[English]
From running so much through life without brakes
I forgot that life is lived in a moment
From wanting to be first in everything
I forgot to live
The little details
From playing so much with feelings
Living on applause wrapped in dreams
From shouting my songs to the wind so much
I'm not like yesterday anymore
I no longer know what I feel
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
...
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
...
From singing so much to love and life
I was left without love one night of one day
From playing so much with whom I loved the most
I lost, without wanting to
The best thing I had
From hiding the truth so much with lies
I deceived myself without knowing that I was the one losing
From waiting so much, I who never offered
Today it's my turn to cry
I who always laughed
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
...
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
...
From running so much to gain time on time
Wanting to steal sleep from my nights
From so many failures, from so many attempts
For wanting to discover
Something new every day
From playing so much with feelings
Living on applause wrapped in dreams
From shouting my songs to the wind so much
I'm not like yesterday anymore
I no longer know what I feel
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
I forgot to live
