Lyrics & Translation

[English] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Maximum Beats
Mmh, mmh, mmh
What you said about me, it touched me
Too easy to find things to blame me for
You can't say that I didn't
Your mistakes, I always stifled
It won't be like before anymore
We're slowly drifting apart
Not like before anymore
Far, very slowly
We threw jabs without listening to each other
So the distance is felt, it's too much
You talk to me, you ask me to decide
But in my head, I just want to sell my CDs
I gave you my hand when you doubted
I made your neck shine, your fingers when you were sulking
I listened to you well, what touched me is when you said
That our story was fake (Oh, oh, oh)
Stop all that (stop all that)
It's all an act (ah, ah, eh, oh, oh)
Stop all that (ah, eh, eh, eh)
It's all an act (ah, ah, ah)
What you said about me, it touched me
Too easy to find things to blame me for
You can't say that I didn't
Your mistakes, I always stifled
It won't be like before anymore
We're slowly drifting apart
Not like before anymore
Far, very slowly
Tell me, in what honor, do you yell in front of my parents?
I won't insult you, because I only have one word
If the feeling fades quickly, it's because there's a wolf nearby
It's the lack of love that will create deficiencies for you
I was great, Stromae
Don't make me swear on my life
I'm talking to someone else because it's going too fast
I loved you with all my heart, on my life
I can't slow down anymore, she wants to come back
It's dead
I can't slow down anymore, she wants to come back
It's a no
What you said about me, it touched me
Too easy to find things to blame me for
You can't say that I didn't
Your mistakes, I always stifled
It won't be like before anymore (ah, ah, ah)
We're slowly drifting apart (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Not like before anymore (ah, ah, ah)
Far, very slowly
What you said about me, it touched me
Too easy to find things to blame me for
You can't say that I didn't
Your mistakes, I always stifled
It won't be like before anymore
We're slowly drifting apart
Not like before anymore
Far, very slowly
We don't owe each other anything anymore
I only keep the good
I'm like having a hand amputated
We don't owe each other anything anymore (ah, ah, ah)
We don't owe each other anything anymore, mama (ah, ah, ah)
I only keep the good (ah, ah, ah)
I'm like having a hand amputated (ah, ah, ah)
All of this is real
All of this is real
All of this is real
It burns like the fire of Los Angeles
All of this is real (ah, ah)
All of this is real (mama)
All of this is real
It burns like the fire of Los Angeles
All of this is real
All of this is real
All of this is real
It burns like the fire of Los Angeles
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Mmh, mmh, mmh
