Merci
Grã©goire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je sais que l'on ce connaît peu
Mais je dois vous faire un aveu
J'ai l'impression bizarre étrange
Qu'aujourd'hui mon bonheur se venge

Lui que ma peine avait punie
Relégué au rang de bannie
Il se relève et règne en maître

C'est vous qui l'avait fait renaître

Alors merci

Car vous sentir me fait du bien
Et dans vos bras je suis quelqu'un
Je n'ai plus besoin d'avoir peur
Je n'ai plus besoin d'être ailleurs

Sous vos regards je me sens beau
Et parfois peu être un peu trop
Mais je n'oublie pas d'où je viens
Bien avant vous je n'étais rien

Alors merci, merci

Me mettre à nu et sans tabou
N'est pas facile devant vous
Mais je m'en fou et je me lance
Car ce qui tu c'est le silence

Alors merci, d'être là
Si prés de moi
