Lyrics The Renter Leaves - Alexandre Desplat, Jean-Yves Thibaudet

The Renter Leaves

If I stayed with you
I would live a lie
For you deserve a love
This heart cannot provide
So Ill wish you well
And be on my way
Im not the one who could give you what you need
So Ill bid you farewell but dont you dare watch me leave
I didn’t mean to
Hurt you this way
But Im not what you need
So I guess
Ill just be on my way
One day youll wake up
And thank me for what I did
When youre living your happy life
Behind your white fence, new husband and kids
Like a captured bird
Who yearns to sail the sky
I will unlock your cage now
So prepare to fly
And Ill kiss the air
And hope it finds you well
Goodbye
Im not the one who could give you what you need
So Ill bid you farewell but dont you dare watch me leave
I didn’t meant to
Hurt you this way
But Im not what you need
So I guess
Ill just be on my way
One day youll wake up
And thank me for what I did
When youre living your happy life
Behind your white fence, new husband and kids
I didn’t meant to
Hurt you this way
But Im not what you need
So I guess
Ill just be on my way
One day youll wake up
And thank me for what I did
When youre living your happy life
Behind your white fence, new husband and kids
So, Ill kiss the air
And hope it finds you well
Goodbye
