Lyrics & Translation
To forget and disappear
Before speaking and hurting afterward
Falling and getting up
Why don't you walk beside me?
Hand in hand, just silently
Nothing, just being here is enough
Just looking at each other is enough
It's not for me
To live like this
Maybe it is for you
What will you decide?
If there are ten thousand ways to forget
To rescue ourselves and try
To always tell each other the truth
Why say no?
If there are ten thousand silences to forget
No secrets left to hide
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
There's no reason to say no
And I know very well that sometimes
Habit can be stronger than loneliness
Sometimes so much stubbornness
Trying to keep us apart
It's not for me
To live like this
Maybe it is for you
What will you decide?
If there are ten thousand ways to forget
To rescue ourselves and try
To always tell each other the truth
Why say no?
If there are ten thousand silences to avoid
No secrets left to hide
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
There's no reason to say no
Love hurts without remedy
If you let it go
And there's no reason to lose it
Let's stop lying
Time is running out
Slowly
If there are ten thousand ways to forget
To rescue ourselves and try
To always tell each other the truth
Why say no?
If there are ten thousand silences to avoid
No secrets left to hide
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
There's no reason to say no, oh oh ohh
