I've been takin' what you're giving.
Now I'm thinkin' I've been livin'
The fantasy of your sweet smile.
Sad as blue and blue as only,
You could cast the color on me.
Can you see my fire red?
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely
Without him.
Boy, you swallow truth like honey,
As you spew your lies upon me.
Sweet and smooth as it goes down.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely
Without him.
Oh, say you, say me, say always, and forever more I'll be your perfect little sugarbride.
Oh, if you could see the strength within a perfect harmony.
Your melody is bringin' me down.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely
Without him.
Boy, you swallow truth like honey.
Now I'm thinkin' I've been livin'
The fantasy of your sweet smile.
Sad as blue and blue as only,
You could cast the color on me.
Can you see my fire red?
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely
Without him.
Boy, you swallow truth like honey,
As you spew your lies upon me.
Sweet and smooth as it goes down.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely
Without him.
Oh, say you, say me, say always, and forever more I'll be your perfect little sugarbride.
Oh, if you could see the strength within a perfect harmony.
Your melody is bringin' me down.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely.
See'est la vie, see'est la vie, here in my lonely
Without him.
Boy, you swallow truth like honey.

xoxo Kandie NESSA ROX! PEACE!
okay it is "if you could see the truth within a perfect harmony" it says strength in the lyric book HOWEVER.
Well, I've been in a situation that this song describes...not with a boy but with some of my girl friends. The boy in this song's lying about how he loves her etc etc and thinks she'll believe him but she doesn't. Great song.....needless to say haha...
i swear this song is addictive... i cant get it out of my head...
"boy you swallow truth like honey"
last line, best part of the whole song. i wait the whole song for it. awesome song.
i really like the "truth within out perfect harmony" line too.
badsrx7: there are many faults in the lyric book, the nessaholics have come to believe it's done on purpose as to think that the album was very organic, not over produced.
maybe the "mistakes in the lyrics" are because it was typed kind of early and maybe she changed her mind about what she wanted to say in the song. When you put Harmonium into the computer, there is a "making of Harmonium" thing you can watch. She is singing Who's To Say and instead of saying "mother don't tell me friends are the ones that i lose cos they'd bleed before you sometimes family are the one's you chose." she changed friends and family around. Maybe she just changed the lyrics a bit later on.
Blueoil, I agree. The last part is the absolute best. :)
Oh, and, \'Sad as blue and blue as only, you could cast the color on me.\' I think that line has a very poetic melody to it when she sings it...
one of vanessa's limited number of good songs, no offense to those who don't agree with me. i think the lyrics are awesome (the english part) but i've always wanted to noe- wut does "c'est la vie" mean? i agree with blueoilpaints about the last line. its really catchy.
