Vorrei Proteggerti Dal Mondo
Michele Merlo
I Wish I Could Protect You from the World
Do you remember it like it was yesterday
The day you got lost inside
And you thought about how to find your way back
How to stay on your feet
Do you remember how to fly?
Just don’t think about what hurts
Sometimes you can’t do it, you want to disappear
And then become small and run to the sea
Where the waves are the highest in the world
And then let yourself sink
And then rise again
I wish I could protect you from the world
Because the world isn’t fair
Because you’re alone and don’t understand
What’s real and what’s fake
I wish I could protect you from everything
You, a star against the universe
Trying to take on life
Even if you can’t find a meaning
Even if you can’t find a meaning
Do you remember the things you’ve been through
And all those people who never understood you
That those who always smile can still feel pain
Because there are things to forget
For every bitter tear that wet your smile
For the panic in your chest that changed your face
For the friends you’ve lost
And that you never found again
For every wrong love
For everything inside you that’s gone silent
For the nights wasted trying to find a meaning
A meaning for all of life or just a minute
I wish I could protect you from the world
Because the world isn’t fair
Because you’re alone and don’t understand
What’s real and what’s fake
I wish I could protect you from everything
You, a star against the universe
Trying to take on life
Even if you can’t find a meaning
It’s only when you close your eyes
That you see clearly what’s inside you
Because sometimes it’s in a fist
That the universe hides
Deep down you know it might be true
What we said to each other
That life is lighter
If you don’t think about life
I wish I could protect you from the world
Because the world isn’t fair
Because you’re alone and don’t understand
What’s real and what’s fake
I wish I could protect you from everything
You, a star against the universe
Trying to take on life
Even if you can’t find a meaning
Even if you can’t find a meaning
