Aussi loin que je me rappelle quand je remonte en arrière As far back as I remember when I look back 00:55
Moi je travaillais chez BP, le soir elle était caissière I was working at BP, she was a cashier in the evening 00:57

Tu m'écrivais au placard, moi j'répondais rarement You wrote to me in the closet, I rarely responded 02:46
Économie de feuilles ou avarice de sentiments? Saving paper or greed for feelings? 02:49

[English] When there is no more hope
I keep believing that things will get better
Lost in the fog
We can't see each other anymore, my love, don't be afraid
I loved you forever, my heart spoke, but I couldn't silence it
Like two condemned men
We'll meet again before the final hour
You're my best, you're my best
The years go by, but I hold onto the best
Yes, you're my best, yes, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
Yes, you're my best, you're my best
The years go by, but I keep the best
Yes, you're my best, yes, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
As far back as I remember when I look back
I was working at BP, she was a cashier in the evening
And I used to pick her up in my old Seat Ibiza
I recall we chipped in to share a pizza
I had nothing in my pockets, but we were rich at heart
And to buy cigarettes, I used to beg my older sisters
We met at the bus stop where we talked for hours
That evening, I walked home, no fuel, controllers around
I wanted to reach for the moon, you had your feet on the ground
I wanted to make a lot of money, you just wanted to be a mom
We used to say "I love you" 300 times a day in texts
We dined by candlelight with 2-3 gift cards
My sneakers had holes, your tights were worn out
Our story was sincere, our couple was stylish
One more sleepless night thinking of us
Tonight my heart beats, and it's not just hallway noise
When there is no more hope
I keep believing that things will get better
Lost in the fog
We can't see each other anymore, my love, don't be afraid
I loved you forever, my heart spoke, but I couldn't silence it
Like two condemned men
We'll meet again before the final hour
You're my best, you're my best
The years go by, but I hold onto the best
Yes, you're my best, yes, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
Yes, you're my best, you're my best
The years go by, but I keep the best
Yes, you're my best, yes, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
And when fame, money come, the struggles follow
And faithful friends become as rare as "I love you"s
We roll in a big car, stop investing anymore
We pass by the bus stop but have nothing left to say
Forgive me for all the promises I didn't keep
Love has its reasons, time makes us strangers
One day you walk out the door, one day I’m your love
Despite the storms, tempests, I love you like the first day
You wrote to me in the closet, I rarely responded
Saving paper or greed for feelings?
Often I messed up, you made mistakes too
But I want to put the pieces back because you’re my best
We had everything to be happy, but nothing is needed to be happy
And if money is king, feelings are no longer in control
Another sleepless night feeding on our story
Tonight my heart beats, and it's not just hallway noise
When there is no more hope
I keep believing that things will get better
Lost in the fog
We can't see each other anymore, my love, don't be afraid
I loved you forever, my heart spoke, but I couldn't silence it
Like two condemned men
We'll meet again before the final hour
You're my best, you're my best
The years go by, but I hold onto the best
Yes, you're my best, yes, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
Yes, you're my best, you're my best
The years go by, but I keep the best
Yes, you're my best, yes, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
I left these words hidden along your path
Sunbeams that could replace
The mistakes of yesterday and regrets of the past
I'll give you enough, enough so you won’t drown
You're my best, you're my best
The years go by, but I hold onto the best
Yes, you're my best, yes, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
Yes, you're my best, you're my best
The years go by, but I keep the best
Yes, you're my best, yes, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
You're my best, you're my best
The years go by but I hold onto the best
You're my best, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
You're my best, you're my best
The years go by but I keep the best
You're my best, you're my best
The storms pass, and tomorrow will be better
