Charles Aznavour - You Against Me

You against me
Without love, without heart
Here we stand with our masks torn away
You against me it's like a war
Where accountants keep the score
And the lawyers win the day

You against me
In a world as cold as stone
So apart, so unmoved, so alone
We tell the children
But they see through our lies
They see the truth in our eyes

We gave them life, we gave them pride
Now we simply turn aside
How could such things come to be
How did we make it here
To the point of no return
To the place were we just burn
On the edge of the sea

You against me in our sorrow and shame
Letting go after so many years
You against me it's like a game
Win or loose it's all the same
Win or loose it ends in tears

You against me and the children look out
Can they ever forget or forgive
They were the best
Of all the years that are gone
They were our reason to live

No, I won't play the weekend game
Little outings to the sea
Some day outings to the zoo
I'm like you, not for me
Being papa nine to five
Half a father, half a life
Not for me, not for you

You against me, without hope, without hate
Have we left it too late once again
We shared the world, we shared the life
Just like any man and wife
Was the world so different then

When there were storms
Still we weathered out the worst
We were there
At the end of the day
Sunshine or frost
We never counted the cost
And something got lost on the way

I can't believe our race is run
Can't believe our dance is done
Still believe that there can be
Wait and see, one more dance
One more chance to make it through
One more chance to make it true
Holding you against me.
