Description
It all started so well - like a scene from a romantic movie: a glance, a smile, the wind in your hair. But in the final credits, there was no kiss, just an attempt to convince yourself that it wasn't quite over yet. The song is like a voice on the brink: either a whisper or a cry about how love was there, but turned out to be temporary, not permanent. It's a very honest monologue, where commas are replaced by restrained sighs, and periods by a new attempt to start over.
Lyrics and translation
Original
How long ago did you know
That you would say goodbye?
You gave me reasons to believe
But now I’m stuck between your lies
How many times did I
Convince myself to
Try and try again
You came into my life and turned it upside down,
I guess it wouldn't kill for you to love again,
How could I be honest to myself right now
I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to try again.
Here goes the age old story,
“Our love was temporary”
You gave it up and now I’m lost again
I wish it could’ve worked but now I know
That I can’t hold on to something that
Reminds me of the past
I know I don’t say too much
Don’t forget that nothing lasts
You came into my life and turned it upside down
I guess it wouldn't kill for you to love again
How could I be honest to myself right now?
I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to try again
You came into my life and now I’m wanting more
I guess it wouldn’t kill for you to love again
A grip of reality knocking at my door
I guess I’ll never see it in the upside down
How many times did I
Convince myself to
Try and try and try
And try again
