Et quand le temps se lasse
De n'être que tué
Plus une seconde passe
Dans les vies d'uniformité
Quand de peine en méfiance
De larmes en plus jamais
Puis de dépit en défiance
On apprend à se résigner
Viennent les heures sombres
Où tout peut enfin s'allumer
Ou quand les vies ne sont plus qu'ombres
Restent nos rêves à inventer

Il me dit que je suis belle
Et qu'il n'attendait que moi
Il me dit que je suis celle
Juste faite pour ses bras
Il parle comme on caresse
De mots qui n'existent pas
De toujours et de tendresse
Et je n'entends que sa voix

Éviter les regards, prendre cet air absent
Celui qu'ont les gens sur les boulevards
Cet air qui les rend transparents
Apprendre à tourner les yeux
Devant les gens qui s'aiment
Éviter tous ceux qui marchent à deux
Ceux qui s'embrassent à perdre haleine
Y a-t-il un soir, un moment
Où l'on se dit c'est plus pour moi
Tous les mots doux, les coups de sang
Mais dans mes rêves, j'y ai droit

Il me dit que je suis belle
Et qu'il n'attendait que moi
Il me dit que je suis celle
Juste faite pour ses bras
Des mensonges et des bêtises
Qu'un enfant ne croirait pas
Mais les nuits sont mes églises
Et dans mes rêves j'y crois

Il me dit que je suis belle
Je le vois courir vers moi
Ses mains me frôlent et m'entraînent
C'est beau comme au cinéma
Plus de trahison, de peines
Mon scénario n'en veut pas
Il me dit que je suis reine
Et pauvre de moi, j'y crois
Hmm, pauvre de moi, j'y crois
