[English]
When you think about giving up or disappearing
Lift your head, believe, you can win
When the sun is gone and the moon starts to shine
Come to the window, hear me sing
How many times have I found myself lost, afraid to lie down
Thinking that tomorrow, I might not wake up
Close your eyes and see that everything is still
Cry for those who have hurt me
I wanted to tell you a story, but you weren't there to listen
I wanted to say how much I adore you, but you ended up giving up
Knowing that you distanced yourself, afraid to take a risk
Feeling that you no longer feel, or that you are deceiving me
I didn't pay attention, wasted time on trivial things
The sky wants to fall on me, I have to apologize to you
Life is a game, I took a risk, but I lost
If you don't smile at life, it won't smile at you
Travel into my inner self, discover who I am
Give me a safe haven, I'll give you what is mine
Close your eyes, run away from your fears
Travel into my inner self, discover who I am
Give me a safe haven, I'll give you what is mine
And believe that for me you don't need to have secrets
I crossed out the phrase I wrote, that wrote my future
I would put my hands in the fire for destiny, I hope it’s not harsh
In my notebook, you find the story of my life
And in my past, you find stories that I hid
Afternoons spent with a soul that only I could see
Lyrics of songs I wrote and reflected
I never asked for much, but they didn't even give me the little
On the path of life, you don't wait for me
And that’s what revolts me, touches me, and shocks me
The interest of those who speak and won't return to me
I am your voice, which has long been trapped
I let it go, because I know it will return
The fears I have are revealed here
All the thoughts are rethought
The moment I try to be forgiven for what I didn't do
It didn't show up, it didn't show up because I didn't want it to
I travel the world, flying in illusions
I am without answers, but I have a hundred questions
Help me, free me, from all these weights
And when they leave, I swear I'll tell you my secrets
Travel into my inner self, discover who I am
Give me a safe haven, I'll give you what is mine
Close your eyes, run away from your fears, ooo
Travel into my inner self, discover who I am
Give me a safe haven, I'll give you what is mine
And believe that for me you don't need to have secrets
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Eh eh eh eh
Travel into my inner self oh oh
Travel into my inner self oh oh
Iêê
Travel into my inner self oh oh
Travel into my inner self oh oh, oo
Uoo
Uoo
I'll give you what is mine
