Un Uomo Che Mi Ama

I don’t know why, even tonight I’m here
unavoidably, dishonestly I’m here
I come to take love without ever giving any back
because if you touch me, if I just close my eyes
he comes back
that tear I cried
him, my eternal torment
if he were here now, you’d see all the pain
of a woman who loses herself
in a man who’s not worth it
who kicks the heart and then throws it away
and you pick up the pieces, I watch you as you caress me
you, my reference point
you, my immense regret
if you send me away, I can’t say anything
the reason is this time I’m the one deceiving an innocent
a man who loves me, sincere like you
because I don’t know how to love you, why?

Sooner or later, I know, we’ll make love, you and me
even if, though, you’ll end up paying more than I will
because I could hurt you and I swear I wouldn’t want to
because it’s pointless if I keep finding
him in every thought of mine
him, my bitter destiny
if he were here now, then you’d understand
that despite all logic, love is unfair
it makes you despair for those who can hurt you
and trample love for those who know how to care like
you, who’ve never let me down
you who’ve never given up
because you keep me here giving me tenderness
you only risk drowning in my sea of sadness
but maybe that’s what makes you great
because I don’t know how to love you, why?
