Islème Sassi (2011)

I know you didn't believe I would grow to be

A threat to your peace of mind

It took you by surprise that your girl would rise

So high while coming from low

You stayed where you are

While I stretched and reached as far as I could

Now look at the two of us

How far we have fallen apart

You could have followed me

But it was hard work

I stayed late up at night

I woke early in the morning

When the moon still reigned

I analysed, I memorised

I got up the steps one by one

Till I saw the all

Now you want a reunion

But what you don't see is

By now you won't understand one word I say

You will give up the second time

I catch my breath

Do you remember the times

When I was weak

And you were strong

You named the world for me

My encyclopedia

And I just hoped I would ever be like you

But now I see it was mediocrity

And if you hadn't forsaken me

I wouldn't be that mean

But your stubbornness, your cowardice

Have ripped our bonds apart

I'd never follow you now

I tore myself off the superstition and hypocrisy

I purified my soul

Now what will we do

Are we one or are we two

I still know you'd do anything for me

Except to say I'm right

And I bow before the Fates

Linking us together in love and hate
