Solo È Solo Una Parola

My heart went to war but I haven’t lost my life
It left, it came back, and what’s left is a shock
Fed by memories and the images that were
There was so much love, now it’s hate’s turn

In this house, no light comes in anymore
You like being alone but I like it way more than you
But how strange, even now, it doesn’t comfort me
I dry my tears and keep telling myself
That 'alone' is just a word

I’ve wanted to tell you for so long, now it’s too late
How I manage to say it, instead, you leave
And I’ll leave too, and a challenge will begin
And that thing will leave too
That doesn’t feel like life right now

I think of you thinking of me
And a life drifts away
I watch you watching me
As another era ends
And while time relentlessly doesn’t comfort

I’m alone but I smile and think
That 'alone' is just a word
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone is just a word
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone is just a word

Love tightens happiness in the corners
It plays with it, denies it, educates it
And I forget, but I only forget the resentment
Because 'alone' is just one of a thousand words

I think of you thinking of me
And a life drifts away
Look at you looking at me
As another era ends
And while time relentlessly doesn’t comfort
I’m alone but I smile and think
That 'alone' is just a word

I’ve written the answers even without the questions
Because I have my share of riddles and doubts
Sent back to the sender
And all those letters to God are bets
And all those tears today are promises

I’m a damn soldier without a war
And I hesitate, I stumble but you won’t see me on the ground
And I laugh because I know I’ll love again
And I shout to anyone who will listen
That 'alone' is just a word

Alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone is just a word

I think of you thinking of me
And a life drifts away
I watch you watching me
As another era ends
And while time relentlessly doesn’t comfort
I’m alone but I smile and think
That 'alone' is just a word
