We do good to each other then we do harm

We court each other then we do dirty things

I thought for two, no, I thought only of myself

You set me on fire to leave me all alone

How do you do it to act as if

We didn't know each other, we promised nothing?

How do you do it? I can't do it

When I close my eyes, yeah, it's you that I see

It's you that I see, the others don't matter

I would like to leave you but I can't do it

It's you that I see even in the dark

I would like to leave you but it won't be tonight

Because it's you that I see

Yes, it's you that I see

Why can't I forget?

Yes, it's you that I see

There are those who fly away, who never come back

There are those who regret a few years later

I don't wish you harm, in fact, I don't know

I don't know who you are, I don't know you that well

I was told to be careful

But I was playing deaf, damn, what an idiot I am

How do you do it? I can't do it

When I close my eyes, yeah, it's you that I see

It's you that I see, the others don't matter

I would like to leave you but I can't do it

It's you that I see even in the dark

I would like to leave you but it won't be tonight

Because it's you that I see

Yes, it's you that I see

Why can't I forget?

Yes, it's you that I see

Don't tell me that you love me

If you leave anyway

Don't tell me it's the same

If you don't live the same

Don't tell me that you love me

If you leave anyway

Don't tell me, no

It's you that I see, the others don't matter

I would like to leave you but I can't do it

It's you that I see even in the dark

I would like to leave you but it won't be tonight

It's you that I see, the others don't matter

I would like to leave you but I can't do it

It's you that I see even in the dark

I would like to leave you but it won't be tonight

Because it's you that I see

Yes, it's you that I see

Why can't I forget?

Yes, it's you that I see

SONG MEANING

Slimane’s “Toi” is a raw confession that turns a breakup into a cinematic tug-of-war between love and pride. One moment the couple is giving each other pleasure, the next they are tearing each other apart. The narrator admits his selfish mistakes, yet he cannot understand how the other person can walk away so casually. Each time he closes his eyes, it is still her that he sees, while the rest of the world fades into background noise.

At its core, the song captures the stubborn echo of an unfinished love story. The chorus repeats like an obsession: “C’est toi que je vois” – “It’s you I see.” No matter how much he wants to let go, tonight is not the night. The track reminds listeners of that bittersweet space where the heart refuses to move on, blending remorse, longing, and a touch of self-irony into a stirring French pop ballad.
