Phénix V — Album Track 06
Album: Ce qu’il reste de moi
Official release: October 21, 2026
Three Hearts
What happens when three people care deeply for one another, but each in a different way, with different emotional needs?
Throughout my life, I had always been used to solving problems. Thinking ahead, analysing situations, exploring possibilities, and continuing to try until I found a solution.
So when I found myself in a situation involving three people, each with their own feelings and needs, I tried to approach it in exactly the same way.
I believed that with enough understanding, patience, and good intentions, there had to be a solution in which everyone could find their place.
But I discovered that emotions don’t work like practical problems.
You can think things through endlessly, try even harder, or do everything possible to consider everyone else’s feelings. When the heart becomes involved, things don’t always follow the logic of the mind.
And that was precisely what made it so difficult for me.
The harder I tried to make everyone happy and avoid losing anyone, the less attention I paid to what I needed myself.
Trois cœurs is about that conflict between the head and the heart.
About three people who were connected, but not all in the same way. And about my attempt to solve something, using the approach that had helped me throughout my life, that simply couldn’t be solved in the same way.
I thought I could keep three hearts together.
But I still had to learn that feelings cannot be repaired the way you solve a problem.
Lyrics
Read the complete song lyrics (original French version and English translation).
J’avais ouvert mon cœur
Au moment où j’en avais le plus besoin
I had opened my heart
When I needed it most
Je découvrais enfin
Ce que voulait dire être bien
I was finally discovering
What it meant to truly feel good
Et pourtant devant moi
La tendresse changeait de mains
And yet, right before my eyes
Tenderness was passing from one person to another
Je souriais
Je comprenais
I smiled
I understood
Pendant que quelque chose
Se brisait en silence en moi
While something inside me
Was silently breaking
Je voulais que personne ne manque de rien
I wanted no one to go without anything
Alors je donnais
Encore
So I kept giving
Again
Même quand c’était moi
Qui avais besoin qu’on reste
Even when I was the one
Who needed someone to stay
Trois cœurs
Trop d’amour pour si peu d’espace
Three hearts
Too much love for so little space
Trois cœurs
Qui se cherchaient sans trouver leur place
Three hearts
Searching for each other without finding where they belonged
Je voulais garder tout le monde
Sans demander qui me garderait
I wanted to keep everyone close
Without asking who would hold on to me
Trois cœurs
Three hearts
Et plus je nous tenais
And the harder I tried to hold us together
Plus je disparaissais
The more I disappeared
Je te mettais toujours devant
Et toi tu me le reprochais
I always put you first
And you reproached me for it
Tu disais
Qu’elle aussi méritait
Qu’on la regarde davantage
You said
That she also deserved
More attention
Elle revenait vers moi
Moi je retournais vers toi
She kept coming back to me
And I kept turning back to you
On essayait tous
De donner quelque chose
We were all trying
To give something
Mais jamais vraiment
Au bon endroit
But never quite
Where it was needed
Et chaque fois
Que quelqu’un souffrait
And every time
Someone was hurting
Je cherchais en moi
Ce que j’avais encore mal fait
I searched within myself
For what I had done wrong again
Comme si la douleur des autres
As if the pain of others
Était toujours
Ma responsabilité
Was always
My responsibility
Trois cœurs
Trop d’amour pour si peu d’espace
Three hearts
Too much love for so little space
Trois cœurs
Qui se cherchaient sans trouver leur place
Three hearts
Searching for each other without finding where they belonged
Je voulais garder tout le monde
Sans demander qui me garderait
I wanted to keep everyone close
Without asking who would hold on to me
Trois cœurs
Three hearts
Et plus je nous tenais
And the harder I tried to hold us together
Plus je disparaissais
The more I disappeared
J’ai voulu sauver trois cœurs
I wanted to save three hearts
Avec deux mains
Déjà fatiguées
With two hands
Already tired
J’ai voulu protéger
Comprendre
Pardonner
Réparer
I wanted to protect
Understand
Forgive
Repair
J’ai mis mes besoins
Tout au fond
I pushed my own needs
Deep down
Parce que perdre quelqu’un
Me faisait plus peur
Because losing someone
Frightened me more
Que me perdre moi
Than losing myself
Et quand tout est devenu trop fort
And when everything became too overwhelming
Je ne voulais plus réfléchir
I didn’t want to think anymore
Je voulais seulement
I only wanted
Que le bruit s’arrête
The noise to stop
Quelques secondes
For a few seconds
Juste le silence
Just silence
Je croyais qu’aimer assez fort
Empêcherait quelqu’un de tomber
I believed that loving someone enough
Could keep them from falling
Mais à force de retenir tout le monde
But by trying so hard to hold everyone together
Nous sommes tombés
Tous les trois
We all fell
All three of us
Trois cœurs
Trop d’amour pour si peu d’espace
Three hearts
Too much love for so little space
Trois cœurs
Et personne n’en est sorti intact
Three hearts
And no one came out unscathed
Je voulais garder tout le monde
Je ne voulais blesser personne
I wanted to keep everyone close
I didn’t want to hurt anyone
Trois cœurs
Three hearts
J’ai tellement essayé
De ne perdre aucun de vous
I tried so hard
Not to lose either of you
Que je me suis perdu
That I lost myself
Moi
Myself
Je voulais seulement
Que personne ne parte
I only wanted
No one to leave
Je voulais seulement
Que personne n’ait mal
I only wanted
No one to be hurt
Et quand tout s’est arrêté
And when everything came to a stop
Il restait trois cœurs
Three hearts remained
Trois blessures
Three wounds
Et moi
And me
Quelque part entre les deux
Somewhere between the other two
