Cette chanson de Bat For Lashes, au-delà d’être très belle, a des paroles qui me font étonnement du bien, alors qu’on pourrait imaginer le contraire.

We walked arm in arm
But I didn’t feel his touch
A desire I’d first tried to hide,
That tingling inside was gone
And when he asked me:
‘do you still love me?’
I had to look away
I didn’t want to tell him
That my heart grows colder with each day

When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are wrong
???
Then I ask you now, what’s a girl to do?

He said he’d take me away
That we’d work things out
And I didn’t want to tell him
But it was then I had to say
Over the times we’ve shared
It’s all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away

When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are ?
???
Then I ask you now, what’s a girl to do?
