Avrei Voluto

The rain was soaking into me
Water knives cutting through
Heavy was the soul that slipped on down
Loving truths offered themselves, asking for no mercy

The road was silver now
And the life I tossed aside
Came back to tear me apart
That moment I never gave
The image of us
A reflection that never reveals who you are

I really wanted to give in
To keep you here
But my wet lips
Screamed out like this:
Love evaporates only when I hold you tight
A shiver that dies like salt, I will die...

The rain didn’t know it was bringing me back to you
It marked the solitude, barely noticeable
You already know the story
But that moment is all that will remain

I really wanted to give in to tell you I’m yours
To surrender to the moment and not run away
But my heart slipped like these arms that
Don’t hold love but fears, I will die... for you

I really wanted to give in to keep you here
To let myself be carried away without sadness
And know nothing like these drops that
Confuse tears and don’t know I’ll return....
