J'ai demandé à la lune Et le soleil ne le sait pas Je lui ai montré mes brûlures Et la lune s'est moquée de moi Et comme le ciel n'avait pas fière allure Et que je ne guérissais pas Je me suis dit quelle infortune Et la lune s'est moquée de moi J'ai demandé à la lune Si tu voulais encore de moi Elle m'a dit "J'ai pas l'habitude De m'occuper des cas comme ça" Et toi et moi On était tellement sûr Et on se disait quelques fois Que c'était juste une aventure Et que ça ne durerait pas Je n'ai pas grand chose à te dire Et pas grand chose pour te faire rire Car j'imagine toujours le pire Et le meilleur me fait souffrir J'ai demandé à la lune Si tu voulais encore de moi Elle m'a dit "J'ai pas l'habitude De m'occuper des cas comme ça" Et toi et moi On était tellement sûr Et on se disait quelques fois Que c'était juste une aventure Et que ça ne durerait pas
