Una Storia Semplice

Just yesterday it was a game
You said it was about me
So how do you explain the fire
That burns the house and burns you
I saw everything go up in flames
Our story and what’s left
And you’re stuck on your feet
You keep asking me why

This isn’t an easy story
Some tell of lies spread on dry lips

Try to stop for a bit
Don’t laugh at the smoke
I find the face and you know I discover
That it’s not simple at all
To explain that I set fire
To our world, your dolls
But you smile and on your feet
You keep asking me why

This isn’t an easy story
Some tell of lies spread on dry lips
This isn’t our simple story
Among a hundred thousand fairy tales it’s written
Without a happy ending

I try to hold on
And you don’t laugh
If I could do it now I’d be your accomplice
Blowing on the flames
You can’t put out
What’s burning around us can’t be saved
If I had done it sooner
We’d still have time
To fix every mistake with another story
One simpler
One easier
But it’s not my fault if for us this is living

This isn’t an easy story
I don’t want any more lies spread on dry lips
This isn’t our simple story
Among a hundred thousand fairy tales it’s written
Without a happy ending
You seek the happy ending
Now you write the end
