It's taking a lot for me to breath now
It's taking a lot for me to smile now
Things are getting harder and harder
You closed every door i was trying to open with you
And i never understood why
I Couldn't Save You 'Cos You Didn't Want To Be Saved
And this is getting really stressful now
Maybe i like tragic things, maybe i like suffering
And maybe that's the reason why i kept on ignoring what you were doing with me
and after all that i ended all broken
I Couldn't Save You 'Cos You Didn't Want To Be Saved
Your house was perfect for monsters
Your house was perfect for bashing myself
Your house was perfect for becoming a monster every weekend
How Long Does Pain Last In The Distance?

Here I Am

the fragillity came to me in my early days and it would never go away.
when i want to bring myself down, i try to think of you.
i live in the past, i live suffering for the cake that wasn't done.
"you're the important one" they said to me.
i wish i could start believing those words
here i am trying to stop this revolution inside myself
here i am tasting the blood that comes out of my chest again
you're everything i hate but i still like you a lot
'cos my tendency was always to love what i hated the most
i want to leave this whole thing behind and go back to who i really was
"will i see the light?" i asked
i hope i will soon, to start a new life.
here i am trying to recover myself, one more time
here i am trying to visualize someone else with me
here i am trying to stop theorising about my past with you
here i am trying to find the way to get success
this loneliness
is getting deeper
i hope to get out of here
as fast as i can
here i am ignoring all the stupid shit i put myself through
here i am drowning the awful people i was surrounded by
here i am yelling at the pain "get the fuck away from me right now"
here i am trying to find the way to get success

Anything

once i feel myself at peace
i will be able to let you go
i'll always care about you
i'll always feel curious about your life
but i know we can't be together
you never wanted me the way i wanted you
if i had the chance to relive this story
i think i would say no
you never understood love the way i do
so that's why you don't hurt like i do
you made me suffer so bad
you know your actions and words were pure poison
and so that's why you keep yourself far from me
you never understood love the way i do
so that's why you don't hurt like i do
i'll put a ribbon around your heart 'till you decide you're all mine
i'll put a ribbon around your heart 'till you realise i'm worth it
i'll put a ribbon around your heart 'till you see i can't get over you
if this fails i'll know you don't want, peace in your world
now it doesnt mean anything at all
you never understood love the way i do
so that's why you don't hurt like i do

A Short Film About Us

You took all what was mine
You tore me apart
i gave you everything and more
though i think you owe me nothing (in return)
i waited a couple of weeks to let everything calm down
i was waiting for this mess to change
when we saw each other again we felt really uncomfortable
we couldn't even speak, i felt that was the end
i did the best i could
i tried to make you feel better
i tried to help you change your neurotic head
but you didn't even see any of...

i tried to make you feel better
i tried to help you change your neurotic head
but you didn't even see any of that
You woke up one last time next to me
we were already messed up
at that point the whole shortfilm about us
was simultaneously in my mind
i did the best i could
i tried to make you feel better
i tried to help you change your neurotic head
but you didn't even see any of that

Gena Rowlands lying on the floor
in that movie i recommended to you
I know you watched it because of me
and everytime i recall that, i fall
I tried to put myself in your skin
I tried to remember the people i rejected
every Opening Night i played,
you were not coming so you were feeling guilty
'cos you knew i wanted to see you in the crowd
once i almost called you to say: "Please come!"
I tried to put myself in your skin
I tried to remember the people i rejected
But this was so different
'cos we were not only lovers
I was still waiting for something good
to happen between us
I tried to put myself in your skin
I tried to remember the people i rejected
the people i rejected....

Love And Hate
03:08

That was all a bit public
for my liking.
I was blind drunk,
drunk that night.
There was one point,
where I nearly started
to destroy myself
just to be close to you,
just to be close to you,
Love and hate, the same day, in my head
We bitch about each other,
or ‘bout other people.
but sometimes, you know,
you just think God,
why don't we just get a room?
why don't we just get a room?
Love and hate, the same day, in my head
Love and hate, love and hate, love and hate, love and hate.
Stay with me forever, I said to you

Build And Rebuild

Your face, your look
your careful honesty
you're pure, you're kind
but my mind seems to keep messing me up
You're fresh, you're bright
You care for the people around you
You're brave, you're neat
You laugh and admire my drinking skills
You see what’s important in me
you see what’s important in life
you build and rebuild
i admire every brick you're putting here
You're real, you're loyal
you spend your energy in the wisest way
you see my soul
you enjoy my look while i'm driving you home
You see what’s important in me
you see what’s important in life
you build and rebuild
i admire every brick you're putting here
You make me wanna be human without perfection
i think you'll mend these mixed feelings in me
You see what’s important in me
you see what’s important in life
you build and rebuild
i admire every brick you're putting here

Something Right
04:00
|

|
Your whole world far from me for the first time in six months
Your whole definition of yourself is melancholy,
and that's the awful point in common between you and i
You prayed for changes that would never come, 'cos you preferred them not to.
You must have done something right, i know, i know
like no one had done it before
But now this is all i've got, nothing, nothing, nothing at all
You wanted someone who’d make you forget your life for a while
You wanted someone who’d make you forget your present, your past
You wanted everything and nothing at the same time
I tried hard to get us up but we just wanted
to be stuck to the floor
You must have done something right, i know, i know
like no one had done it before
But now this is all i've got, nothing, nothing, nothing at all
You wanted to piss me off more than twice,
but then you hugged me stronger than my friends
How do you suppose i felt back then?
What do you suppose i feel like now?
