lyrics

I fell so far down when you kicked my poor old heart around
You kept me hanging on with a stray text sent at the crack of dawn
But you had your girls and your dumb friends to call upon
Now they're finding out that you're untrue your luck is out.

Adieu,
Monsieur,
I think we can be sure
You are a failure

You were once my king with your sweet little looks and your diamond ring
But I grew to find that underneath you were not so fine
It was plain to see that you had no feelings for me
So I've shut the door on you my cold ex-paramour

Adieu,
Monsieur,
I think we can be sure
You are a failure

Adieu,
Monsieur,
I think we can be sure
Your heart is not pure

You can't break me, this road will take me
To where I need to be and you won't share my destiny
You won't replace me so take it gracefully
When I succeed you won't be pleased to see me singing my "adieu"

So I'm moving on with my eyes on the prize and you off my mind
You can see I'm strong when you put your peeping glasses on
But I don't look back 'cos the future's bright and your heart is black
All I say to you is study this song for the clue

Adieu,
Monsieur,
Adieu,
Failure

Adieu,
Monsieur,
Adieu,
Loser.
