Lyrics & Translation
I remember the first time I told myself
Now it's your turn
And I was laughing and crying and I kept saying
Love, love, love
But what love, what love, where’s love
If love doesn’t know me
And slowly I learned to give up
I
Wasn’t ready yet, I wasn’t
But
With all my best faith, I
It’s tried and tried again
And kept trying again, and then
I believed I’d find someone
Who instead defeated me more than ever
Here I am
With nothing much that I have
Unavoidably, I
Start over again
Yes, here I am
Or I wouldn’t be myself anymore
Do you want to give me another story, God
Do you want to give it to me
Or it’s always only up to me
Always only me, the same mistakes
And they’re the ones looking for me
I’ve grown up, I’ve made myself very small
I was a verse and then
An useless word
I was just a fantasy
But all of that is to be thrown away
No, I can’t, I don’t want to, I must not
I don’t believe, not me
But how many more times
Must I pay because
It’s all over
All I have left is the strength to say that it really is over
God, oh my God
With nothing left to me, I
Will be able to start again
I
