[Verse 1]
I dressed up for our date at the café where we met
I waited and waited, but you weren't there yet
I gave up waiting and went out dancing
Then I saw you there with another girl romancing
She was in your arms, love was in your eyes
And suddenly I knew you'd been telling me lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes life can turn you upside down
You think you've lost your love, then find your way around
Sometimes what you leave is what you need to leave behind
[Chorus]
C'est la vie, that's how it goes
C'est la vie, nobody knows
It can't always be roses
It can't always be tears
But you don't get any stronger
Without facing down your fears
Don't moan and cry that it's not fair
Pick yourself up and get back out there
C'est la vie
[Verse 2]
Time went by, that's what it does
Life moved on, and so did I
I let go of what once was
And gave life another try
I grew strong and made new friends
Found new dreams around the bend
Losing love doesn't mean life ends
Sometimes it's where a new life begins
[Pre-Chorus]
You never know what tomorrow brings
The road can change with every turn
Sometimes you lose the very thing
That teaches you what you deserve
[Chorus]
C'est la vie, that's how it goes
C'est la vie, nobody knows
It can't always be roses
It can't always be tears
But you don't get any stronger
Without facing down your fears
Don't moan and cry that it's not fair
Pick yourself up and get back out there
C'est la vie
[Verse 3]
Today on the lawn, out in the sun
You saw me there, just having fun
You said you were sorry, wanted another chance
But I'd moved on from our old romance
I smiled and said, "We're not meant to be"
I'd moved on, and now I'm free
I don't need you anymore
I've found the life I'm living for
[Chorus]
C'est la vie, that's how it goes
C'est la vie, nobody knows
It can't always be roses
It can't always be tears
But you don't get any stronger
Without facing down your fears
Don't moan and cry that it's not fair
Pick yourself up and get back out there
C'est la vie
[Rap Bridge]
Trop tard, mon ami, tu as raté ton tour
You had your chance, but you waited too long
Tu voulais revenir, mais j'ai déjà changé
I moved on, got stronger, walked away
Pas de regrets, pas de drame, c'est fini
No hard feelings, that's life, c'est la vie
I moved on
I got stronger
I don't need you anymore
[Final Chorus]
C'est la vie, that's how it goes
C'est la vie, nobody knows
It can't always be roses
It can't always be tears
But you don't get any stronger
Without facing down your fears
Don't moan and cry that it's not fair
Pick yourself up and get back out there
C'est la vie
[Outro]
C'est la vie
That's how it goes
Sometimes you lose love
Just to find yourself
