Comme Moi
Shakira Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm living with a broken heart
I never meant to do you harm
Don't ever wanna see you cry, again
And everybody hurts sometimes
I never meant to do you wrong
I know you're gonna be just fine, you said

I wish we could go back in time
See the world with different eyes
Knowing what we both know now
Could've made it work somehow

What we said, what we say
What we make we can't unmake
What we give is what we get
And this is what we're stuck with now
But we said, whatever that we said
What we make you know we can't unmake
What we give is only what we get
And this is what we're stuck with now

I'm living with a broken heart
I never meant to do you harm
Don't ever wanna see you cry, again
But everybody hurts sometimes
I never meant to do you wrong
I know you're gonna be just fine, you said

I wish we could go back in time
Find the road that dots in one
Roll up darling we would be
Beautiful like harmony

What we said, what we say
What we make we can't unmake
What we give is what we get
And this is what we're stuck with now
But we said whatever that we said
What we make you know we can't unmake
What we get is only what we gave
And this is what we're stuck with now

I'm living with a broken heart
I never meant to do you harm
Don't ever wanna see you cry, again
But everybody hurts sometimes
I never meant to do you wrong
I know you're gonna be just fine, you said

Do you remember how you used to get lost in my eyes
(I remember, darling)
Do you remember how you promised you'd never say goodbye?
I remember, I remember, I remember

But we said and what we said
What we make we can't unmake
What we give is only what we get
And this is what we're stuck with now

I'm living with a broken heart
I never meant to do you harm
Don't ever wanna see you cry, again
But everybody hurts sometimes
I never meant to do you wrong




I know you're gonna be just fine, you said
Again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Shakira's song Comme Moi revolve around a broken heart and the regret and realization that even though they cannot change the past and what has been said and done, they can still look back on it with clarity and see what could have been done differently if they only knew then what they know now. The singer never intentionally meant to harm the one they loved and doesn't want to see them cry again. Everyone goes through hurt and pain sometimes, and the singer acknowledges their role in causing some of that pain. The singer wishes they could go back in time and see the world in a different way, with a new perspective, so that they could have made things work somehow.


The lyrics also touch on the fact that what has been said and done cannot be taken back or undone, and the consequences of those actions are what one must live with. The singer and their ex-partner said things and made decisions that cannot be undone, and they cannot change what they have given or received. They are left with the reality of their situation and must deal with the consequences of their actions.


Overall, the song is a reflection on the pain of lost love and the regret that comes with knowing that things could have been different. The singer wishes they could turn back time and make things work, but they also acknowledge the reality of their situation and the fact that they must deal with the situation as it is.
