lyrics

French Movie

I was watching this movie and I had to pay attention
'Cause everyone was speaking French
A man and a woman, they were standing in a doorway
They asked very plainly for what they wanted

And I thought of you, how you led me to believe
Things were one way when they were another
You were not straight with me, you did as you pleased
I did things for you when I didn't want to

I've got this one friend she calls herself a warhorse of love
We stay up late talking
She's got an old record player in a room lit by candles
She says it's not easy for anyone

I know it's not gonna happen, but if for some reason
We pass each other in the street
If I am walking by myself or with someone else
Just let me go where I am going

I read a poem a man wrote not long ago, he said it happens at least once to everyone
He also said knowing that doesn't make much difference
He said a lot of people think they're surviving, they think they're really making it through
When all they're doing is simply becoming hard

I don't want to make other people pay, they have their own things they're going through
They don't have anything to do with you
I don't wish the same pain on you, what good would it do?
It wouldn't change anything for me

The longer I'm here the more I see
There's people of all kinds
I just never thought I'd have to worry about you
