We're so beautiful in the photo

We're so beautiful on socials, babe

You see how jealous people are of us

Everything I own is yours

And everything you own is mine too

We've got everything to be fine

But stuff just isn't everything at all

I wonder why we're still together

Us two, nah, we don't even really know

Yeah, you and me, maybe we should stop here

It's better, since we didn't really love each other

Don't you think they're weird?

You really believe their story, you?

I don't think it's gonna last long

I admit, it'll be five years soon

But they're painful to watch, right?

I don't think they'll ever exchange vows

I wonder why you're still together

You two, nah, nobody even really knows

Yeah, him and you, maybe you should stop here

It's better, you don't really love each other

I've got her under my skin, I've got her in my thoughts

But of course I'd like to marry her

Well actually I was supposed to tell her Tuesday

Knee on the ground, I was gonna propose to her

Before I opened my mouth, she apologized

I was so shocked when she told me

I wonder why we're still together

Us two, no, I don't even really know

Yeah, you and me, maybe we should stop here

It's better, since I didn't really love you

Outro

I wonder why we're still together

Us two, well, we don't even really know

Outro

Yeah, you and me, maybe we should stop here

It's better, since we didn't really love each other

SONG MEANING

Pas Vraiment (“Not Really”) is Stromae’s witty side-eye at modern relationships that look flawless online but feel hollow off-screen. The Belgian hitmaker invites us to scroll through a picture-perfect feed where he and his partner seem enviably in love: shiny smiles, shared possessions, and followers who can’t help but be “jealous.” Yet between the likes and the luxury, a nagging question keeps popping up: Why are we even together?

Through playful back-and-forth lyrics, Stromae exposes three couples—all mirrors of one another—who keep up appearances while quietly admitting they do not “really” love. Gossiping friends predict break-ups, proposals sink before they sail, and every chorus lands on the same resigned punchline: it might be better to end things than to keep pretending. The result is a catchy, tongue-in-cheek reminder that social media snapshots and shared stuff are no substitute for genuine connection.
