French Exit (Live from the Royal Albert Hall)

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna stay till the lights come on
I just can't relate to the words of this love song
What's it gonna take to right all the wrongs?
'Cause right now, I can't give you what you want

[Refrain]
Everybody's still dancin'
Everybody's holdin' hands and romancin'
Someone's gotta be the last one standin'
And I hate that I'm leaving you stranded

[Pre-Chorus]
But I gotta hit the road
Yeah, I gotta hit the road

[Chorus]
It's not a broken heart if I don't break it
Goodbye doesn't hurt if I don't say it
And I really hope you'll understand it
Only way to go is a French exit

[Post-Chorus]
French exit, filer à l'anglaise
French exit

[Verse 2]
Maybe time away will make it make sense
I'm better at a clean break than leaving doors open
I know you're gonna say I shoulda stayed till the end
But right now, I can't give you what you want

[Refrain]
Everybody's still dancin'
Everybody's holdin' hands and romancin'
Someone's gotta be the last one standin'
And I hate that I'm leaving you stranded

[Pre-Chorus]
But I gotta hit the road
Yeah, I gotta hit the road

[Chorus]
It's not a broken heart if I don't break it
Goodbye doesn't hurt if I don't say it
And I really hope you'll understand it
Only way to go is a French exit

[Bridge]
And you know, you know, you know, you know I'm right
And it's better to do this than say goodbye
And the only, only, only fix is time
And a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night

[Chorus]
It's not a broken heart if I don't break it (I)
Goodbye doesn't hurt if I don't say it
(And you know, you know, you know, you know I'm right)
And I really hope you'll understand it
(And you know, you know, you know, you know)
Only way to go is a French exit

[Post-Chorus]
French exit, filer à l'anglaise
French exit, c'est la seule solution
French exit
French exit
