Description

Sometimes a meeting after a breakup is like a short film without a sequel: familiar voices, slightly awkward smiles, questions to which both know the answers. Just a few minutes, and then it's back to “reality.” But it is in these moments that everything that was once important comes alive: the smell of cigarettes, the old sofa, the laughter that the walls remember.

Love here does not beg to come back - it just sits quietly nearby, no longer making any demands. It doesn't demand explanations or seek to assign blame. Because if something was once real, it doesn't disappear - it just becomes softer, quieter, like the light at sunset. And there is something surprisingly kind about that: even when it's over, love still knows how to be a light.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Turn around

Since when are you smoking now?

It's been a while, let me know

You're the only one who knows that name

I just wanna know if you're okay

Only have a couple minutes, it already kinda feels like

Back on your sofa

Of course, I still care

Love's never wasted

When it's shared, mm, mm

And although it's over

I'll always be there

Only have a couple minutes, guess we're going back to real life

I guess we've found a silver lining

I'm glad you're doing so well

If only you could see how I've been

If I'm being real, you know it ain't been the same

We could talk if we want now

I already know it's no good for me

It's alright, think I'm fine with the silence

There's some good in goodbyes

Oh, I

Back on your sofa

Of course, I still care

Love's never wasted

When it's shared, mm, mm

And although it's over

I'll always be there

Only have a couple minutes and we're going back to real life

In your heart

Every part of me

We'll let go

And let it start to be

In your heart

Every part of me

We'll let go

And let it start to be

In your heart

Every part of me

We'll let go

And let it start to be

In your heart

Every part of me

We'll let go

And let it start to be (oh, oh, eh, eh, eh)

Only have a couple minutes, guess we're going back to real life

(Oh, oh, eh, eh, eh)

Only have a couple minutes and we're going back to real life
