Demain Lyrics in English Amel Bent

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Demain by Amel Bent from French to English.
Tomorrow, what do I do when you're not here
You can't leave me like that
I've got nothing if you're not here
Or next to nothing of me without you
I don't know how to say I love you or be the one who forgives
I dedicate this poem to you
If one day you leave me
I'll tell you to f*ck off even if it hurts
If I say I don't love you anymore it's because I'm hurting
I don't want your happiness
I want you to hurt like I hurt if you go
I'll tell you to f*ck off even if it hurts
If I say I don't love you anymore it's because I'm hurting
I don't want your happiness
I want you to hurt like I hurt
If you leave
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
What do I tell the kids if you're gone
That she was prettier than me
No more of us, no more us, is that it
You know me, I'm not kidding
I don't know how to say I love you or be the one who forgives
I dedicate this poem to you if one day you leave me
I'll tell you to f*ck off even if it hurts
If I say I don't love you anymore it's because I'm hurting
I don't want your happiness
I want you to hurt like I hurt if you go
I'll tell you to f*ck off even if it hurts
If I say I don't love you anymore it's because I'm hurting
I don't want your happiness
I want you to hurt like I hurt
If you leave
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
I'll tell you to f*ck off
If you hurt me tomorrow
I don't want your happiness, no
If you're not here tomorrow, tomorrow
I'll tell you to f*ck off even if it hurts
If I say I don't love you anymore it's because I'm hurting
I don't want your happiness
I want you to hurt like I hurt if you go
I'll tell you to f*ck off even if it hurts
If I say I don't love you anymore it's because I'm hurting
I don't want your happiness
I want you to hurt like I hurt
If you leave
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

SONG MEANING

In “Demain,” French powerhouse Amel Bent lets us peek inside the whirlwind of emotions that strikes when you sense a breakup coming. The lyrics swing between fear and fury: she imagines the awful moment tomorrow when her partner might be gone, wonders what she will tell the kids, and admits she feels like “nothing” without them. Instead of calmly asking them to stay, she puts on her toughest face. Her battle-cry “casse-toi” (get lost) is a shield—she would rather push love away than show how terrified she is. Beneath every sharp word lies the same truth: I hurt because I love you so much.

This song is a roller-coaster of heartbreak, pride, and vulnerability. Amel Bent flips between “I never learned to say I love you” and “I want you to hurt like I hurt,” revealing how messy real love can be. The repeated “demain” mirrors the ticking clock, counting down to a future she dreads yet can’t stop thinking about. It is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever pretended to be strong while secretly hoping someone will fight to stay.
