Martin Guerre soundtrack – Tell Me To Go lyrics

Arnaud
Look
Tell me to go
This can't go on, I should be gone
Tell me to go
Please...
Tell me to leave
This is all wrong, I don't belong
Tell me to go
Though I was given his name...
No! How could I be the same as him?
He was part of your life
Lived a life I was made for, that I prayed for all those years
Somewhere, where I hoped to find someone
Now I find myself near you, if I hear you say the words
I'll go
Bertrande
(she turns away from him and lifts her hands in prayer)
Oh Lord, who is this man?
Can I trust what I've heard?
All I can hear is his pain
Has he crafted each word?
And yet there's something more...
Has something died or is this what I've waited for?
No!
Arnaud
Tell me to go
Bertrande
This can't go on!
Arnaud
I should be gone, tell me to go
Bertrande
Lord!
Arnaud
Tell me to leave
Bertrande
This must be wrong!
Arnaud
I don't belong, tell me to go
They think Martin is my name
They all believe I'm a part of your life
All the years that I waited, was it fated from the start?
Somewhere, where I hoped to find someone
Now if I find myself near you, if I hear you say the words...
Bertrande (overlapping with above)
They all believe it's just a name!
They believe you're the same, that you are a part of my life
All the years that I waited, was it fated from the start?
Somewhere, where I hoped to find someone
Now I find myself near you
And I hear you say the words...
Arnaud
I'll go...
Just one last look at you, one look and then I'll go my way...
Bertrande
They'll make me marry a man I hate. I was only safe when Martin was alive
Arnaud
I'm the only one who knows he died. No one else need ever know.
Bertrande
Who else knows you're not Martin?
Arnaud
Only the fool, Benoit.
Bertrande
He will not betray me, he's my friend. No one else need ever know...
Arnaud
Please...tell me to leave!
(The villagers return. Bertrande turns to leave, and runs into
Guillaume. She pulls away from him in disgust, and embraces Arnaud.
The villagers cheer. Bertrande and Arnaud are separated by the
villagers, who congratulate them, but they continue to stare at each other.)
