I would've ended up, I would've ended up
I would've ended up pleasing you
I would've ended up pleasing you
In a life where I find
The words
You would've ended up figuring me out
You would've caught the signals
And I would've so wanted to see
All the treasures
Hidden under your skin
I would've ended up charming you
You would've seen what's beautiful
In me
And give me ten seconds
To calm down
Two weeks to replay
The match
A life to satisfy you
I can love you without saying
A word
You just had to say it
Me, if you demand it, I can
Dazzle you
Disguise myself as a hero
An idiot, a dog
I give in to all the wishes
Of the one who doesn't even know anymore
Who I am
I would've ended up, I would've ended up
I would've ended up pleasing you
I would've ended up, I would've ended up
I would've ended up pleasing you
I drag your memory
Like a burden
You squat in my hard drive
I touch myself looking at
Our photos
Free me, hate me
Disgust me
Otherwise I can't do it
I'm too scared to miss the party
To miss out on you
And me, if you demand it, I can
Do it much better
Disguise myself as another
Vandalize me
Take what you want
Act as if
I wasn't already empty
I would've ended up, I would've ended up
I would've ended up pleasing you
I would've ended up, I would've ended up
I would've ended up pleasing you
I would've ended up, I would've ended up
I would've ended up pleasing you
I would've ended up, I would've ended up
I would've ended up pleasing you
I would've ended up losing myself
Running after ghosts
You would've ended up figuring me out
I would've never had my fill
Of you
And give me ten seconds
To calm down
Two weeks to replay the match
A life to make you proud
I can love you without saying a word

Fardeau translates to "burden" or "load". It's a word that carries significant emotional weight and isn't as commonly found in pop lyrics as more everyday vocabulary.

In the song, the artist sings, "Je traine ton souvenir comme un fardeau" (I drag your memory like a burden). This powerful imagery conveys the heavy, oppressive feeling of being unable to let go of a past relationship, making it a memorable and evocative word choice.

Have you ever wondered "what if?" after a missed romantic connection? Belgian artist Pierre De Maere captures this feeling perfectly in "J’aurais Fini Par Te Plaire," which translates to "I Would Have Ended Up Pleasing You." The song is a deep dive into the mind of someone convinced they could have won over the person they love, if only things were different. He imagines a world where he found the right words and they understood his signals, believing he could have charmed them and shown them his best side.

This isn't just a simple crush, though. The singer's feelings border on obsession. He's willing to change everything about himself, to become a hero, a fool, or even a dog, just to get their attention. He carries the memory of this person like a heavy burden ("un fardeau") and is so desperate to break free that he begs them to hate him. It's a powerful and relatable song about the pain of unrequited love and the danger of losing yourself while chasing a ghost.
