Lyrics
C'est La Vie
Written and produced by iNFLiKT
Intro One
The day you front is the day I leave
So pardon my French bitch but C'est La Vie
Verse One
It was so ill back when we first had hooked up
But somewhere somehow we cursed our good luck
Was it you? Was it me? Was it meant to be?
Was it all free will? Was it destiny?
Nah to be perfectly honest 'bout it
I don't think either one of us were wrong I doubt it
I mean we were both pretty well intended
So at this point what the hell, let's mend it?!
Even though you don't hear me and I don't hear you
And now there's prolly no goin' back - we're through
But when I peer through the rear view I can see
You never tried to lead me on or lie to me
But anyway I rhyme this new song
Cuz that's all past it's time to move on
Let the light fall and the heavens open
Cuz forgivin' is livin' in the present moment
Bridge One
Yea girl, I guess we're through - and I don't really
Know what is left to do - I guess we'll just
Go our separate ways – unless you
Got something left to say --
Chorus (Part One)
There's nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
I don't need you anymore
We'll go our separate ways
Yea I guess we're through
You don't need me anymore
Chorus (Part Two)
I don't need you anymore
You don't need me anymore
I don't need you anymore
You don't need me anymore
Intro Two
The way you see ain't the way I see
So pardon my French bitch but C'est La Vie
Verse Two
It was so sad back when we had to break it up
Everybody else was so mad they hated us
Sure, we had our own differences
But it would've been best with no witnesses
At this point I'm just so sick of this
I'll follow your lead and just go with the script
If I'd known it was just gonna end this way
I still think that I would pretend and play along
With the song that we penned then say that's it
The fact is we still friends today
But still I can feel the brittle tension
When either of us let the middle men in
Givin' opinions they sure can talk it
I guess that's easy without firsthand knowledge
Nevertheless I won't ever regret
Just keep on walkin' with a pep in my step
Bridge Two
Oh yea girl, I guess we're through - and I don't really
Know what's left to do - I suppose we'll just
Go our separate ways but hold on I got
Something left to say --
Chorus (Part One)
There's nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
I don't need you anymore
We'll go our separate ways
Yea I guess we're through
You don't need me anymore
Chorus (Part Two)
I don't need you anymore
You don't need me anymore
I don't need you anymore
You don't need me anymore
Bridge Three
(C'est La Vie, Mi Amoré, goodbye
I don't need you anymore
C'est La Vie, Mi Amoré, goodbye
You don't need me anymore
C'est La Vie, Mi Amoré, goodbye
I don't need you anymore no
C'est La Vie, Mi Amoré, goodbye
You don't need me anymore no) [3x]
Keep breaking your heart until it opens (8x)
I hate to be the one to break the news
And leave your heart battered, beaten and bruised
But love means you lose (love means you lose)
Love means you lose (love means you lose)
The walls that you build to keep out the blues
Block out the sun as well - you can't choose
Love means you lose (love means you lose)
Love means you lose (love means you lose)
But lovers play by another set of rules
A whole different game to gain is to lose
Love means you lose (love means you lose)
Love means you lose (love means you lose) (2x)
Chorus (Part One)
There's nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
I don't need you anymore
We'll go our separate ways
Yea I guess we're through
You don't need me anymore
Chorus (Part Two)
I don't need you anymore
You don't need me anymore
I don't need you anymore
You don't need me anymore
