Cher Ami Lyrics

[Part I: Intro]
Don't ask I can’t remember
The last time I was here with you
And me, naive, and I wrote you that letter
It said
I'm sorry for all I did
I'm still a kid
The innocence is gone
I pawned
And lost
That sacred treasure
Then you said
I’ll leave the scene
Ghost, I won't be seen
Quick and clean
Maybe someday we'll wake
And this all will be a dream

[Part II]
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took my pain and wrote that
And even after all we felt, how the *harmonic* you still only think about yourself
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took my name and wrote that
You took my heart and broke that
And now my heart is so black
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took your pain and wrote that
You took that, you broke that
You took that
You and I, stuck in lullabies
You took that, you broke that
You took that, you broke that
You took your pain and wrote that
You took that, you broke that
Outta sight, outta mind
Outta breath, running outta time
[Part III]
You had me
I had you
That makes two that I once knew
What do we do
Will we get through
To see the light
That guides our view
We touched the sky
When we both flew
We took a dive
And we both knew
What you and I
Would come to
So goodbye
I love y-

[Breakdown]
[Instrumental]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
