I was a father, a husband, a loved man
No winters in my life, just summers
A car, some studies and a job
A house in my name, I was fulfilled
I don't want your sandwich
And even less of your pity
You know, before, I was rich, yeah
I was powerful, I shined
I'm not yelling, I'm explaining
You'd better listen to me
You can be at your zenith
And on the sidewalk the next day
I was the one who sees the sea in July
The one who spends Christmas well surrounded
Every morning, my kids' smiles
A good coffee, my paper and my croissants
Have you already forgotten me
I was the one who left you the change
How about giving it back to me
F*ck you like I f*ck the world
You're all pretending, you all know who I am
I haven't changed, I just moved
And I can't feed my little girl anymore
I see myself in your little lives
How I loved my little life
I get drunk, you avoid me
I stink, so you say
I don't want your sandwich, f*ck, it won't make me forget
That I saw myself at the zenith and on the sidewalk the next day
When do I go home
I blame others but I'm the one who failed
I betrayed my coworker to take his spot
Lied to my kids for nothing, like a coward
I cheated on my wife, caused fights at home
Broke everything when she asked me for details
So sure that I was owed all of it
The bailiff warned me but I was too stubborn
Life gave me what's priceless
But I spat on it so she took it back
That's how my life waltzes
That's how my life waltzes
That's how my life waltzes
That's how my life waltzes
That's how my life waltzes
