Pas Toi
Jean-Jacques Goldman
Not You
Dig the bark until it bleeds
Nail the doors, imprison oneself
Living on dreams from staying up too late
Praying to shadows and walking so much
No matter how many times I tell myself it takes time
No matter how many times I write it so black on white
Whatever I do, wherever I am
Nothing erases you, I think of you
And whatever I learn, I don't know
Why I bleed and not you
Days go by, empty furrows
In reason and without love
My luck passes, the winds turn
The absence remains, persistently
No matter how many times I tell myself that's how it is
That without aging, we don't forget
Whatever I do, wherever I am
Nothing erases you, I think of you
And whatever I learn, I don't know
Why I bleed and not you
There's no hatred, there's no king
No god, no chain that we don't fight
But what is needed, what power
What weapon breaks the indifference
Oh it's not fair, it's badly written
Like an insult, more than disdain
Whatever I do, wherever I am
Nothing erases you, I think of you
And whatever I learn, I don't know
Why I bleed and not you
