Miles away

"Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag

and smile smile smile

While you've a lucifer to light your fag

smile, boys, that's the style.

What's the use of worrying?

It never was worth while, so

pack up your troubles in your old kit bag

and smile smile smile".

Mademoiselle Juliette,

Everyone knew it was not a war worth fighting, but we had to bleed to death to understand what was happening.

Enough is enough

So it seems that in the end you couldn't keep the promises you made. And that's fine, I'm used to it by now.
I never knew what to expect so I expected nothing, but when someone gives you the world you start thinking you may have found something. 
Wrong, you lied, and everything you swore you wouldn't do you went and did. "What a disappointment, what a waste of breath" I'm sure that's exactly what you're expecting me to say, but I will never be as mean, as deceiving as you were.
I've been called names, I've been beaten to the floor, but I can't accept a lie when it comes to love. 
Your actions contradict your words and I wonder when you're being honest and when you're just playing a role. A man is a two-face and that I've always known, it just kills me to witness this meltdown, this faux.




Mademoiselle Juliette,
So here's everything coming down to nothing. Here's to silence that cuts me to the core. Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore.

Better off

You don't hurt the ones you love, no you don't,
you don't walk away from something
when it doesn't go the way you want, just because, no you don't.
One day you'll grow up and you'll realize you're wrong.
One day, maybe too late, you'll understand I'm better off.


Mademoiselle Juliette,
I know it's been a year. I know you're not coming back. I know I'm so much better off yet I still miss you somehow. You never did anything to deserve me, I'll always be the best you had.

To heal you have to live, you have to leave.

Sometimes it's not the chronological aspect of time that heals the wounds, but the moments you live and the things that happen during that period of time.
I've been to hell and back, I carry all sorts of ghosts and skeletons in my back. Months, years have passed by and things are finally falling into place, very slowly, one by one.
I thought I was never going to overcome this, I thought the end of you meant the end of me but I proved myself I'm not that weak.
I'm back and I'm almighty, while people die for their dreams I live to see them come true and it's magic. Everything I've always wanted now I have it, and I didn't need you to get any of it.
Life is better without you, and even though I still wish you the worst, today I couldn't care less about what happens to you.


Mademoiselle Juliette,
Thank you for showing me that best friends cannot be trusted, and thank you for lying to me. Your friendship, the good times we had, you can have them back.

Game over

I know I shouldn't even think about you, let alone have feelings for you.
Still you're the only thing in my mind and I love you a bit more every day that goes by.
I'm done with the rhetorical questions, the doubts and the crying,
I'm through with lying, what I feel is real, no point in trying to deny it.


Mademoiselle Juliette,
You'll never get to heaven if you dance like that.

Secret

There's always something I'm not saying, something I keep to myself
life's a path that's full of secrets and these I really don't want to tell
just promise me you'll love me, even if I don't say it all
promise me you'll try to accept the fact that there are things you cannot know.

My mind likes to play tricks on me, but those are stories you don't need to hear
because if I mentioned every thought, every problem, every single moment of hesitation
you would run away in a heartbeat, and that's what I'm trying to avoid:
the look of disappointment that says it's all over.


Mademoiselle Juliette,
Friends think I'm wrong for being head over heels. I should be strong, should I stay and deal with it? Or should I just let go?

Pasados

Extraño tu pobre elocuencia, tu dura honestidad
y esa capacidad de enojarte por nada en particular.
Nunca te entendí del todo, pero eso jamás importo,
porque fuimos perfectos a nuestro modo
sin escuchar mucho a nadie más.

Y hoy, ya de lejos, te recuerdo y te hablo
me pregunto por que estamos como estamos
y me doy cuenta de como pasa el tiempo
de como nos alejamos, de como crecemos.


Mademoiselle Juliette,
No one believes you any lie.

You're a canary

I'm not as sad as I come across,
I'm not half the person I thought I was.

You're not perfect and you've let me down,
but I take things as they come
and I'm not giving up on us.

Save your kisses and your sighs,
don't even try with other girls
'cause you will only waste your time.

It's always been me, baby,
I can tell by the way you stare and smile.


Mademoiselle Juliette,
A very confusing way to feel.
