Pièces détachées [English translation]

[Chorus]

The absence leaves me traces, traces that you erase

How can I live in peace if your love is harmful?

I don't need this, I don't need you

And our memories haunt me

One day you give me life, the next day you abandon me

If I'm looking for your ghost, how do I become a man?

I don't need this, I don't need you

But I miss your advice

[Couplet 1]

And I spent all my time running away, much like my father did

No, he's never really seen me grow up, I can't be his spitting image

He is the perfect counter-example, if I love him, I keep a certain amount of mistrust

I just inherited his name from a birth certificate

Can a neglected child raise his own ?

Will the lack of a role model prevent him from being a doting dad?

I promised myself I'd do it, but Mom says we're the same

Anxious and a player and I freak out whether it's in my genes

[Bridge 1]

Why have a child if I'm reproducing your mistakes?

Raising him by asking me which one of the two is raising the other?

I don't need this, he doesn't need this

And our memories haunt me

She's afraid I'll hurt her, I'm afraid to commit

In the end, all that remains: wasted feelings

I don't need this, she doesn't need this

And I miss your advice

[Verse 2]

Constance is my Achilles heel, all my relationships are fragile

When I love, it's up to the oedema, my "I love you" are April Fools

Often, she feels so alone that it reassures her when we fight

How can I tell her that running away turned me into an easy boy?

I'd rather let love slip away than relive dirty stories

Avoid my reflection in the mirror

Maybe I'm too lucid to believe it's impossible for me to be satisfied with her

I know she'll leave me for someone more stable and more loyal

[Bridge 2]

Family in pieces, made me crippled

Who will be able to repair my intimate wounds?

Family in pieces, made me crippled

Who will be able to repair my intimate wounds?

Family in pieces, made me crippled

Who will be able to repair my intimate wounds?

Family in pieces, made me crippled

Who will be able to repair my intimate wounds?

[Chorus]

The absence leaves me traces, traces that you erase

How can I live in peace if your love is harmful?

I don't need this, I don't need you

And our memories haunt me

One day you give me life, the next day you abandon me

If I'm looking for your ghost, how do I become a man?

I don't need this, I don't need you

But I miss your advice
