lyrics

Valjean, what have you done to me?
Valjean, what have you done to me?
There you stood, me, lying in the gutter
One strike, it could have been over,
Did you know what you did when you set me free?

Valjean, what have you done to me?
I'm lost and I can't see the stars shine
And their light doesn't help me see
And you won't leave, trapped inside my mind
Mon dieu, this devil is shaking the ground
The sky's falling down

And you can't be what I need
But I can't dig out this seed

Won't you tell me why I'm not okay
And you make the night not follow day
And you're all I've got, can't find my way
Looking down I see your face
The water rising up

And now I've got to shed my chains
This bondage does more than restrain
I've got to find the night again

You are a man I cannot shake
A man my god needs to forsake
I'm tempted by this sinless snake

And you can't be what I need
But I can't dig out this seed

Won't you tell me why I'm not okay
And you make the night not follow day
And you're all I've got, can't find my way
Looking down I see your face
The water rising up

You're all that I know
I'm swimming against the flow
You call out to me
And your words make me bleed
I can't get enough of you
So I know my time is through

Won't you tell me why I'm not okay
And you make the night not follow day
And you're all I've got, can't find my way
Looking down I see your face
The water rising up
