What We Share

Lyrics: Stanley Péan / Music: Lucie Roy

What we share is fragile
Can’t bear the thought of breaking it
It’s been going on for a while
We obviously can’t be faking it
You probably don’t have a clue
What you meant and still mean to me
What we share is deep and true
Yet some sort of mystery

What we share is precious
Can’t bear the thought of losing it
To me, it’s more than obvious
We have gladly chosen it
You haven’t the slightest idea
Of what we have though it’s not love
What we share, you and me
Most others just dream of

What we share isn’t love, no, it isn’t
And I know that we wouldn’t
Ever dream of calling it love
What we share isn’t love, no, it isn’t
It’s clear that we shouldn’t
Mistake what we share with love
It’s been stronger than friendship
It’s been thriving through hardship

What we share is complex
Prudes would have us ruining it
It’s more priceless than just sex
If we thought of not pursuing it
You probably won’t have a clue
What you meant and still mean to me
What we share is deep and true
Yet remains a mystery

What we share isn’t love, no, it isn’t
And I know that we wouldn’t
Ever dream of calling it love
What we share isn’t love, no, it isn’t
It’s clear that we shouldn’t
Mistake what we share with love
It’s been stronger than friendship
It’s been thriving through hardship

Never needed no courtship
And I’m glad we never slipped
Never faltered and never tripped
What we share feels like kinship

You probably won’t have a clue
What you meant and still mean to me
What we share is deep and true
Yet remains a mystery, a mystery
