Description
Sad as smoke after a holiday, this song is about how people can ruin everything even without malicious intent. It seems like you just didn't notice that someone nearby was slowly fading away. Not on purpose, just running around, fussing, looking for confirmation somewhere far away, while the warmth slipped through your fingers. And then it's too late. Words can no longer save the day, and silence cuts deeper than confessions. All that's left is to play it cool, as if it was all just a game, as if the heart is unaware. But the sound gives it away - because if it really was “just sex,” it wouldn't sound so painful.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Credi davvero non ci abbia mai messo la faccia?
Vorrei soltanto sapessi che non è un granché
Cercavi le differenze tra me e una condanna
Ora che sei tra le sue braccia, cosa ti frega di me?
Scusa se non mi ero accorto che avevi un espressione triste, non esiste
Sarà che ho sprecato il tempo a correre dietro altre mille, come servisse
Detesto che ne stai ancora pagando il prezzo
Di farti convivere col mio silenzio
Tu ti aspettavi di tutto da me
Tutto, ma non questo
E adesso tu fingi che era soltanto sesso
Forse ci ho pensato troppo e non riesco
Più a pensare ad un finale diverso
Tutto tranne questo
E non so come si fa ad odiarti anche a metà
Ma avrei voluto imparare prima che si rovinasse
E ora il tuo nome è uguale a un livido
E il dolore è così vivido
Che non riesco neanche a dirtelo
Che ci muoio ad amarti
Scusa se non mi ero accorto che avevi un espressione triste, non esiste
Sarà che ho sprecato il tempo a correre dietro altre mille, come servisse
Detesto che ne stai ancora pagando il prezzo
Di farti convivere col mio silenzio
Tu ti aspettavi di tutto da me
Tutto, ma non questo
E adesso tu fingi che era soltanto sesso
Forse ci ho pensato troppo e non riesco
Più a pensare ad un finale diverso
Tutto tranne questo
English translation
Do you really think he never showed his face?
I just want you to know that it's not that great
You were looking for the differences between me and a conviction
Now that you're in his arms, what do you care about me?
Sorry if I didn't realize you had a sad expression, it doesn't exist
Maybe it's because I wasted my time running after a thousand others, as needed
I hate that you're still paying the price
To make you live with my silence
You expected everything from me
Everything, but not this
And now you pretend it was just sex
Maybe I've thought about it too much and I can't
More to think about a different ending
Everything except this
And I don't know how anyone can even half hate you
But I would have liked to learn before it was ruined
And now your name equals a bruise
And the pain is so vivid
Which I can't even tell you
I'm dying to love you
Sorry if I didn't realize you had a sad expression, it doesn't exist
Maybe it's because I wasted my time running after a thousand others, as needed
I hate that you're still paying the price
To make you live with my silence
You expected everything from me
Everything, but not this
And now you pretend it was just sex
Maybe I've thought about it too much and I can't
More to think about a different ending
Everything except this
