Finchè Vivrò
Albano Carrisi
As Long as I Live
I love you because hating you is harder
because I can't tell you what has been, has been
I've consumed doubts and anxieties
and I've changed hoping to change with you
but everyone has their own curtain inside the soul
that hides what we really are
enemies of our solitudes
close friends but only of our truths
thinking of me and saying that life is only mine
is a lie that maybe I'll learn
but from my heart I don't move you
you stay here whether it's wrong or not
as long as I live you'll be there
I swear I'll never deny you
as long as I live you'll live inside me
even if now I don't know who you are
you know how many days and nights have your breath
if I count them I run out of breath
you've never forgiven me for knowing you
for giving you more than you wanted
loving you or loving you a little but not feeling you're mine
or loving another, whatever love may be
but from my heart I don't move you
you stay here whether it's wrong or not
as long as I live you'll be there
I swear I'll never erase you
as long as I live you'll remain for me
simply the one I would like
as long as I live you'll live inside me
even if now I don't know who you are.
