[Intro]
Je t'aime, je te hais, je t'aime, je te hais
Je t'aime, je te hais, je t'aime, je te hais

[Verse 1: Stromae]
T'es la meilleure chose qui m'est arrivée
Mais aussi la pire chose qui m'est arrivéе
Ce jour où je t'ai rencontréе, j'aurais peut-être préféré
Que ce jour ne soit jamais arrivé (Arrivé)
La pire des bénédictions
La plus belle des malédictions
De toi, j'devrais m'éloigner
Mais comme dit le dicton:
"Plutôt qu'être seul, mieux vaut être mal accompagné"

[Pre-Chorus: Stromae, Stromae & Pomme, Pomme]
Tu sais c'qu'on dit
Sois près d'tes amis les plus chers
Mais aussi

Encore plus près d'tes adversaires

[Chorus: Stromae & Pomme]
Mais ma meilleure ennemie c'est toi
Fuis-moi, le pire c'est toi et moi
Mais ma meilleure ennemie c'est toi
Fuis-moi, le pire c'est toi et moi

[Verse 2: Pomme]
Pourquoi ton prénom me blesse
Quand il se cache juste là dans l'espace?
C'est quelle émotion, la haine
Ou la douceur, quand j'entends ton prénom?

[Pre-Chorus: Pomme]
Je t'avais dit: "Ne regarde pas en arrière"
Le passé qui te suit te fait la guerre

[Chorus: Stromae & Pomme, Pomme]
Mais ma meilleure ennemie c'est toi
Fuis-moi, le pire c'est toi et moi
Mais si tu cherches encore ma voix
Oublie-moi, le pire c'est toi et moi

[Bridge: Chris Martin]
You who I pray to, I desolate too
Consecrate you, I love and hate you
Hum a hymn to Scylla, I swim to
Watch a whirlpool spin and jump into
You know you make me wanna run away (You do)
Kingdom come, you make me wanna stay
Magnify you, sanctify you, glorify
You make me wanna die too
Oh-ooh, ha-ah

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Pomme, Chris Martin]
Mais ma meilleure ennemie c'est toi
Fuis-moi, le pire c'est toi et moi, et moi
Mais ma meilleure ennemie c'est toi
Fuis-moi, le pire c'est toi et moi, et moi

[Outro: Chris Martin]
Oh-ooh, ah-ah
Oh-ooh, ah-ah

[Intro]
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you

[Verse 1: Stromae]
You're the best thing to ever happen to me
But also the worst thing to ever happen to me
On that day when I met you, maybe I would rather
That it never happened to me (To me)
The worst of all blessings
The best of all cursеs
I should stray away from you
But as the saying goes:
"Bettеr than alone, is to be in bad company"

[Pre-Chorus: Stromae, Stromae & Pomme, Pomme]
You know what they say
Stay close to your dearest friends
But also

Even closer to your adversaries

[Chorus: Stromae & Pomme]
But my best enemy is you
Flee from me, the worst is you and I
But my best enemy is you
Flee from me, the worst is you and I

[Verse 2: Pomme]
Why does hearing your name hurt me
When it hides right there in the vicinity?
What kind of emotion, is it hatred
Or pure sweetness when I hear your name?

[Pre-Chorus: Pomme]
I had told you, not to keep looking behind
Your past will follow you and wage war on you

[Chorus: Stromae & Pomme, Pomme]
But my best enemy is you
Flee from me, the worst is you and I
But if you keep searching for my voice
Forget me, the worst is you and I

[Bridge: Chris Martin]
You who I pray to, I desolate too
Consecrate you, I love and hate you
Hum a hymn to Scylla, I swim to
Watch a whirlpool spin and jump into
You know you make me wanna run away (You do)
Kingdom come, you make me wanna stay
Magnify you, sanctify you, glorify
You make me wanna die too
Oh-ooh, ha-ah

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Pomme, Chris Martin]
But my best enemy is you
Flee from me, the worst is you and I, and I
But my best enemy is you
Flee from me, the worst is you and I, and I

[Outro: Chris Martin]
Oh-ooh, ah-ah
Oh-ooh, ah-ah
