Ferma a Guardare

Don't ever hurt me again
I who’ve never had a girl for a while
I’ve always kept my relationships at a distance
They all want to take something I don’t have
You don’t get close to people when you’re grown
Then you show up, hey
In your blue eyes, hey
I find the fear I have of falling in love
I pull up a cloud, made of excuses
That I come up with just to avoid getting close
Under your doorway, you asked me if I’m down
To go up and it was just the first date
In the same spot after months I give you
Heartaches and you’re sending me away saying

Don’t ever hurt me again
Now I don’t want to talk anymore
Because I can’t just stand there watching
You walk down the stairs

A studio apartment on the Navigli in forty square meters
You asked me do you believe in love? Or if I had any wishes
What I thought about the future and if I had real friends
You were drunk but you filled both our thoughts
If you move, you’ve got something like no other girl
And I’ve got truths you don’t want me to say
If I could go back, you know I’d never hurt you
I would’ve bought rings to fill your fingers
Then we’d do it hard, standing on the doors
You say "don’t stop"
But I look at others and I know that on the other side
You can’t forgive it

Under your doorway, you asked me if I’m down
To go up and it was just the first date
In the same spot after months I give you
Heartaches and you’re sending me away saying
You’re sending me away saying

Don’t ever hurt me again
Now I don’t want to talk anymore
Because I can’t just stand there watching
You walk down the stairs, you’re leaving

I’ve probably told you this three thousand times
If it helps, I’ll tell you more
I think of you even when I’m at the post office
Sending letters to your blue eyes
And I don’t know if you’ll let me back in
With flowers in hand, I’m feeling awkward
You laugh and stay there still watching
How beautiful you are, damn

Don’t ever hurt me again
Now I don’t want to talk anymore
Because I can’t just stand there watching
You walk down the stairs, you’re leaving, whoa
You’re leaving
