Il faut savoir encore sourire
Quand le meilleur s'est retiré
Et qu'il ne reste que le pire
Dans une vie bête à pleurer

Il faut savoir, coûte que coûte
Garder toute sa dignité
Et malgré ce qu'il nous en coûte
S'en aller sans se retourner

Face au destin qui nous désarme
Et devant le bonheur perdu
Il faut savoir cacher ses larmes
Mais moi, mon cœur, je n'ai pas su

Il faut savoir quitter la table
Lorsque l'amour est desservi
Sans s'accrocher l'air pitoyable
Mais partir sans faire de bruit

Il faut savoir cacher sa peine
Sous le masque de tous les jours
Et retenir les cris de haine
Qui sont les derniers mots d'amour

Il faut savoir rester de glace
Et taire un cœur qui meurt déjà
Il faut savoir garder la face
Mais moi, je t'aime trop

Mais moi, je ne peux pas
Il faut savoir mais moi
Je ne sais pas
