[English]
I don't understand how the subconscious
Still remembers the things I discarded
You're winning, but I will try
To somehow remember it
And I keep losing
All those games that
I swore that I
That I would never, never give in again
...
Ah, ha-ha
I must say that all this time
I have been avoiding this moment
It feels like it's fiction
It feels like you are fiction
I know, I am not enough
I've already forgotten how to deal with it
Let the show begin
Enjoy the show
...
I don't know what to do with these hands anymore
When I talk to you, I don't know what to do
You don't know where to look
So you look at my hands to free my eyes
I confess, in your dream
That I was watching you
While you slept, touching your face
But it's just another sign that I'm not doing well
...
Ah, ha-ha
I must say that all this time
I have been avoiding this moment
It feels like it's fiction
It feels like you are fiction
I know, I am not enough
I've already forgotten how to deal with it
Let the show begin
Enjoy the show
I must say that all this time
I have been avoiding this moment
It feels like it's fiction
It feels like you are fiction
I know, I am not enough
I've already forgotten how to deal with it
Let the show begin
Enjoy the show
