Bulle de chagrin
Boule d'incertitude
Tant de matins
Que rien ne dissimule
Je veux mon hiver
M'endormir loin de tes chimères
Je sais bien que je mens
Je sais bien que j'ai froid dedans

Bulle de chagrin
Boule d'incertitude
De nos destins
Naît que solitude
Tu dis qu'il faut du temps
Qu'aimer n'est pas un jeu d'enfant
Je sais bien que tu mens
Mais je suis si seule à présent

Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit-il
Ainsi moi je
Prie pour que tu
Fuies mon exil
Mais quel espoir
Pourrais-je avoir
Quand tout est noir?
Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit ma vie
Tant pis

Bulle de chagrin
Boule d'incertitude
Deux orphelins
Que le temps défigure
Je voudrais mon hiver
M'endormir loin de tes chimères
Tu sais bien que je mens
Tu sais bien que j'ai froid dedans

Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit-il
Ainsi moi je
Prie pour que tu
Fuies mon exil
Mais quel espoir
Pourrais-je avoir
Quand tout est noir?
Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit ma vie
Tant pis

Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit-il
Ainsi moi je
Prie pour que tu
Fuies mon exil
Mais quel espoir
Pourrais-je avoir
Quand tout est noir?
Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit ma vie
Tant pis

Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit-il
Ainsi moi je
Prie pour que tu
Fuies mon exil
Mais quel espoir
Pourrais-je avoir
Quand tout est noir?
Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit ma vie

Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit-il
Ainsi moi je
Prie pour que tu
Fuies mon exil
Mais quel espoir
Pourrais-je avoir
Quand tout est noir?
Ainsi soit je
Ainsi soit tu
Ainsi soit ma vie
Tant pis
