Song lyrics
I've been taking what you're giving
Now I'm thinking I've been living 
The fantasy of your sweet smile 

Sad as blue, and blue as only 
You could cast the color on me 
Can you see my fire red

Mmm, mmm
C'est la vie 
C'est la vie, here in my lonely 
C'est la vie 
C'est la vie, here in my lonely without him 

Boy, you swallow truth like honey 
As you spew your lies upon me 
Sweet and smooth, as it goes down 

C'est la vie 
C'est la vie, here in my lonely 
C'est la vie 
C'est la vie, here in my lonely without him 

Oh, c'est you, c'est me 
C'est always and forevermore 
I'll be your perfect, little sugar bride 
But oh, if you could see 
The truth within our perfect harmony 
Your melody is bringing me down 

Mmm, mmm
C'est la 
C'est la vie 
C'est la vie 
C'est la vie 
C'est la vie, here in my lonely 
C'est la vie 
C'est la vie, here in my lonely without him 
Without him 

Boy you swallow truth like honey

This is my favorite song on Harmonium. It really spices up the album because it shows how much talent VC has. She is an amazing writer. My favorite line is : "Can you see my fire red?" because Vanessa has so much power and passion behind her voice. She continues to amaze me, and I have officially worn-out the album (still listen to it though). C'est la Vie is aWeSoMe..=)

I love this song. My fave part is after the bridge; after the line "is bringing me down". I almost had a heart attack the first time i heard the beginning but its an awesome song. I don't understand it but so what? I love the rhythm.

it has such a warping melody and it's rhythm can almost make you stick to it. it's jazzy and relaxing in it's own way. this song is totally kickass along with the rest of harmonium.

Best song ever to be created.
