Voila

It's an old story, and yet it's in my head
in vain, I told him "Get away, she's staying here!"
It's an old memory, the crackle of a match
In vain, I told him "Get the hell out", he didn't move
 
Voila, voila, voila, voila
If only we could make a choice, here where we are
Only voila, voila, voila, voila
We can't
 
It's like a habit, a bit like a mania
I love solitude to the point of tyranny
Don't come and dislodge me from my shell when I'm hibernating
Or, I apologise in advance for my shots in your lanterns
 
Voila, voila, voila, voila
If only we could make a choice, here where we are
Only voila, voila, voila, voila
We can't
 
The type
I could have crushed you, I could have done much more
I could have disorientated it with my eyes in her eyes
Great, great, great, great
But nothing, I didn't move, he got what he wanted
 
Voila, voila, voila, voila
If only we could make a choice, here where we are
Only voila, voila, voila, voila
We can't
 
There it is, it's decided, I'm going to decide everything
Without getting invaded, without getting pissed off
I'm only going to listen to myself, I only want what's good for me
But I speak so low that, in the end, i don't hear anything
 
Voila, voila, voila, voila
If only we could make a choice, here where we are
Only voila, voila, voila, voila
We can't
 
If I could have chosen between me and something else
It's a little disgusting to say, but I would have chosen something else
I think about it often enough and I'm starting to do it
When I have enough time, I'll even end up pleasing myself
