I Know

Claude Francois

I know, but it's hard to believe

I know that this time you will leave

We've tried so many times before

But now I must open the door



I know there is no more to say

I know I must go on my way

I know I should hide all my tears

I know I must face lonely years



And though I know, I know

I just can't believe

Someone else is holding you

For though I know, I know

That I have to leave

What is left for me to do ?



It's wrong to be envious of

The one who has taken your love

I know that I should wish you well

I know that my life will be hell



And though I know, I know

That I call my friends

With my endless says of war

For now I know, I know

You will leave my life

And you're all the life I know



I know I should try to forget

I know that it's wrong to regret

I know I'll remember the dreams

I know just what losing you means



And though I know, I know

I just can't believe

Someone else is holding you

For though I know, I know

That I have to leave

What is left for me to do ?
