Serait-elle à ma place
Plus forte qu'un homme
Au bout de ces impasses
Où elle m'abandonne
Vivre l'enfer
Mourir au combat
Faut-il pour lui plaire
Aller jusque là
Se peut-il que j'y parvienne
Se peut-il qu'on nous pardonne
Se peut-il qu'on nous aime
Pour ce que nous sommes

Se met-il à ma place
Quelquefois
Quand mes ailes se froissent
Et mes îles se noient
Je plie sous le poids
Plie sous le poids
De cette moitié de femme
Qu'il veut que je sois
Je veux bien faire la belle
Mais pas dormir au bois
Je veux bien être reine
Mais pas l'ombre du roi
Faut-il que je cède
Faut-il que je saigne
Pour qu'il m'aime aussi
Pour ce que je suis

Pourrait-il faire en sorte

Ferait-elle pour moi

D'ouvrir un peu la porte

Ne serait-ce qu'un pas

Pourrait-il faire encore

Encore un effort

Un geste, un pas vers moi

Un pas vers moi

Je n'attends pas de toi que tu sois la même
Je n'attends pas de toi que tu me comprennes
Mais seulement que tu m'aimes
Pour ce que je suis

Se met-elle à ma place quelquefois
Que faut-il que je fasse pour qu'elle me voie
Vivre l'enfer
Mourir au combat
Veux-tu faire de moi ce que je ne suis pas
Je veux bien tenter l'effort, te regarder en face
Mais le silence est mort et le tien me glace
Mon âme s?ur cherche l'erreur
Plus mon sang se vide et plus tu as peur

Faut-il que je t'apprenne

Je ne te demande rien

Les eaux troubles où je traîne

Où tu vas d'où tu viens

Faut-il vraiment que tu saches

Tout ce que tu caches

Tout au fond de moi

Au fond de toi

Je n'attends pas de toi que tu sois la même
Je n'attends pas de toi que tu me comprennes
Mais seulement que tu m'aimes
Seulement que tu m'aimes
Pour ce que je suis

Quand je doute, quand je tremble
Et quand la route est trop longue
Quand parfois je ne suis pas
Ce que tu attends de moi
Que veux-tu qu'on y fasse?
Qu'aurais-tu fait à ma place?
