Promesses

Promise me, look at me, tell me in the eyes
Keep my secrets, I'll keep your flaws
Forever, there will only be us two
We said it was true, we knew it was false
We promised the impossible, I admit it
I know the names of our children who will never be born
And if life is beautiful, then love is tough
And our love was not just a summer love
We shared our wandering thoughts
In our beautiful idyll before the storm came
We promised each other we would travel the world

Now, we'll do it each in the opposite direction
We threw our promises into the sea, she saw it, she who was so wise
That everything would be erased
Love is as ephemeral as a heart drawn on the beach
And then the wave passed
We'll have two children, a villa by the sea
Forever, all the time, the promises, the promises, the promises
We'll have two children, a villa by the sea
Forever, all the time, the promises, the promises, the promises
The promises, the promises, the promises
The promises

Do you also think about the first dates?
Today's promises erase yesterday's
The terrace was full but we only saw each other
You said I'll have a coffee, I never drink it, I said the same
We didn't even finish the movies we started
From our two stone hearts sparks were born
Nothing made sense when our trusts were engaged
Love turns the useless into essential
In your eyes, I was me, my scent on your lashes
You turned my mattress into a big beach in Brazil
An angel fallen from the sky silenced my demons

I told you I love you so much, it was almost your name
All that's over, not easy to get used to the idea
That it's been an eternity since we promised each other eternity
When promises are lies, everything loses its charm
Young love is believing we'll grow old together
We'll have two children, a villa by the sea
Forever, all the time, the promises, the promises, the promises
We'll have two children, a villa by the sea
Forever, all the time, the promises, the promises, the promises
The promises, the promises, the promises
The promises
