Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
The applause nails down my silence
[Verse 2]
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
[Verse 3]
I see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And they all hope I'm feeling well
I retreat into self pity
It's so easy
When they patronize my misery
[Verse 4]
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
[Verse 5]
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
[Verse 6]
I sold my medal, it paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades, Milan catwalks
Oh, the sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby, it's here to stay
[Verse 7]
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
