Boumi' 00:05
You know I don't like to do this 00:09
J'ai passé trop de temps 00:11
À me noyer dans des larmes 00:13
Que je pensais pouvoir gérer 00:14
Mais j'ai plus les armes 00:16
Mon cœur est débutant 00:18
Tu me mens et je m'éloigne 00:19
Souvenirs entachés 00:21
Notre histoire était un drame 00:22
Mais là, c'est trop chaud, mon cœur en FOMO 00:25
Tes larmes en slow mo', souvenirs en lambeaux 00:28
J'sais pas c'qu'il me faut, j'écoute mes démos 00:31
Traîtrise pour morceau, j'parle qu'à mon piano 00:34
J'vais monter la sono, m'oublier dans la nuit 00:37
Repenser à tes défauts, à ma folie 00:40
J'vais monter la sono, oublier ce qui nous lie 00:43
Repenser tous tes défauts, à la folie 00:46
À quoi bon recommencer? 00:50
J'ai trop perdu, j'ai trop donné 00:53
À quoi bon tout ressasser? 00:57
J'ai tout perdu, j't'ai tout donné 01:00
Le temps s'est écoulé, je redeviens un enfant 01:02
À force de laisser couler, mes larmes m'ont tout abîmé 01:05
Réapprendre à aimer, réapprendre à vriller 01:09
Tes yeux sont révoltants à continuer de briller 01:12
Mais là, c'est trop chaud, mon cœur en FOMO 01:16
Tes larmes en slow mo', souvenirs en lambeaux 01:19
J'sais pas c'qu'il me faut, j'écoute mes démos 01:22
Traîtrise pour morceau, j'parle qu'à mon piano 01:25
J'vais monter la sono, m'oublier dans la nuit 01:28
Repenser à tes défauts, à ma folie 01:31
J'vais monter la sono, oublier ce qui nous lie 01:35
Repenser tous tes défauts, à la folie 01:38
À quoi bon recommencer? 01:41
J'ai trop perdu, j'ai trop donné 01:44
À quoi bon tout ressasser? 01:48
J'ai tout perdu, j't'ai tout donné 01:51
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la 01:54
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la 01:57
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la 02:00
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la 02:03
J'vais monter la sono, m'oublier dans la nuit 02:06
Repenser à tes défauts, à ma folie 02:10
J'vais monter la sono, oublier ce qui nous lie 02:13
Repenser tous tes défauts, à la folie 02:16

[English]
Boumi'
You know I don't like to do this
I've spent too much time
Drowning in tears
That I thought I could handle
But I no longer have the strength
My heart is a beginner
You lie to me and I pull away
Stained memories
Our story was a drama
But now, it's too intense, my heart in FOMO
Your tears in slow motion, memories in tatters
I don't know what I need, I listen to my demos
Betrayal for a piece, I only talk to my piano
I'm going to turn up the sound, forget myself in the night
Reconsider your flaws, my madness
I'm going to turn up the sound, forget what binds us
Reconsider all your flaws, to madness
What's the point of starting over?
I've lost too much, I've given too much
What's the point of going over everything?
I've lost everything, I gave you everything
Time has passed, I'm becoming a child again
By letting it flow, my tears have ruined everything
Learning to love again, learning to twist again
Your eyes are shocking, still shining
But now, it's too intense, my heart in FOMO
Your tears in slow motion, memories in tatters
I don't know what I need, I listen to my demos
Betrayal for a piece, I only talk to my piano
I'm going to turn up the sound, forget myself in the night
Reconsider your flaws, my madness
I'm going to turn up the sound, forget what binds us
Reconsider all your flaws, to madness
What's the point of starting over?
I've lost too much, I've given too much
What's the point of going over everything?
I've lost everything, I gave you everything
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
I'm going to turn up the sound, forget myself in the night
Reconsider your flaws, my madness
I'm going to turn up the sound, forget what binds us
Reconsider all your flaws, to madness
What's the point of starting over?
I've lost too much, I've given too much
What's the point of going over everything?
I've lost everything, I gave you everything
