Quelle que soit l'envie
Quelle que soit la vie
Para?tre autre chose comme jouer un r?le
Demande beaucoup plus qu'il n'y parait
J'en suis l'exemple m?me
Comme une deuxi?me peau brod?e par l'habitude
Faite sur mesure pour cacher ce que je suis
Je ne suis rien du tout...
Mon id?al
Haut, toujours plus haut
Tu crois que para?tre ou savoir ?tre
Fait de toi quelqu'un d'autre
Mais le charisme se fait - je sais - avant l'attitude...
