Adieu
Teri Moïse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je voulais tout arranger
Mais quelque chose en lui a changé
Un sentiment si triste
Me rongeait
L'idée que l'on se sépare c'était trop tard

Il avait l'air ébahi
Mais c'est son cœur qui nous a trahis
Le besoin de tout dire m'envahit
Et il est temps de se dire adieu

Prise dans une toile de désespoir
J'ai prié
Donne-moi la force de me sortir du passé
Même si je crois que c'est l'amour
Qui nous liait
Il n'y a plus qu'un souvenir de ce qui était

C'est pas une question de chance
Je sais que rien n'est gagné d'avance
Tes mots pour moi ont perdu leurs sens
Et je ne peux pas continuer l'amour, jouer

Il avait l'air ébahi
Mais c'est son cœur qui nous a trahis
Le besoin de tout dire m'envahit
Et il est temps de se dire adieu

Prise dans une toile de désespoir
J'ai prié
Donne-moi la force de me sortir du passé
Même si je crois que c'est l'amour




Qui nous liait
Il n'y a plus qu'un souvenir de ce qui était.
