Gli Occhi
Frah Quintale
The Eyes
If I look at myself in a mirror, I resemble your bed a bit
Almost always messy like when I'm at home
Some friend must have bet how long it would take me
To really leave, to be able to say goodbye to you for real
Because I have dreams much bigger than my heart
And you have eyes much bigger than hunger
And I had to go even though I don't know where
And now you must be calling me infamous
Because I couldn't give you a bit of love
I couldn't do worse than this
And I'm terrified that your bed might already have someone else in it
That the effect of the drug I gave you has worn off
Lying on the floor, I count the damage I've done to you
I have an arrow in my chest, all the pain has come back to me
Because I have eyes much blinder than my heart
And I never managed to see love in us
I could tell you endlessly that I'm sorry
Until the words lose their meaning
And your eyes were bigger than hunger
And I took away your appetite to eat
Because I couldn't give you a bit of love
I couldn't do worse than this
