I wanna leave you
I know
That wasn't the plan
I tried to talk to you
Lots of times, but
You don't listen to me
You don't listen to me
You listen to yourself
You listen to yourself
And you're often right
Because you're brilliant
You listen to yourself
You listen to yourself
But without listening to me
It was bound to end badly
It's not only
Your fault
The blame is shared
I shouldn't have gotten so involved
Made those promises
Before acting
You're gonna be sad
Because I'm leaving you
And we're sad
When we're left
It's not just the end
Of the story that makes you sad
It's knowing
That you aren't loved anymore
And I don't look it
But I'm devastated
I don't look it
But I'm hurting too, but
It's been more than a week
That I've known
And I've taken in
That it was over
What can I do
If the flame is gone
We don't choose to love
It's in the flesh
Whenever we leave
We betray, but
Love isn't humanitarian aid
Okay, you're done
I heard it all, or
There's still some missing
Yeah, I know, you didn't say
You see you're struggling now, but
Everything that doesn't kill
Makes you stronger
And if everything that didn't
Kill me wore me out
Disabled me
Traumatized me
Like a wound
Never healed
Or like a heart
Left to agonize
What will I have to
Think next time
Next time
Somebody tells me
I love you, you
Next time someone says
Let's have kids
Asks me
To move in together
What will I have to
Think next time
Next time
Somebody tells me
I love you, you
I'll answer
Wait, wait, wait
You say I don't listen to you
It's true I don't listen to you
Besides it's not your lines
That I say
When I see my friends
You say I don't listen to you
It's true I don't listen to you
It's not your expressions
That I've ended up using too
In my opinion, in my opinion
It's not a girl
You're looking for
It's a pet
In my opinion, in my opinion
It's not a girl
You're looking for
It's a pet

SONG MEANING

Rupture is a duet that plays out like an emotional ping-pong match. On one side stands Ben Mazué, confessing that the spark is gone and that breaking up feels inevitable. He lists the classic breakup ingredients in rapid-fire French: “Tu m’écoutes pas… les torts sont partagés… on choisit pas d’aimer.” In other words, he tried to talk, she did not listen, and love simply slipped away. His words move between guilt and relief, admitting that leaving someone always feels like a betrayal even when love has vanished.

Enter Yoa, who fires back with biting honesty and a touch of dark humor. She accuses him of wanting a “compagnon domestique” rather than a real partner, flipping the narrative and refusing to be the passive, heart-broken character. The song becomes a conversation about mismatched expectations, the pain of no longer feeling loved, and the fear of trusting the next “Je t’aime.” Behind the catchy beat lies a raw meditation on how hard it is to listen, to be heard, and to accept that sometimes the most humane thing you can do for love is to walk away.
