Distratto
Francesca Michielin
Distracted
An hour a day or a little more
How much longer will you be there
To wish me harm, oh harm
That only causes harm
But I haven't lost my honesty
And I can't tell you it will pass
To hold you tight when deep down
Would be a deception
And can't you see that I'm crying
If someone notices, it's not you
You're too distracted
An hour a day or a little more
You always said it's forever, yes, but
Look at what's left now
That nothing is the same
If the soul doesn't make noise
And when you're here in front of me, it doesn't light up
It's because I don't feel the warmth anymore
I don't see the color
And can't you see that I'm crying
If someone notices, it's not you
Your distracted gaze
And can't you see that I'm pretending
And you don't look at me anymore
With your distracted manner
Tear... them
(the pages)
(of the days with me)
You won't see me again
(you can burn them because)
(you won't see me)
And you won't hurt me
And you won't deceive me
And it won't be
(You won't betray me)
Anymore
(as you think)
An hour a day or a little more
How much longer will I believe you?
Alone and lost, more confused
You wouldn't have wanted
To see me slip away
Out of your hands... what a fantasy!
Out of your life but you caught me
Just fooling around
And now you see that I'm laughing?
And the one looking at me isn't you
You were always distracted
Now that I'm having fun
The one looking for me isn't you
You were too distracted
Tear... them
(the pages)
(of the days with me)
You won't see me again
(you can burn them because)
(you won't see me)
And you won't hurt me
And you won't deceive me
And it won't be
(You won't betray me)
Anymore
(as you think)
For an hour a day maybe a little more
The world didn't turn if you weren't there
And don't wish me harm now
If I don't recognize you
