C'est Bien Mieux Comme Ça

We can't shake off
where we come from
mother and child are never far
we let our loved ones go too often, it's necessary
we learn to say 'no' one morning

I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better this way
it's much better this way

Building walls around oneself
wanting to protect from the cold
time passes and we can't believe it
who are the ones I care about?
solitude suits me so well
but if love comes and goes

I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better this way
I don't care about the little misfortunes
I don't care, it's much better this way

I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better this way
I don't care about the little misfortunes
I don't care, it's much better this way
