A Forma Di Origami

There are things I can't say to you
Memories are enough to keep me alive
Growing up, I just became the man
I needed when I was a kid

It was easier to hate you
Than to admit that I miss you
To stop thinking about you
A child who doesn't cry has bigger eyes
As if he were bigger than the big ones

Because it was you
Who made me live and forget
And it was you
Who did me good and made me feel bad

You with eyes as big as the world
I feel small compared to you
So clear that I can see the bottom
All this time to understand that
If I look inside, I see a bit of me
Because life never goes according to plan
You who are my balance and my chaos
Us with the fear of feeling human
Ruined sheets in the shape of origami

There are things I can't say to you
Over time, you taught me to be fragile
Sometimes what you love ends up hurting you
What’s really left of me?

Outside there’s sunshine but inside a storm
Scars remind me that the past is real
You can't forget
There are voids that words can't fill

Because it was you
Who made me live and forget
And it was you
Who did me good and made me feel bad

You with eyes as big as the world
I feel small compared to you
So clear that I can see the bottom
All this time to understand that
If I look inside, I see a bit of me
Because life never goes according to plan
You who are my balance and my chaos
Us with the fear of feeling human
Ruined sheets in the shape of origami

We’re far apart even though we’re in the same place
Where silences are full of words
We walk together but in opposite directions
Towards roads that will take us elsewhere

Because life never goes according to plan
You who are my balance and my chaos
Us with the fear of feeling human
Ruined sheets in the shape of origami
