Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je n'fait plus marche arrière Je regarde loin devant Je ne cherche pas a leurs plaire Je vis comme je le sens
Je cache sous ma crinière De drôle de sentiments Je repousse mes frontières Je ne fais jamais semblant
Refrain J'ai vu l'envers du décor oh oh oh Chacune de mes larmes changer en or J'ai su y croire encore oh oh oh Conjurer le mauvais sort Mes Aventures s'écrivent Et mes blessures me suivent J'ai su redoubler d'effort oh oh oh J'fait ça a raison ou a tort

Je barricade mon coeur J'ai l'amour méfiant Chaque fois l'amour m'effleure Mais ne dure qu'un instant
Des douleurs qu'on enterre Qui n'soublie pas vraiment Mensonge et trahison Je perdrai plus mon temps
J'ai vu l'envers du décor oh oh oh Chacune de mes larmes changer en or J'ai su y croire encore oh oh oh Conjurer le mauvais sort Mes Aventures s'écrivent Et mes blessures me suivent J'ai su redoubler d'effort oh oh oh J'fait ça a raison ou a tort

Indépendante je vis ma vie Oh oh oh oh oh oh J'me laisse porté par la nuit.

J'ai vu l'envers du décor oh oh oh Chacune de mes larmes changer en or J'ai su y croire encore oh oh oh Conjurer le mauvais sort Mes Aventures s'écrivent Et mes blessures me suivent J'ai su redoubler d'effort oh oh oh J'fait ça a raison ou a tort
