Mais Pourtant

You do as your father tells you
And you have blinders on your eyes
You often say
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
But yet

You got me into trouble
Without even providing the teaspoon
You often say
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
But yet

One evening
You fall asleep
In the morning, when you open your eyes
Around you, there's nothing but this emptiness that resembles you a little

You thought you had conquered
Business, love, life
You often say
Knock on wood
But yet

You wanted a pair of children
The better to complain about it on the couch
You often say
I'm crossing my fingers
But yet

One evening
You fall asleep
In the morning, when you open your eyes
Around you, there's nothing but this emptiness that resembles you a little
But yet
Yet
Yet
