Serge Yulievitch Conus (Russian: Серге́й Юльевич Коню́с; October 18, 1902 – October 26, 1988) was a Russian pianist and composer who performed in the United States and Europe.
Conus was born in Moscow to an expatriate Russian father living in France (Julius Conus) and a Russian mother. His musical family also included his grandfather Eduard Conus, a professor at the Moscow Conservatory, and fellow professor and composer uncles Georgi and Lev Conus. He began studying piano at the age of four and wrote his first composition at the age of six. At seven, he composed a piece for piano and voice, and a gavotte, which he would later play for the Princess Heiress of Italy.
After obtaining his Baccalaureate degree at the Russian gymnasium of Essentuki, Conus left Russia in 1920 and rejoined his parents and his brother Boris in Paris, France. He continued his musical studies in the piano at the National Academy, with the famous pianists Isidor Philipp and Alfred Cortot as his teachers.
It can be a rush, yeah, it’s like a drug,
When you give up love it’s never worth it
When you’re fighting fear, it can be so clear,
What you really need is each other
But i finally found the truth: I was using you
Every night you’re gone I swear it hurts
You're the atmosphere, now you’re gone I can’t live,
Tell me what to do, I feel the pain all over my body
Was it the things I said, can I take them back?
Baby, cause without you theres nothing left of me
We can run away, we can change our fate,
Baby, what can I do to show you I’m sorry? (2x)
You were in a rush, you forgot your stuff
Said you’d had enough, now I feel worthless
The only thing I had was a second chance,
What I really need is another
But I finally found the truth: I was using you
Every night you’re gone I swear it hurts
You're the atmosphere, now you’re gone, I can’t live,
Tell me what to do, I feel the pain all over my body
Was it the things I said, can i take them back?
Baby, ’cause without you theres nothing left of me
We can run away, we can change our fate
Baby, what can I do to show you I’m sorry?
I'm sorry, babe, what can I do to show you I’m sorry?
Pulling away,
Girl, my heart is out of place
I feel it killing me
I made a mistake,
Girl, I promise I won’t make the same mistake twice,
Don’t say bye
I’m sorry (repeat)
What can i do to show you I’m sorry?
Was it the things i said, baby tell me what I did
Baby, without you there’s nothing left of me
Please tell me, we can run away, we can change our fate
