Tu aurais dû me dire
Les mots que j’attendais,
Dans un souffle, un soupir,
Comme un secret.
Tu aurais dû me dire,
Tout ce que j’espérais,
Quitte à me faire rougir,
A me gêner.
Il fallait tout me dire,
Jamais, non jamais,
Bâtir l’avenir 
Sur des regrets.

Oser parler d’amour,
Avant que le temps, 
Le vent,
N’emporte les mots pour toujours.

Tu aurais dû me dire 
Les promesses à jamais,
Pleurer ne veut rien dire
Les jours d’après,

Tu aurais dû me dire,
Et nous délivrer,
Le silence est bien pire à écouter.

Oser parler d’amour,
Avant que le temps, 
Le vent,
N’emporte les mots pour toujours.

Et si l’amour se fane à l’ombre du silence,
A l’ombre de ses chances.
Tu aurais dû me dire,
Les mots que j’attendais,
Dans un souffle un soupir,
Comme un secret.
Tu aurais dû me dire,
Les mots que j’espérais,
Pleurer ne veut rien dire,
Les jours d’après.
