Après Toi Lyrics in English Christophe Willem

In “Après Toi,” French pop-soul star Christophe Willem paints the aftermath of a breakup as a surreal, almost cinematic scene. The singer wanders through rooms filled with dusty picture frames and clocks that tick in reverse, a poetic way to show how time itself feels broken without his partner. He compares himself to a tightrope walker on a glass wire, collecting the shards of hours that once belonged to “Il” and “Elle.” Every street has lost its color, every melody sounds hollow, and even happy memories now “burn with cold” — a clever oxymoron that captures how nostalgia can sting.

Through a mix of dark humor and raw confession, Willem keeps asking the same aching question: “Et là moi je fais quoi, après toi ?” The song admits that worse tragedies exist, yet insists on the simple truth that heartbreak still hurts. It is a dramatic, bittersweet anthem for anyone who has looked at familiar places, heard familiar songs, and wondered why they feel useless without the person who gave them meaning.
