On stage I've left

My smile

Abandoned captain

Without a ship

Sorry if I preferred

To destroy myself

Even at the risk of damaging

My empire

On stage I've left

My smile

If only

I'd known how to tell you

Without having to write it on my skin

If only

I'd known how to talk to you about it

Without the fear of ruining the picture

If only

I'd really known how to tell you

If only

I'd known how to tell you

Before

From our years I've kept

Your smile

It's the one that warmed me

In the worst

Sorry if I preferred

Hold back

The sobs I carried

Without saying it

From our years I've kept

Your smile

If only

I'd known how to tell you

Without having to write it on my skin

If only

I'd known how to talk to you about it

Without the fear of ruining the picture

If only

I'd really known how to tell you

If only

I'd known how to tell you

Before

If only

I'd known how to tell you

Without having to write it on my skin

If only

I'd known how to talk to you about it

Without the fear of ruining the picture

If only

I'd really known how to tell you

If only

I'd known how to tell you

Before

If only

SONG MEANING

Kendji Girac invites us backstage in Si Seulement... and lets us see the cracks behind the spotlight. On stage he “left his smile”, feeling like a captain without a ship, and chose silence over confession. The repeated plea “Si seulement” (“If only”) is a wave of regret: he wishes he had said the words carved into his skin, spoken his truth without fearing he would ruin the perfect picture. The verses swing between glittering performance and hidden self-destruction, showing how easily a shining empire can crumble when feelings stay locked inside.

Yet the song glows with tenderness. Kendji clings to the other person’s smile, a small light that warmed him through his worst moments. He apologises for holding back tears, for not trusting his voice sooner, and urges listeners to speak up before if only becomes too late. Emotional, melodic, and brutally honest, this track turns a personal confession into a universal lesson about vulnerability and the courage to say what matters.
