We could've

Told each other at least a thousand times

Goodbye, too late

We'd have looked

Into each other's eyes

While telling

What bound the two of us

Say thanks to

All those crazy things

That broke us a bit

Around us

Are people jealous

We'd almost go insane

And by talking

By listening, getting mad

Cracking down, destroying each other

Forgetting ourselves, crushing ourselves

The future forced us

To leave each other

So I won't say no

To us breaking up

For a fresh start

So I won't say no

To us letting go

So we can find each other better

Giving ourselves time

A bit like before

Being far more often

I know it'll be hard

Even a bit cruel

To get our wings cut

And even if you think

It's my problem

You're in it

You're there anyway

And by resisting

Holding on, rising up

Going against, tearing each other apart

Oppressing ourselves

The future forced us

To leave each other

So I won't say no

To us breaking up

For a fresh start

So I won't say no

To us letting go

So we can find each other better

Giving ourselves time

A bit like before

Being far more often

I'm the one telling you

The story makes sense

But it starts right

Where it has to stop

People who'll make you believe

The opposite

Will be the same ones

Who'll betray you from behind

The same ones who push me

To sing and scream

But before writing my songs

I think of him who inspires me

I think of us when I breathe

I stop crying over the past

Finding excuses

For what's happening to us

For what happened

To stay on the straight path

Hand in hand

That's what I tell myself every morning

Always thinking the universe

Is against me

Pushing me into the void

Without you

So I won't say no

To us breaking up

For a fresh start

So I won't say no

To us letting go

So we can find each other better

Giving ourselves time

A bit like before

Being far more often

So I won't say no

To us breaking up

For a fresh start

So I won't say no

To us letting go

So we can find each other better

Giving ourselves time

A bit like before

Being far more often

So I won'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.
