"I thought I could break free by eliminating those I deemed my jailers."
Jamais ma faute
J'étais enfant, hein?
Pas mon responsabilite
Je disais toujours
C'est facile de faire faute
A quelqu'un d'autre
Ils ont fait la mauvaise chose
En premier
Bien sur que j'abandonnerais
Mais moi je serais
Dans mon prison
Enfin je les blâmer,
Mais maintenant
Je suis vide.
Ils sont partis, mais je suis encore piégé.
TRANSLATION (because I can do it better than Google)
Never my fault
I was a kid, yeah?
Not my responsibility
I said all the time
It's easy to lay the blame
On someone else
They did the wrong thing
First
Of course I'd let it go
But I'm in my prison
So I fault them
But now
I'm empty.
They're gone, but I'm still trapped.
