what do u think the lyrics are about? I'd like to know your own interpretations of those lyrics.
I've been takin' what your given'
Now I'm thinkin' I've been livin'
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 am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I 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 am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely without him
Oh, say you, say me
Say always and forever more
I'll be your perfect little sugar bride
But oh, if you could see
The truth within our perfect harmony
Your melody is bringin' me down
Mmm... Mmm...
C'est la
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely without him
Without him
Boy you swallow truth like honey...

I think it's about a relationship that you thought was something totally different from what it actually was...
eh? haha

According to Vanessa, the song is about the frustrating situations in life that you can do nothing about. So just fuck it. That's what she means, just politely phrasing it "C'est la vie."
