Elle M'A Aimé

I think I was just too cowardly
To say goodbye to her eye to eye
Leaving without even taking a bag
Thinking I was doing what was best
I always have the same dream
I see myself going back in time
Returning to our most beautiful walks
Both of us on the docks, eyes towards the horizon

She loved me with all her love, with all her heart
She gave me everything she had when I was nothing
What did I give in return?
I only caused her grief
She who dreams only of love
I had her heart in my hands

Bitter memories
Caress my most sensitive doubts
Knowing that my past actions remain irreversible forever
I know I wasn't meant for her
Why did I miss her so much?
I think about making myself sick
And every night I hope to find the reason

She loved me with all her love, with all her heart
She gave me everything she had when I was nothing
What did I give in return?
I only caused her grief
She who dreams only of love
I had her heart in my hands

I saw her again two years later
Mother of a pretty little girl
I understood it was too late
In her eyes, that shining light
She told me she has the same dream
Seeing herself going back in time
Returning to our most beautiful walks
Hoping that I'll come back home someday

She loved me with all her love, with all her heart
She gave me everything she had when I was nothing
What did I give in return?
I only caused her grief
She who dreams only of love
I had her heart in my hands
