And she remembers your face when you were young and bright
A proud french soldier fighting for his nation and his rank
Educated by war, you told her you were a lord
She should have risen the challenge, and thank god
Every single day, trying to be a better wife a silent mother
Consumed by the doubts and lies of another time.
And you tried to kill her, she was too old for you.
She's only guilty of a lack of love
And I don't know if I could be better if you hadn't been
Despite this I'll never know the whole truth
Familly's ghosts can change all the rules.
And I don't know if I could be better.
I don't know if anything would have been different for your son
