Ce Que L'on Cache

I showed you what we hide
What we keep hidden in the night
What remains after the rain
Beneath the silence, the noise

I showed you what we hide
What hits beneath my skin
There, in the butter, the knife
Beneath the innocence, the cry

What we keep hidden so quietly
Brings me a little closer to you
What we hide, I think
Is life clinging to us
What we hide, hum

I showed you what we erase
What we give to no one
What I can never forgive myself for
There, in my ear, all the volumes

I showed you what we hide
What remains after love
What surrenders in broad daylight
What is torn away
What always runs

What we keep hidden so quietly
Brings me a little closer to you
What we hide, I think
Is the Life that clings to itself
What we hide, hum

I showed you so you would know
That you keep me beneath your night
That you stay after my rain
That our love be spoken
