We could have

Said at least a thousand times

Goodbye, too late

We would have looked

Into each other's eyes

Telling each other

What bound us both

Say thank you to

All those craziness

That destroyed us a little

Around us

Are people jealous

We would almost go crazy

And by talking

Listening to each other, getting angry

Punishing, destroying each other

Forgetting, crushing each other

It's the future that forced us

To leave each other

So I don't say no

To us separating

For a new start

So I don't say no

To us letting each other fall

To find each other better

To give each other time

A bit like before

To be far more often

I know it will be hard

Even a bit cruel

To have our wings cut

And even if you think

It's my problem

You're in it

You're still there

And by resisting

Holding on, revolting

Going against, tearing apart

Oppressing each other

It's the future that forced us

To leave each other

So I don't say no

To us separating

For a new start

So I don't say no

To us letting each other fall

To find each other better

To give each other time

A bit like before

To be far more often

It's me telling you

The story makes sense

But it starts where

It must stop

The people who will make you believe

The opposite

Will be the same

Who will betray you from behind

The same ones who push me

To sing and shout

But before writing my songs

I think of him who inspires me

I think of us when I breathe

I stop lamenting about the past

Finding excuses

For what happens to us

For what happened

To stay on the right path

Hand in hand

That's what I tell myself every morning

Always believe that the universe

Is against me

That it pushes me into the void

Without you

So I don't say no

To us separating

For a new start

So I don't say no

To us letting each other fall

To find each other better

To give each other time

A bit like before

To be far more often

So I don't say no

To us separating

For a new start

So I don't say no

To us letting each other fall

To find each other better

To give each other time

A bit like before

To be far more often

So I don't say no

SONG MEANING

Nouveau Départ (“New Start”) is Stéphane’s heartfelt pep‐talk to a couple on the edge of burnout. After countless arguments, jealous whispers and dingueries that “destroyed us a little,” the singer suggests a counter-intuitive remedy: hit pause, say goodbye for now, and let the future breathe. Rather than clinging to a love that’s cracking, the two partners thank the wild moments that once glued them together, accept that time and distance are necessary, and trust that stepping back may be the only way to step forward.

In this bittersweet but uplifting anthem, separation is not failure; it is a strategic pit stop. Stéphane reminds us that wings may feel clipped, yet space can rekindle the spark, and honest self-reflection can outshine any outside noise. The song turns goodbye into a promise of growth—proof that sometimes the bravest “yes” begins with “I don’t say no” to a fresh start.
