Lyrics & Translation
Life is a prison from which you can't save me
I've realized that people have a thousand shades
It's always the person you care about who lets you down
I know those like you who suffer in silence
They're the ones who cry inside
But the more you cry inside as time goes by
Sooner or later, tears will drown you
No one here thinks of me
Sorry if I'm not the one you wanted
The truth is, I often feel never enough
Today I feel worse than tomorrow but better than yesterday
You can change your future but not what you were
You can change me, but you can't change my thoughts
You can leave your scars like mine
But you'll never feel what I've been through because of the problems
You can change your life
You can change cities
But wherever we go, we'll always be out of place
We are fragments of a photo I've torn in half
The sky is the frame in a blurry memory
(Ah ah, ah ah)
No one will ever be able to save you from yourself
Day by day, the past devours me
I hope time erases my memory
A true artist destined to be unhappy
For all his life and to remain a lonely person
Anxiety is the epicenter
My problems eat me inside
But many still believe it's just a cliché
I could talk about money and drugs out of the ordinary
But in the end, what would you have left of me?
I'm flawed
Born from the factory with a brain defect
Often I don't recognize myself
What’s the point of going somewhere to change life?
Wherever I go, I always feel out of place
You won’t be able to do without what you hate
We lie to ourselves to feel better
We're meant to be invisible, already
We were born only to feel lonely
You can change your life
You can change cities
But wherever we go, we'll always be out of place
We are fragments of a photo I've torn in half
The sky is the frame in a blurry memory
(Ah ah, ah ah)
No one will ever be able to save you from yourself
