Caméléon Lyrics in English GIMS

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caméléon by GIMS from French to English.
Okay, there's a whole story behind us
How d'you want me to give you news?
It's not just about money
And you know it, okay
I don't wanna live in doubt
There's nothing to grasp at the edge of the abyss
Time will decide between us
Okay
I felt you leave and took the lead
In spite of myself, you pull me in, like a magnet
But you say 'I love you' like a chameleon
Okay
I felt you leave and took the lead
In spite of myself, you pull me in, like a magnet
But you say 'I love you' like a chameleon
We promised each other feelings
When you said 'Yes', I said 'No'
And we let each other fall
We let each other fall
I blamed you for years
And you said: 'Go on, it's past'
We let each other fall
We let each other fall
We promised each other feelings
You said 'Yes', I said 'No'
We let each other fall
Dropped it
I blamed you for years
And you said: 'Go on, it's past'
We let each other fall
Dropped it
Okay, no, there's no point insisting
We had promised to try
We were wrong to cling
Too complicated, okay
What's wrong between us?
All this is gonna drive me crazy
I didn't show up
And neither did you
I felt you leave and took the lead
In spite of myself, you pull me in, like a magnet
But you say 'I love you' like a chameleon
Okay
I felt you leave and took the lead
In spite of myself, you pull me in, like a magnet
But you say 'I love you' like a chameleon
We promised each other feelings
When you said 'Yes', I said 'No'
And we let each other fall
We let each other fall
I blamed you for years
And you said: 'Go on, it's past'
We let each other fall
We let each other fall
We promised each other feelings
You said 'Yes', I said 'No'
We let each other fall
Dropped it
I blamed you for years
And you said: 'Go on, it's past'
We let each other fall
Dropped it
Give me one last dance
I wanna know what you think
When you stare into space
There are those feelings you disguise
Always playing with words
Always shifting the blame
I can get why you ended up saying stop
But we promised each other feelings
When you said 'Yes', I said 'No'
And we let each other fall
We let each other fall
And I blamed you for years
And you said: 'Go on, it's past'
We let each other fall
Dropped it
We promised each other feelings
You said 'Yes', I said 'No'
We let each other fall
Dropped it
I blamed you for years
And you said: 'Go on, it's past'
We let each other fall
Dropped it

SONG MEANING

Caméléon zooms in on that dizzying kind of relationship where feelings keep changing color. GIMS sings as a lover caught between attraction and frustration: he feels his partner slipping away, yet she keeps pulling him back with I love yous that shift like a chameleon’s skin. Promises are made, broken, then brushed off as “the past.” The result is a push-and-pull dance filled with doubt, missed rendezvous, and the lingering question of who is really to blame.

Beneath the catchy beat lies a universal warning: love that constantly camouflages itself will eventually fall into the void. When words no longer match actions, even the strongest magnetism can’t stop two people from letting each other go. By the end, GIMS asks for one last dance, hoping to see the true colors hiding behind the disguise — a final moment before both partners finally accept that their promises have faded.
