What Did I Do
Sophie Delila Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

[Sophie Delila]
I remind you of a girl you used to know
She used to wait for you, to call and say hello
Now she's got
Ways that you don't understand
Guess that's why you don't want us to be friends

[Christophe Willem]
Ça me rend fou
Je te veux tant mais je ne sais plus quoi faire
(quoi faire, quoi faire)
T'as semé le doute
Depuis ce jour-là, le monde tourne à l'envers

[Sophie Delila]
You wanted me then but you don't want me now
Not as a friend and you won't tell me why

[Christophe Willem]
J'aurais si peur de me brûler les ailes
Puisque l'amour me fait défaut
Oh oh-oh oh oh-oh
Tous ces sentiments
Oh oh-oh oh oh-oh

[Christophe Willem]
Si mes maux de cœur avaient un remède
Je ferais le nécessaire mais malgré moi je cède
Le bonheur
À portée de main quand je te serre
Pourtant j'ai si peur de tout te dire et de te perdre

[Sophie Delila]
What do we do?
What do we say when the heart is not over?
If only we knew
Would it be easy to face what we're going through?

[Christophe Willem]
Je ris, je pleure derrière ces mises en scène
Fais-moi un signe, dis-le moi si tu m'aimes
(si tu m'aimes)
J'aurais si peur de me brûler les ailes
Puisque l'amour me fait défaut oh oh-oh oh oh-oh
Tous ces sentiments oh oh-oh oh oh-oh
Me font défaut
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Me font défaut
Oh oh oh oh-oh

[Sophie Delila]
You wanted me then but you don't want me now
Not as a friend and you won't tell me why

[Christophe Willem]
J'aurais si peur de me brûler les ailes
Puisque l'amour me fait défaut
Oh oh-oh oh oh-oh
Tous ces sentiments
Oh oh-oh oh oh-oh

[Sophie Delila]
Tell me, what did I do?




Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Before you go…

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Sophie Delila's song "What Did I Do," the song tells the story of a relationship that has changed over time. The first verse sung by Sophie Delila speaks about the singer reminding the person of someone they used to know. This person used to wait for communication and connection from the other, but now things have changed. The person seems to have become distant and disconnected because of reasons the singer doesn't understand, which leads to a sense of confusion and hurt. The distance in the relationship becomes evident as the person doesn't want to be friends anymore, leaving the singer wondering what has caused this shift.


The next part is sung by Christophe Willem, expressing his own feelings of longing and confusion in the relationship. He mentions being driven crazy by wanting the other person but not knowing what to do about it. The lyrics convey a sense of doubt and confusion that has turned his world upside down since a certain day, emphasizing the impact of the changed dynamics on his emotions.


Sophie Delila then revisits the idea of the person wanting her in the past but not anymore, without giving any explanation for this change. This lack of closure or understanding adds to the emotional turmoil and unanswered questions in the relationship. The repeated theme of fear of getting hurt or losing the other person is highlighted in Christophe Willem's verses, where he describes the fear of burning his wings in love but still being drawn to the happiness found in the other person's presence.


As the song progresses, the duo asks poignant questions about what to do and say when the heart is not over the relationship. There is a yearning for clarity and honesty, hoping that understanding the situation would make it easier to navigate the emotions they are going through. Christophe Willem's internal struggle between laughing and crying, or the fear of losing love while seeking a sign of affirmation, deepens the emotional complexity depicted in the lyrics.


The song concludes with a plea for answers as Sophie Delila asks, "Tell me, what did I do?" The unresolved feelings and unanswered questions before a potential separation hang heavy in the air, leaving the listener with a sense of emotional vulnerability and longing for closure. Overall, "What Did I Do" delves into the complexities of love, miscommunication, and the uncertainty that can accompany changing relationships.
