Te Lo Prometto

Eyes teary if I think
How much time we've wasted
You who kill me laughing
We are dust in the universe

I knew it and I had told you
I've always been a bit different
I would have done something great
I felt it growing from within and now, now
Talk a bit with me

Look, I have a new tattoo
Women and flowers on my arms
Despite everything, I stay in the square
At two, we still play soccer

It doesn't matter if I've succeeded
I care more about where I come from
My home is where the wind blows
My life is above that cement

How many we've been through on those streets
The habits I had, you know they haven't changed
Those phrases on me as if they were tattooed
They still hurt even though now they're farther away

It's true, I made some money even if I don't talk about it
I prefer other things even if sometimes I take refuge and cry
And not because I feel tired, but because I fight
And I repeat to myself never change, Guido don't do it

No, no, no, no, no
I don't want to abandon these streets
You know I'll survive and I won't leave you behind
I travel the world but then I'll come back

We'll come back to the square
You don't know how beautiful a friend is
Who gives you their shoulder just to cry
But look at me, they wanted to change me but
It's not possible
You know it doesn't work
It's nothing similar
No, not even a crumb
We'll surpass the limit
Sitting on a cloud
I promise you

And I keep my promises
It's late, I'm in the parking lot, the lights go out
I'm not ready yet
I want to scream until I lose my voice, they don't hear me

Tomorrow the world ends
I climb on the roof to watch the sunset so they don't catch me
You don't know how much I need it
I apologize for what I've done to you, I still don't forgive myself

A butterfly lives shortly but dies flying
I think about how important it is to live dreaming
Everyone talks but few do
Everyone talks and only a few find the courage
And gamble

I stay watching from afar
In one hand the world and in my backpack a pencil
It's just a diary
I haven't changed my track
The world where I was born
I never liked it and I redesigned it

I chose how to live and I don't blame myself
Even if I don't care, you know me, I'll never change
For when we don't agree
For when I thought it's too much

You can't scratch the thread, it's made of granite
What a child wants to hear is just I'll love you
Regardless of what you'll do
Your family is the most precious and unique
But if you live it badly, it's surely your worst enemy

No, no, no, no, no
I don't want to abandon these streets
You know I'll survive and I won't leave you behind
I travel the world but then I'll come back

We'll come back to the square
You don't know how beautiful a friend is
Who gives you their shoulder just to cry
But look at me, they wanted to change me but
It's not possible
You know it doesn't work
It's nothing similar
No, not even a crumb
We'll surpass the limit
Sitting on a cloud
I promise you

Eh-eh, oh-oh
I promise you
Eh-eh, oh-oh
I promise you
Eh-eh, oh-oh
I promise you
Eh-eh, oh-oh
I promise you
