[Verse 1]
Les premiers temps, un rêve partagé
At first, a shared dream
Puis tu t'en vas, un chemin séparé
Then you leave, a separate path
Vers une autre, une inconnue à mes yeux
Towards another, a stranger to my eyes
Mon âme souffre, je n'y comprends rien
My soul suffers, I don't understand anything
[Chorus]
Pourquoi pas moi ? Ce doute me poursuit
Why not me? This doubt haunts me
Chaque fois l'amour s'enfuit, il me trahit
Each time love flees, it betrays me
Je donne tout, mais le dénouement est pareil
I give everything, but the outcome is the same
Pas un adieu, juste le silence qui veille
Not a goodbye, just the silence that watches
[Verse 2]
Et puis Mathys, un proche, tu le fixais
And then Mathys, a friend, you stared at him
Tes yeux s'allumaient, mon univers chutait
Your eyes lit up, my world collapsed
J'ai rencontré un homme, nos cœurs unis
I met a man, our hearts united
Mais il est parti, notre histoire est finie
But he left, our story is over
Lucas ensuite, c'est lui qui m'a laissé
Lucas next, he's the one who left me
Une autre cicatrice, j'ai tout enduré
Another scar, I endured everything
[Chorus]
Pourquoi pas moi ? Ce doute me poursuit
Why not me? This doubt haunts me
Chaque fois l'amour s'enfuit, il me trahit
Each time love flees, it betrays me
Je donne tout, mais le dénouement est pareil
I give everything, but the outcome is the same
Pas un adieu, juste le silence qui veille
Not a goodbye, just the silence that watches
[Bridge]
Valentin, au camp, m'a dit non clairement
Valentin, at camp, clearly told me no
Je ne sais plus où trouver ce sentiment
I no longer know where to find this feeling
[Chorus]
Pourquoi pas moi ? Ce doute me poursuit
Why not me? This doubt haunts me
Chaque fois l'amour s'enfuit, il me trahit
Each time love flees, it betrays me
Je donne tout, mais le dénouement est pareil
I give everything, but the outcome is the same
Pas un adieu, juste le silence qui veille
Not a goodbye, just the silence that watches
