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
