It was under the shelter of a school
The first time our lips touched
Since then my eyes have been singing "Don't leave me" by Brel to you
I remember we only spoke in poems
We spent sleepless nights getting into debt with SFR
We were remaking the world with the brush of our utopia
We told each other our lives as if in therapy
We dreamed of a big family by the sea
Of a big ceremony after saying yes in front of the mayor
It was us against the world no matter what happened
Worse when my skin made you an orphan
We had promised to travel on the back of an elephant
Cross the oceans to end up on an island
You dreamed of being a nurse and I a lawyer
We swore that our children would have Baraka
We believed that our love would protect us from everything
But couple life is not just about I love you

We believed that love would be enough
We believed that love would save us (love would save us)
We believed that love would protect us (love would protect us)
But life over time has stolen our dreams

Six years later I feel like the clouds only cry over our heads
Being a security guard is not enough to pay off our debts
Being a cleaning lady is not enough to fill the plates
Of these jewels who never asked to be born
Tell me what is the point of my degree plus five?
What's the point of being an honest man
When you can't protect the people you love
Tell me, I'm losing my mind help me
Because problems make me love the bottle
Help me
In addition, we stole our youth
The years have changed us and routine has stolen our promises
In the family nest, everything is going wrong
We spit bird names at each other because of our arguments
Despite this, I know your feelings for me
Yet today we only talk through our lawyers
We believed that love would protect us from everything
But couple life is not just about I love you

We believed that love would be enough
We believed that love would save us (love would save us)
We believed that love would protect us (love would protect us)
But life over time has stolen our dreams

And if someone had told me one day that we would end up here
I wouldn't have believed it
We who were so close, what happened to us?
What happened to us?

We believed that love would be enough
We believed that love would save us (love would save us)
We believed that love would protect us (we believed that love would protect us)
But life over time has stolen our dreams

We believed that love would be enough
We believed that love would save us
We believed that love would save us
We believed that love would be enough
We believed that love would protect us
We believed that love would protect us
This life has stolen our dreams (yeah)

It was under the shelter of a school
The first time our lips touched
Since then my eyes have been singing "Don't leave me" by Brel to you
I remember we only spoke in poems
We spent sleepless nights getting into debt with SFR
We were remaking the world with the brush of our utopia
We told each other our lives as if in therapy
We believed that our love would protect us from everything
But couple life is not just about I love you
