IMEN ES – Fantôme (English lyrics)

1st verse :
There’s so many episodes between us, I can’t even count how many anymore
I was dead but I was following you around like your shadow
A scenario written with my tears and with a little bit of ink
But I was clueless when I dropped my anchor at your port
You guys don’t know what it’s like to have your heart torn apart
When I tried to sew it back together, right away, it unraveled
You were so absent that I became depressed
I wanted us to have a dialogue but I ended up blathering

Pre chorus :
You drove me paranoid, depressed, agressive, bipolar, angry
Nervous, I’ve suffered too much

Chorus :
I ran away like an antilope
You were the poison, there was no antidote
If you want me to go deeper :
You were just a white paper in the envelope
No emotion, you were just a clone
I thought you were just in character
So I yelled in order to affect you
But how can I affect a ghost ?

Post chorus :
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh
How can I affect a ghost ?
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh
How can I affect a ghost ?

2nd verse :
You’re at the front row, admire the show
Of a broken woman that is avoiding the obstacles
You weren’t my sun, you were nothing but a cloud packed with storms
I should have listened to my best friend, she predicted it like the oracle
You played hard to get, you played yourself
Invitations declined then you ran away
All of your lies, I made them my truths
I shut my own self up, so I delivered my own slef

Pre chorus :
You drove me paranoid, depressed, agressive, bipolar, angry
Nervous, I’ve suffered too much

Chorus :
I ran away like an antilope
You were the poison, there was no antidote
If you want me to go deeper :
You were just a white paper in the envelope
No emotion, you were just a clone
I thought you were just in character
So I yelled in order to affect you
But how can I affect a ghost ?

Post chorus :
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh
How can I affect a ghost ?
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh
How can I affect a ghost ?

Bridge :
How could I have followed you ? That’s the reason why I’m lost
I coudln’t see the red flags, I couldn’t feel the spikes
How could I have followed you ? That’s the reason why I’m lost
I couldn’t see the red flags, I couldn’t feel the spikes

Chorus :
I ran away like an antilope
You were the poison, there was no antidote
If you want me to go deeper :
You were just a white paper in the envelope
No emotion, you were just a clone
I thought you were just in character
So I yelled in order to affect you
But how can I affect a ghost ?

Post chorus :
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh
How can I affect a ghost ?
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh
How can I affect a ghost ?

Outro :
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh
How can I affect a ghost ?
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh
How can I affect a ghost ?
