Cinque giorni che ti ho perso 00:14
Quanto freddo in questa vita 00:17
Ma tu 00:21
Non mi hai cercato più 00:22
Troppa gente che mi chiede 00:26
Scava dentro la ferita 00:31
E in me 00:34
Non cicatrizzi mai 00:36
Faccio male anche a un amico 00:40
Che ogni sera è qui 00:44
Gli ho giurato di ascoltarlo 00:48
Ma tradisco lui e me 00:51
Perché quando tu sei ferito non sai mai 00:55
Oh mai 00:59
Se conviene più guarire 01:02
O affondare giù 01:04
Per sempre 01:08
Amore mio come farò a rassegnarmi a vivere 01:11
E proprio io che ti amo ti sto implorando 01:24
Aiutami a distruggerti 01:32
Cinque giorni che ti ho perso 01:39
Mille lacrime cadute 01:42
Ed io 01:46
Inchiodato a te 01:47
Tutto e ancora più di tutto 01:51
Per cercare di scappare 01:57
Ho provato a disprezzarti 01:59
A tradirti a farmi male 02:02
Perché quando tu stai annegando non sai mai 02:06
Oh mai 02:11
Se conviene farsi forza 02:13
O lasciarsi andare giù 02:16
Nel mare 02:19
Amore mio come farò a rassegnarmi a vivere 02:23
E proprio io che ti amo ti sto implorando 02:35
Aiutami a distruggerti 02:43
Se un giorno tornerò nei tuoi pensieri 02:50
Mi dici tu chi ti perdonerà 02:56
Di esserti dimenticata ieri 03:03
Quando bastava stringersi di più 03:11
Parlare un po' 03:17
E proprio io che ti amo ti sto implorando 03:39
Aiutami a distruggerti. 03:48
04:01

[English]
Five days since I lost you
How cold this life feels
But you
Never looked for me again
Too many people ask me
Digging into the wounds
And inside me
They'll never heal
I hurt even a friend
Who’s here every evening
I promised him I’d listen
But I betray him and myself
Because when you're hurt, you never know
Oh, never
If it’s better to heal
Or to sink down deep
Forever
My love, how can I accept living
And I, who love you, am begging
Help me destroy you
Five days since I lost you
A thousand tears fallen
And I
Pinned to you
Everything, and more than everything
To try to run away
I tried to despise you
To betray you, to hurt myself
Because when you’re drowning, you never know
Oh, never
If it's better to be strong
Or to let yourself go down
Into the sea
My love, how can I accept living
And I, who love you, am begging
Help me destroy you
If one day I return to your thoughts
Tell me, who will forgive you
For forgetting you yesterday
When all it took was to hold tighter
To talk a little
And I, who love you, am begging
Help me destroy you
...
