Je ne suis pas qu'un homme [Should've gone home] [English translation]

I lie to you, that’s all I do

And you see it through my eyes

I lie to you, but I already know

I’m soon caught

I never find anything better

Than believing I like your jealousy

I know we keep losing at this game

And someday you’ll be gone

It’s in my blood

Until it’s too much

I should’ve gone home

How hard can it be to say no?

I’m just a man

Who never learnt to say no

Why do I destroy every time

The best that I have?

‘Cause I harm myself as well

My life is taking on water

I’m addicted to this game

Wish I could just let it be

Should’ve left but I did it again

Now it all fires back at me

I avoid meeting your eyes

Fearing it could be too late

I should’ve gone home

How hard can it be to say no?

I’m just a man

Who never learnt to say no

Feels like I’ve been looking everywhere

Just to find out that it’s you

As if I was still going looking somewhere else

Looking somewhere else if we’re there1

I lie to you, that’s all I do

And you see it through my eyes

I’m just a man

Who never learnt to say no

I should’ve gone home

How hard can it be to say no?

I’m just a man

Who never learnt to say no

Feels like I’ve been looking everywhere

Just to find out that it’s you

As if I was still going looking somewhere else

Looking somewhere else if we’re there1

I should’ve gone home

1. a. b. A pun with a French idiom. Saying "va voir ailleurs si j'y suis !" (lit. "go see somewhere else if I'm there!") means "buzz off!". These two lines play on this meaning. Here, I only reported a literal translation
