C'est trop
Kendji Girac Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'que tu fais d'moi c'est insensé
Je n'sais plus sur quel pied danser
Tout comme les stations de métro
Pour toi je n'suis qu'un numéro
Tu me rends ouf tu m'pousses à bout
T'as manqué tous nos rendez-vous
Tu m'as donné tellement de coups
Que j'vais finir K.O debout

J'comprends pas, j'suis dépassé
C'que tu fais c'est déplacé
Cette nuit où t'étais passé?

Là c'est trop, moi j'abandonne
Moi j'abandonne, moi j'abandonne
Là c'est trop, moi j'abandonne
Moi j'abandonne, moi j'abandonne

Tu sais c'est pas pour te vexer
Pour t'le dire j'ai tout essayé
Tu passes ta vie à me stresser
Je vais finir par te laisser
On était bien, qu'est-c'qu'on s'aimait
Mais là le mal est consommé
Les mots j'peux même plus les trouver
Dis-moi c'qu'on peut encore sauver
Pour toi je fais des efforts
Même tes copines sont d'accord
Qu'est-c'que tu veux d'moi encore?

Là c'est trop, moi j'abandonne
Moi j'abandonne, moi j'abandonne
Là c'est trop, moi j'abandonne
Moi j'abandonne, moi j'abandonne

On va pas tout gâcher, encore se clasher
Exploser en plein vol et se crasher
On fait n'importe quoi faut pas s'gâcher
J'ai des choses à te dire quitte à t'fâcher
J'ai pas envie de te lâcher
Mais les mots faut pas les mâcher
Est-c'qu'un jour enfin tu vas changer?

Là c'est trop, là c'est trop
Là c'est trop, moi j'abandonne
Moi j'abandonne, moi j'abandonne

Là c'est trop, moi j'abandonne
Moi j'abandonne, moi j'abandonne
