I Grandi Non Piangono Mai

Big people never cry
You gotta be stronger, how many times have you told me that?
The number of tears I get is never proportional
To the tears I shed
You were there when I was down
I promise I won’t do it again
I’ve done a ton of bullshit, luckily you were there
With my drug problems, raising three little kids
Without asking for help and doing it alone
But you taught me what respect is
I’ve met a thousand bastards but I never lost that
You were the first to tell me to do it
The first to believe in me
And even before I believed in myself
Tell me what to do, you said you can do it!
A star that shines on its own keeps on glowing
I don’t forget the past
How could I deny my heart to the one who gave it to me?

I’d learn to grow up
You’ll sleep with the fear of the dark
It’ll be you and me
Everything will be alright if you’re with me
It doesn’t matter where in the world you’ll be
I’ll always be there, you know
No one deserves your tears
Big people, no, they never cry

Do you really think I, no, don’t recognize you?
For all the roles you’ve played, you deserve an Oscar
And I wondered how many masks you had
You were my best enemy, my worst rival
You were my teacher, Santa Claus
The doorman who lets you in if you forget your key
The same one who taught me how to mess up
You played every role in the world before being a mother
Hours turn into days, days turn into years and now you’re grown
You can’t buy time, no one will get it back
I’ve been writing songs since I lost my memory
I realized preserving my memories is my priority
Now that I’m traveling the world, I’m living my dream
Remember that I too have a heart under my tattoos
I’ll tell my son that big people never cry
But at least, if not after this song

I’d learn to grow up
You’ll sleep with the fear of the dark
It’ll be you and me
Everything will be alright if you’re with me
It doesn’t matter where in the world you’ll be
I’ll always be there, you know
No one deserves your tears
Big people, no, they never cry
