Je n'existe pas...

Half past three in the morning
With your legs wrapped around my waist
I woke up with words hitting my head
"Je n'existe pas
Je n'existe pas pour toi..."

My shadow hovering around your sleeping face
My fingers clutching your chest hair
My breath on your cheeks
My tears still wet on your pillow
"Je n'existe pas
Je n'existe pas pour toi..."


A phantom body in your closet
A shadow woman behind your closed door
A flitting glance at two past midnight
A passing laugh with a glass of wine
"Je n'existe pas
Je n'existe pas pour toi..."

No words for me
As I am not the princess behind the bar
Twirling, smiling, gliding, tossing
Teasing you with her glance askance
Princess in your poems for her
"Je n'existe pas
Je n'existe pas pour toi..."

No words for me
As I am not the dazzler on trips with you
Venturing out in dust and fun
In trains to past on a summer day
Wanted most in your dreams
"Je n'existe pas
Je n'existe pas pour toi..."

No words for me
As I am not the whirlwind across the world
Across the world and across your life
Hurricane in a big fun land
Taking you on a maddening ride
Up and down, and round and round
Roller coasting with your mind
"Je n'existe pas
Je n'existe pas pour toi...."

"Got the girl"
"Wish I was there"
"Dreaming of you tonight"
Not for me, not for me.

Who am I
Who am I

A Phantom lady

Here I come

"Je n'existe pas
Je n'existe pas pour toi...."
