Like after a long, journey
A crossing, through hell in a cage
A rancid smell, a feeling of suffocation
I come out of a trance, my anger is gone
And we too, have nothing left to say
Not a single moment left to offer
I can't even read your face anymore
I don't understand your words
We've turned the page, we've bared our teeth
But don't be mad at me if I still think of you
It's because I secretly taste again
I've seen it all and our love is on the run
It stole from us, a year for both of us
Let it go, we're not going to make a scandal
Maybe we'll find it when we're old
We let ourselves drift without a story
What's the point of hurting each other if we’ve lost our desire
I couldn't feel your heart beating in the dark
Indifference sets in, everything's over
And we too, have nothing left to say
Not a single moment left to offer
I can't even read your face anymore
I don't understand your words
We turned the page
We bared our teeth
But don't be mad at me if I still think of you
It's because I secretly taste again
I've seen it all and our love is on the run
It stole from us a year for both of us
Let it go, we're not going to make a scandal
Maybe we'll find it when we're old
I've seen it all and our love is on the run
It stole from us a year for both of us
Let it go, we're not going to make a scandal
Maybe we'll find it when we're old
