We give each other pleasure then we give each other pain

We flirt then we do each other dirty

I thought for two, nah, I was just thinking of myself

You lit me up just to leave me alone

How can you act like

We didn't know each other, we never promised a thing?

How do you do it? I just can't

When I close my eyes, yeah, you're the one I see

It's you I see, the others don't count

I'd like to let you go but I can't

It's you I see even in the dark

I'd like to let you go but it won't be tonight

Because it's you I see

Yeah, it's you I see

Why can't I forget?

Yeah, it's you I see

Some take off and never come back

Some feel guilty a few years later

I don't wish you bad, honestly, I don't know

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

They told me to be careful

But I played deaf, f*ck, I'm so dumb

How do you do it? I can't

When I close my eyes, yeah, you're the one I see

It's you I see, the others don't count

I'd like to let you go but I can't

It's you I see even in the dark

I'd like to let you go but it won't be tonight

Because it's you I see

Yeah, it's you I see

Why can't I forget?

Yeah, it's you I see

Don't tell me you love me

If you're leaving anyway

Don't tell me it's the same

If you don't live the same

Don't tell me you love me

If you're leaving anyway

Don't tell me, no

It's you I see, the others don't count

I'd like to let you go but I can't

It's you I see even in the dark

I'd like to let you go but it won't be tonight

It's you I see, the others don't count

I'd like to let you go but I can't

It's you I see even in the dark

I'd like to let you go but it won't be tonight

Because it's you I see

Yeah, it's you I see

Why can't I forget?

Yeah, it's you 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.
