Cometa

Comet
(Do you know it?
Shall we sing it together?)
It seems like more than a century has passed
And it's only been twelve nights
Without feeling your warmth
I swear I try and try but I can't
I can't fall asleep
The memories are lost
From the journey we took
To get to know the snow, and
Have our first time
Dance every sunset, but
We ran out of time
And despite giving everything
And despite wanting it so much
We swore to cross more than a thousand rivers
To stay alive
To stay alive
Suddenly we just got lost
Swearing to each other we lied
From this war, two wounded remain
Defeated, defeated by fear
And despite giving everything
And despite wanting it so much
We wouldn't come out of this undefeated
And defeated, we remained defeated
Remembering
That despite giving everything
We never flew a kite
