. [Pre-Chorus - Female (French)] Je dirais que ça va mieux, que la douleur s'est estompée, Mais chaque nuit me ramènerait à ce que nous avons laissé. [Pre-Chorus - Male] I'd pretend to forget, to turn the page, While your absence etched its name upon my face. [Chorus - Duet (Alternating lines)] [Male]: If you left me, I'd fall all over again, not like before, but deeper, harder. [Female (French)]: Je chercherais ta voix dans le silence des murs. [Male]: Your shadow in my movements, your breath in the clear air. [Female (French)]: Si tu me quittais, je garderais ton amour comme une cicatrice qui brille. [Duet]: If you left me... I'd survive, but never whole. [Bridge - Duet (Harmony)] [Male]: I'd speak to the wind, whispering your name, As if the breeze could piece the seasons back together. [Female (French)]: Je lui raconterais nos moments, nos doutes, nos éclats de joie, En espérant qu'un soir, il me ramène un peu de toi. [Duet]: I'd hold onto an ember, a light deep in my throat, The memory of you burning, even as the night fades away. [Guitar & Strings Solo - Vintage Analog Tone] [Final Chorus - Duet] [Male]: If you left me, I'd fall all over again, But I'd learn to walk with that part of myself. [Female (French)]: Ce que tu as laissé en moi — comme une preuve, comme un lien. [Male]: A love that survives even when it holds nothing anymore. [Duet]: If you left me... I'd remain standing, But never truly the same, never truly without "us". [Outro - Slow orchestral fade out] [Female (French)]: Jamais tout à fait sans nous... [Male]: Never truly without us.
