Shape
Sarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you say you're done
i say, that's fine
i never needed no one
and you know i'm gonna be strong, so
i ask if you're sure
say you loved no one quite like this
like i'm supposed to feel lucky
like you're not leaving me

why you gotta change shape like that?
why you gotta go and change shape like that?
why you gotta run away like that?
why you gotta go and runaway like that?

this is your fault
i can't love him quite like i really should
holding back like a motherfucker
sometimes he reminds me of you
always telling me i'm doing something wrong
hot and cold
i'm losing control
out of control
you're the reason why i can't trust anyone
i don't trust no one

why you had to change shape like that?
why you had to go and change shape like that?




why you had to run away like that?
why you had to go and runaway like that?

Encore une tuerie!!!😉 tes adaptations et traductions sont toujours très bien faites j'imagine le travail d'écriture et de placement de voix que ça doit être et grâce à ta détermination c'est toujours un plaisir de découvrir une nouvel chanson où un nouveau cover.
Courage à toi pour la suite de ta carrière et de ta vie. 😉

Loving it more than the original
And French is such a beautiful language
I'm enjoying learning it to no limits

Miss Flinde

J'adore votre manière de chanter et votre voix est magnifique

Je suis arrivé ici par hasard. Étant anglais, je
connais la version originale très bien, mais j'adore votre façon de capturer le
sens des paroles, mais en français. C'est quelque chose difficile à faire, mais
très bien fait ici. Bravo!

HyperCalmeQc

Is it a translator or you just know french really well?
