[English]

When I wanted you

You didn't want me

When I was happy

You were bad

When you were into it

You didn't know how to give yourself

I was there

But you didn't see

It's getting cold in this place

Where I don't fit anymore

Where I don't fit anymore

Where I don't fit anymore

And I don't fit in myself

...

When I wanted you

You scorned me

When it was over

You wanted to go back

When I went to speak

My voice failed

Everything went out

You didn't see me

It's getting cold in this place

Where I don't fit anymore

Where I don't fit anymore

Where I don't fit anymore

And I don't fit in myself

But if I'm already lost

How will I get lost?

If I'm already lost

When I lost you

But if I've already lost you

How will I get lost?

If I'm already lost

When I lost you

...

[Portuguese]

Quando eu quis você

Você não me quis

Quando eu fui feliz

Você foi ruim

Quando foi afim

Não soube se dar

Eu estava lá

Mas você não viu

Tá fazendo frio nesse lugar

Onde eu já não caibo mais

Onde eu já não caibo mais

Onde eu já não caibo mais

E já não caibo em mim

Quando eu quis você

Você desprezou

Quando se acabou

Quis voltar atrás

Quando eu fui falar

Minha voz falhou

Tudo se apagou

Você não me viu

Tá fazendo frio nesse lugar

Onde eu já não caibo mais

Onde eu já não caibo mais

Onde eu já não caibo mais

E já não caibo em mim

Mas se eu já me perdi

Como eu vou me perder?

Se eu já me perdi

Quando perdi você

Mas se eu já te perdi

Como eu vou me perder?

Se eu já me perdi

Quando perdi você
