[English]
Look for me everywhere
Just to see you can't find me
To see that you were wrong
In the end, after all
Look for me in other guys
Look for me in other arms
Look for me in other houses
And ask for my hug
You can't find it twice
What I gave you
There are those who go through life
Without finding someone
Who does everything I did
Who really wants to be happy
We were almost everything
It was by a hair's breadth
...
Look for me in other kisses
Look for me in other rooms
Look for me in the mirror
In the pain you feel and keep silent
Look for me in the silence
Look for me later
In the aftermath of your mistake
In what remained of us two
You can't find it twice
What I gave you
There are those who go through life
Without finding someone
Who does everything I did
Who truly wants to be happy
We were almost everything
It was by a hair's breadth
You can't find it twice
What I gave you
There are those who go through life
Without finding someone
Who does everything I did
Who really wants to be happy
We were almost everything
It was by a hair's breadth
