Description
When two people hold onto each other for too long, even the air between their fingers starts to mean something. Every "I don't understand you" turns not into an accusation, but into a quiet way of saying: "but I'll still try." Between them, it's not a drama, but a careful attempt not to let go when it would have been easier to turn away. There's a tired warmth here – the very thing that emerges after a hundred conversations where no one has learned to read minds, but still wants to. A song about honesty without pathos: not magic, not eternal love, but a stubborn desire to stay together despite unspoken words.

Lyrics and translation
Original
What am I supposed to do when you give me nothing?
I can only try, but trying takes two
You and I, we've been to many places together
But I want you to take me with you
Through to the other side, don't let go of my hand
I'm not taking chances, could you understand?
I'm not a mind reader, but I will try for you
I'm not a mind reader
There are so many choices we could've made
But we chose each other, didn't we?
If you let go of all your defenses
Do you know how soft and strong that would be?
I am not immune to your charms
They have made it hard to deal with all the tough stuff
But take a look at how far we've come
There's so much more to feel
Through to the other side, don't let go of my hand
I'm not taking chances, you would understand
I'm not a mind reader, but I will try for you
I'm not a mind reader
