I revisit my past
Those days in bed
With the letters I read for my birthday
The blown out candles, your promises to the wind
Now I can't because I'm working, I'll call you back later
I owe my mother the strength to console me
After school with tickets for Father's Day
It was Estelle who kept all my tears
Because my father wasn't there as I grew up

The resemblance is just an act of consolation
Blood of my blood, but always elsewhere
Affection can't be bought, it remains an illusion
While I will embrace the absence of a parent
And now?

Where are you?

Adolescence arrives
And the first love
The psychologist says "it's better if you let it go"
I never come back for lunch
Mom eats the pain
The leftovers of happiness hurt even more
Where were you, father, on the day of her funeral?
When she cried with her head held high and no one said anything
Silently waiting for you behind a cell phone
Where were you dad when I was hurting?

The resemblance is just an act of consolation
Blood of my blood, but always elsewhere
Affection can't be bought, it remains an illusion
While I will embrace the absence of a parent
And now?

Where are you?

Father
Where are you?
Father
Where are you?
