I painted over my pride that night
Colored it with a paint so white
Told you I was coming your way
You knew I had a novel to say

Saw your home from an airplane
You said "sorry I ain't glad you came
Let's avoid the parting by not meeting in vain
I wanna spare us from suffering again"

You wrote me dry your tears
And enjoy your stay
I know I broke you so
I'll be out of your way try to erase me
It's all for the best
And smile baby you're in Paris at last
try to erase me
It's all for the best
And smile baby you're in Paris

I've been drawing all these streets
Meeting everyone that I can meet
But in every corner of the city of lights
I thought I caught a glimpse of your eyes

Taxi left me on the 15th
On a chilly Tuesday night
I know I'm way out of myself
But if I recall it's your family time

You wrote me dry your tears
And enjoy your stay
I know I broke you so
I'll be out of your way
try to erase me
It's all for the best
And smile baby you're in Paris at last
I'll try to erase you
I know it's for the best
So I might as well enjoy paris
