Les Lignes De Nos Mains
Patricia Kaas Lyrics

I do not see the way out
I'm lost and don't know how to find a solution to our problems.

I do not really know how
I lack the knowledge and ability to fix things.

Like a shot in the dark went your hallowed ground
You took a risk without certainty and lost something precious.

Had you taken too much
You have been selfish and taken more than you deserved.

Keep him well out of touch
You've isolated yourself and prevented anyone from helping you.

And refused to let him go
You've held onto your pain and struggles, not allowing anyone to help you let go.

I cannot see to your pain
I'm not equipped to handle the depth and intensity of your pain.

I do not hear you complain
You keep your pain and concerns to yourself, making it harder for anyone to help you.

You are now but a dot in the pouring rain
You've become insignificant and lost in the chaos of life.

You created this mess
The problems and difficulties we're facing are a result of your actions and choices.

Now he's bent to your stress
Your stress has affected and burdened others, leaving them to carry the weight of your problems.

And it seems to suit you well
You appear to be content with others bearing the brunt of your issues.

One and only
There is only one of you in this world.

Two can be lonely
Being alone with just one other person can be a difficult and isolating experience.

One last child
The final child to come into the world.

Blessed and unholy
The child is both fortunate and cursed.

In his eyes the storm's surely rising up
The child is experiencing turmoil and chaos in their life.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Instrumental break

You cannot turn this around
There is no way to fix the situation we're in.

Like a walk in the dark
We're lost and have no idea how to find our way out.

You have weighed him down
Your problems and issues have had a negative impact on someone else.

I can't stand in your place
I can't take your pain away or fix your problems for you.

Can't take this away
There is no way to make your pain and struggles disappear.

It was all too good to be true
Our happiness and contentment was short-lived and unrealistic.

You never talk about it
You keep your problems and pain to yourself, making it harder for anyone to help you.

You never scream about it
You internalize your struggles and deal with them on your own.

You took a spirit young and whole
You've negatively impacted and changed someone who was once full of life and energy.

And turned the child to an old soul
The child has become jaded and experienced beyond their years, losing their youthfulness and joy for life.

You covet things that you don't own
You want things you can't have, leading to disappointment and bitterness.

You turned the child to an old soul
The child has been negatively impacted by your actions, making them feel older and more jaded than they should at their age.
