Love x3

Don't you know my heart swaying in the spring wind?
You keep stealing that heart
Don't you see me, again behind you?
Love you, Love you say alright
 
I missing you, only thoughts of you in the spring wind
I believe you, then, then, when you were looking at me
 
Love Love Love, with your voice
Talk Talk Talk, whisper to me
Your sweet voice~
 
Fall in, Fall in, Fall in
Love you, Love you
Fall in, Fall in, Love you
 
I keep seeing you, but why do you keep pushing me away?
Love you, Love you say alright
 

He made a premiere in the stars

The angels closed in around the first table tonight,
They too wanted to hear this new artist....
 
For lovers who had lost, he wrote on his paper,
the words he sang came out of his soul...
 
It went into the heart of every kind of person
Everyone's problem made it his own ...
 
Songs about their pain, he put put a garnish,
because even in Heaven, they enjoy a capsule ...
 
(With) a heavy Zeimpekiko, he is dancing to Charonas
and with our hands open, he see us from above
For him and the Lord will not be on the board tonight,
Angels were jealous and they wanted Pantelidis ...
 
His mother said to him, 'turn back my child ,'
he said: 'I can't mum, i feel sorry for the Angels' ...
 
Two words I have to say, handsome to death,
I want to play songs I like too ...
 
That's how tonight, Pantelis, made his premiere
and the stars in the sky, the night they made day...
 
One guitar, two strings give to him, the boss,
They have to sing for them, you're up there forever
 
(With) a heavy Zeimpekiko, he is dancing to Charonas
and with our hands open, he see us from above
For him and the Lord will not be on the board tonight,
Angels were jealous and they wanted Pantelidis ...
 
Without you, the months have passed, and yet, I still can't figure out how you end up in the ground
 

No One Will Be In The House...

No one will be in the house -
Only twilight's random shapes.
Wintry day will calmly browse
Through half-open window drapes.
 
Only fleeting mossy flicker
Of the falling wet white clumps,
Only roofs and snow the tricker,
And except them there're no humps.
 
And again the hoarfrost drawings,
And again the last year's gloom
Will arouse my somber longings
For the other winter bloom.
 
And again they'll spark my heartache
With yet unforgiven guilt,
Lack of firewood at daybreak'll
Squeeze the cross of window sill.
 
But, completely unexpected,
Drapes will shake from anxious doubt, -
You will enter, unsuspected,
Like the Future's silent sprout.
 
In the doorway you'll appear,
Wearing simply something white,
Just like white cloth, cold, austere,
From which snowflakes're sewn in flight.

The song of Asterix

'A united Gaul shall never be defeated'
 
The Gauls and the romans, are fighting without a Caesar
With the members of a small tribe, living by the sea
it was the village of Asterix, Panoramix and Obelix
And also of Vitalstatistix, and Assurancetourix (1)
(turix turix turix turix turix turix)
 
(REF)
The gauls are very strong, and are so brave
Romans that they catch, sometimes leave without teeth
The village druid prepares with firm hand
The invincible formula that his potion contains
 
The romans used latin to talk to the Gauls
And the surprised Gauls didn't know what to answer
ONly clever Asterix, learned little by little
And the strongman OBelix finished with
'orum, orum, orum, orum, orum, orum'
 
(REF)
The gauls are very strong, and are so brave
Romans that they catch, sometimes leave without teeth
The village druid prepares with firm hand
The invincible formula that his potion contains
 
(REF to fade)
 
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. (Prov 25:3 KJV)

The arsenic cake (italian version)

Into a great cauldron
I put claws of a scorpion
And add with pleasure
A good glass of oil
(Oh, I'll better put two..)
 
Sublimated in quantity (1)
Half a measure of cyanide
Strychnine, but that's not all
- And curare to go crazy!
- No!
- Ah!
 
Of narcotics we all know
We all use it here and there
Vitriol, as much as you can
And arsenic if you like
(However, it's better to add lots of it!)
 
Red peppers in abundance
Some blood of a street mutt
Fried worms with maraschino (2)
- And a little quint of salt!
- No!
- Ah!
 
Then dead mice, a basket full
And much cobra venom
And to complete the trick
Add the juice of an orange
(No! Oranges contain vitamins!)
 
Amongst confetti of hemlock
We'll add so much claviceps (3)
And - I'm tired of it - Ohibó!
- Another drop of vitriol!
- No.. Oh, oh yes!
- Aah, I could have sworn it was necessary!
 
Here the cake we have prepared
And will bring her as a gift
ANd whoever will eat it
Will die for sure!
DIIIIIIIIIIIE - FOOOOOOR - SUUUUUUURE !
 
Balullilulallalà !
Yeees !
 
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. (Prov 25:3 KJV)

The bath of Cleopatra

The bath for Cleopatra ! (3x)
 
'Tis the bath for Cleopatra
Bathwater crystal clear and fragrant
For to bathe her alabaster body
We'll pour amphoras full of milk
 
The soap for Cleopatra ! (3x)
 
Cleopatra, our sovereign
Of your beauty we all know
And for you, o Queen of Queens
We'll present the soap
 
La la la la la la la la
 
The lion of Cleopatra ! (3x)
 
'Tis the lion of Cleopatra
He's the King of animals
Valiant like four of his kind
But in spirit, a real zero! What ?
 
La la la la la la la la
 
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. (Prov 25:3 KJV)

My star

I'm madly jealous, my pulse raises to thousands
When you cause a scene with your feminine glance
And just like that, suddenly you're leaving me, you're shutting the doors and phones
Before you become past, I have to tell you
 
My star, I like you, I love you, you're my other half
But I get jealous and I burst out, I make mistakes that I hate
My star, I like you, I love you, you're my other half
My star, I'm asking four your forgiveness, stay here forever
 
I have a bad moment, I lose my mind and I rush into things
I say words that you don't want to hear, I burn the nice images
And just like that, suddenly I lose you and I reach the bottom
I'm apologizing and I'm running to tell you
 
My star, I like you, I love you, you're my other half
But I get jealous and I burst out, I make mistakes that I hate
My star, I like you, I love you, you're my other half
My star, I'm asking four your forgiveness, stay here forever
 

What should you have done

I guess I've never been the one
who has spoken up
Instead I've stood there
and stared like a moron
Clenched my fist hard in my pocket
Hit my head on a wall
No, show no mercy
Crack me like an egg
 
Well, what should you have done?
Should I have slapped her in the face and...
What should you have done?
Should I have asked her to get out and...
What should you have done?
Should I have trampled her tail and...
What should you have done?
Should I just have left?
 
To say thanks and receive
the same year after year
To not have any character
Such things leave a mark
 
Well, what should you have done?
Should I have slapped her in the face and...
What should you have done?
Should I have asked her to get out and...
What should you have done?
Should I have trampled her tail and...
What should you have done?
Should I just have left?
 
Well, what should you have done?

I write with a crayon

I write with a crayon
that I love you with the deepest love.
I write with a scribe
and I want go on line by line.
I write with a penholder,
so that your pulse has a reason to throb under the fabric.
I write with my little finger,
that I'd like to be your golden nightingale.
 
Remember hundred times,
what I can write to you with a marker,
that I'm not wasting my time,
I'm writing in capital letters
on the poster - I love you.
 
I am a daring man,
I write that I want to own your palm.
I write on the ledges,
that I would love to touch your skin.
 
I may write even blindfold
on the walls of schools and bars.
Then I would manage
to write all over the concrete of motorways
and overwrite it with my I love you's.
 
Despite your unconcern,
I write on the rain falling down on this land on and on.
On the saucer
I write that I've gladly become a writer.
 
And that I'm forever yours
I'll pledge with my signature.
With this huge idea
I would overwrite even Matterhorn.
I love you - Jirka Korn.
 

Roller Coaster

I remember very first time in love
I remember oh oh
I remember oh oh
Do you feel the same way? So I’m in love
I remember oh oh
I remember oh
Oh my, am I allowed to feel like this?
Because of you, every day is so nice
 
Though it seems like I’m rushing it baby
I need your love oh oh
I need your love oh oh oh
 
My heart drops, so sweetly
Sometimes, I worry that I’ll get hurt
I won’t be able to know everything from the start
But I want to give it a shot
 
Such a breathtaking feeling
A dangerous feeling
Hold tight to my hand, I want you
So I won’t shake, with more passion
Hug me tighter
 
You’re a roller coaster ooh ahh
Roller coaster uh woh ahh
I need your love ooh ahh
Baby your love uh woh ahh
 
When you stare at me, my heart trembles
I try to act like I’m not, but it’s obvious
Even though I don’t say it, you already know
You feel the same way as me
 
I wonder if this is too fast
But because of you, each day feels so new
 
Even if I’m rushing it, close your eyes baby
I need your love oh oh
I need your love oh oh oh
 
Like time has stopped, so sweet
Sometimes, I worry that you’ll leave me
I won’t be able to know everything from the start
But I want to give it a shot
 
Such a breathtaking feeling
A dangerous feeling
Hold tight to my hand, I want you
So I won’t shake, with more passion
Hug me tighter
 
You’re a roller coaster ooh ahh
Roller coaster uh woh ahh
I need your love ooh ahh
Baby your love uh woh ahh
 
My love, you found me
I love you I love you
I hope this isn’t just a dream
I love you I love you
 
Look
 
You’re a roller coaster ooh ahh

I need your love ooh ahh

Baby your love uh woh ahh
 
Roller coaster
Roller coaster
 
Don't forget to press thanks
Thank You ❤️

Do you care

Will you hold me* when I ask you?
Will you hold me or hold back again
Yeaha
Yaah ayy ayy
I have lifted every stone
I have tried again
I have searched** all corners but,
Not found it
Not found him
Destroyed it for myself
Beat my hope to death
I need more than a bit of luck
I need help
To find him
But when I find you
Are you giving yourself to me?
 
Will you care about me, when I ask you?
Will you hold me or hold back again
Will you care about me, when you see me?
Will you hold me or again, again
Mm mmm
 
Rarely search for advice and help
Often managing by myself
But trying now to stand again
Where should I go?
Where will I find him?
But I have lifted every stone
I have tried again
I have searched** all corners but,
Did not find that who loved me
 
But when I find you
Are you giving yourself to me
Will you care about me, when I ask you?
Will you hold me or hold back again
Will you care about me, when you see me?
Will you hold me or again, again
 
Do you care?
Do you care?
Again, again

Monastery of La Rabida

From the deep, I exclaim to thee Lord
Lord, listen to my voice
And He shall redeem Irsrael
For ever and ever
 
[Interlude]
 
From the deep, I exclaim to thee Lord
For ever and ever
 

Oh, What a Life

Some have money in their pocket,
buy something for themselves and are happy for a while
Then we have those who think of girls
and if there is going to be anything today
I know people who always go to school
They read and learn something new every day
I rather go out in the sun
and look at flowers and leaves
 
Oh, what a life
So little time
Can someone tell me what to do?^
Oh, what a life
How is it going to turn out?
I want to be happy when I die
 
I have a friend who runs at meetings
But what should she think and what should she believe?
Then I know one who hangs out in the park
He doesn't know where to live
 
Oh, what a life
So little time
Can someone tell me what to do?^
Oh, what a life
How is it going to turn out?
I want to be happy when I die
 
I fly up among the clouds,
out in the black holes of space
Can I see the ones who have lived
and known how everything is going to turn out?
 
Some wake up at night
and think for a while about what they have done
Some take a few pills
and then go back to sleep quite quickly
 
Oh, what a life
So little time
Can someone tell me what to do?^
Oh, what a life
How is it going to turn out?
I want to be happy when I die
 
Oh, what a life
Oh, what a life
Oh, what a life
How is it going to turn out?
I want to be happy when I,
happy when I,
happy when I die
 

Spaceman

[(Three, two, one, fire!)]
 
Look, I'm flying again, going through the wall
I'm going today, we'll see it, I'm a spaceman
(Ha-ha)
And it's no use to wait me back home
Before galaxies are shattered
 
Look, I'm flying again, going through the wall
Hey baby, can you imagine that he's a spaceman?
And today galaxies are shattered-red-red-red
And today galaxies are shattered (shattered)
 
Are you a sheep or a lion?
Would you just lie in the dark underneath a blanket?
That doesn't work, your damsel doesn't promise
Let's make the blanket sway
Evenly lethal pace
Many would rather escape
We have time for only this evening, it's not rocket science
 
I'm a great choice
If you wish to get off of Earth's surface
Where the asphalts don't go
Baby, take a spaceman
 
But a wild soul doesn't get along with old wanton women
I've always been more of a spaceman
 
[Refrain]
 
I'm leaving today, see ya
Just as a joke to stir things up a little
When the flame isn't dying down
Born to move and make others get moved
You can't get it with money
Attitude from cradle to coffin
Somewhere there in the Milkyway (our) sense is running away
 
Ray-Bans deep in the head, deep-frozen
You can forget this bowling alley, go away
A wild soul doesn't get along with old wanton women
I've always been more of a spaceman
 
[REFRAIN]
 
(He's a spaceman) 2x
 
Don't say anything, I will tame this
Don't say anything, baby, he's a spaceman (2x)
 
He's a spaceman

Outlander

Nobody said
That I could
Or directed me
No bridge or guidance
Could make some wind blow
I came in the windstorm
 
I can't explain
How I got here
I didn't plan
Such an opposite glance
That saved me
From monotony
 
An outlander
I wait for me to say yes
Till I find
A spark of an ending
Then I'll start over
Life gets brighter
 
I won't deny everything
And my love will undress me
If needed
In every pain
Another melody
 
An outlander
I wait for me to say yes
Till I find
A spark of an ending
Then I'll start over
Life gets brighter

Mincinoase, Mincinoase (Monarhia Deșertului)

Oare te-ai ruga dacă ai spune că ai muri?
Puțin mai puternic ai fi
Sau ai cădea în genunchi oare?
Ai sta alături de mine
Dacă ai ști că aș minți?
Oare ai pleca
Sau ai întoarce alt obraz?
 
Cutremur unde stau
Dorința mea este porunca ta
Firea unei inimi disperate cu adevărat
Dă-mi ceva ce e adevărat
Ce pot simți aievea
Mincinosule, mincinosule pe perete
 
Șoptește, șoptește în întuneric
Spune-mi ceea ce vezi
Otrăvit prin poezia ta pustită de muște
Mincinosule, mincinosule pe perete
Dă-mi lumea mie
Un deșert sau o monarhie
Mincinosule, mincinosule
Spune-mi ceea ce vezi
 
Acum sunt aici și durerea îmi este însoțitorul
Acum știu că n-a fost intenționat să se vindece, rana
Este mult prea adâncă
Fără mai mulți ani ai sângerării pentru sacrificiu
Sunt stăpânul războiului înlăuntrul meu
 
Dar încă cutremur unde stau
Dorința mea este porunca ta
Tânjirea unui suflet nedescoperit
Dă-mi ceva ce e adevărat
Să pot simți aievea
Mincinosule, mincinosule pe perete
 
Șoptește, șoptește în întuneric
Spune-mi ceea ce vezi
Otrăvit prin poezia ta pustită de muște
Mincinosule, mincinosule pe perete
Dă-mi lumea mie
Un deșert sau o monarhie
Mincinosule, mincinosule
Spune-mi ceea ce vezi
 
Strălucesc când soare este apus
Și port coroana aceasta grea
Nu voi compromite
Dezlănțuiește-mă
Ceea ce căutăm
Mincinosule, mincinosule pe perete
 
Oglindă, oglindă în întuneric
Nouă să ne zici ce căutăm
Pe noi să ne faci să-l vedem adevărul
Mincinosule, mincinosule pe perete
 
Șoptește, șoptește în întuneric
Spune-mi ceea ce vezi
Otrăvit prin poezia ta pustită de muște
Mincinosule, mincinosule pe perete
Dă-mi lumea mie
Un deșert sau o monarhie
Mincinosule, mincinosule
Spune-mi ceea ce vezi
 

Just You I Desire, My Blessing...

Just you I desire, my blessing,
My beauty, this Earth never knew!
My sun in the darkness distressing,
For my burning heart you are dew!
 
Inspired by my love to you, I
Shall scramble to fight fate anew.
Like spica half-scorched by the lightning,
I'll bow into dust before you.
 
For ecstasy never acquitted,
I'll pay with my life for miscue!
And even if crime I've committed -
I want only you!

Nunnery of Santa Chiara

Tomorrow? But I'd like to go this evening!
So far, no, I can't endure anymore!
They say that only the sea is remained
And it's the same like before, the blue sea.
 
Nunnery of Santa Chiara,
In my heart there's a darkness.
But why, why every evening
Do I think of Naples: what's happened with it?
Do I think of Naples: what's it now?
 
Fountain of Capodimonte,
My heart is breaking
When I hear from the people
That has become terrible
My land, but why?
 
No, it's not true!
No, I don't believe it!
I die of the wish to coming back to Naples
But what shall I do?
I'm afraid of coming back there.
 
Fear?.. Yes... If is it true?
If the people had told the truth?
All wealth of Naples was the heartiness
But they say that it's lost also.
 
Nunnery of Santa Chiara,
Inside the four walls are closed
How many sincere women
That renounced the love
And became brides of Jesus.
 
Fountain of Capodimonte,
Now, if they lose a lover
In a moment they find hundreds more
Because, as people say,
There's no innocent woman anymore.
 
No, it's not true!
No, I don't believe it!
I die of the wish to coming back to Naples
But what shall I do?
I'm afraid of coming back there.
 
Nunnery of Santa Chiara,
In my heart there's a darkness.
But why, why every evening
Do I think of Naples: what's happened with it?
Do I think of Naples: what's it now?

the Migrant

His words is the voice,
the loud voice saying he is not hurting,
snows and rain,
his gaze blurred and closed skies.
 
At foreign lands, the shadows oppress him
a few olive trees, black bread,
snows and waters
and lost joy weave the complaint.
 
My mother,black headdress,
a door opened to the sun,
keep the mint on your lips,
tomorrow a feast will come
 
I'll come to the summer, the harvest,
the threshing floor full of dazzling light again,
I am constantly about to leave,
with emptied hands.
 
Prosperity is a liar,
he hadn't been told so, and his sorrow is a shame,
Back in the old times,
tears and kisses, birds are singing.
 
The cypress being beaten by the wind,
at the father's rock, fire,
cure the wound, the time longing
and the heart is awaiting
 
My mother,black headdress,
a door opened to the sun,
keep the mint on your lips,
tomorrow a feast will come
 
I'll come to the summer, the harvest,
the threshing floor full of dazzling light again,
I am constantly about to leave,
with emptied hands.
 

You Made Me Get Used To It

You made me get used
To all of those things
And you showed me
That they are wonderful
 
[Natalia Lafourcade]
Subtly, you were like a temptation when you came into my life,
Filling my heart with restlessness
 
[Omara Portuondo & Natalia Lafourcade]
It was inconceivable to me how love would work
Inside your strange world, and because of you I learned how.
 
Now that I see that you have forgotten me, I ask myself
Why you did not teach me how to live without you
 
[IMusical interlude]
 
Now that I see that you have forgotten me, I ask myself
Why you did not teach me how to live without you
Now that I see that you have forgotten me, I ask myself
Why you did not teach me how to live without you
Now that I see that you have forgotten me, I ask myself
Why you did not teach me how to live without you
 

There Is The Silly Elation

There's the silly elation,
The garden the windows look on!
Soundless sunset reflection
Swims in the pool, like a swan.
 
Greetings, golden serenity,
Shadows of trees, black as tar!
Crows on the roof, in sincerity,
Hold vespers in praise of the star.
 
Timidly, over the garden
Where the guelder-rose springs,
A girl in a snow-white garment
A beautiful melody sings.
 
Like a blue gown, the evening
Cold from the meadow sweeps...
Happiness, sweet silly feeling!
Virginal blush of the cheeks!
 

The anti-Ecclesiastes (nothing is vanity)

Neither good nor bad weather
nor the scents of the ocean
nor the wind on a wheat field,
nothing is vanity.
Neither the warm skin of a lover
nor the glint of the setting sun
nor the touch of fresh wine,
nothing is vanity (x2)
 
Neither the secrets of the skies
nor the unruly atoms
nor the saffrons in the meadows1,
nothing is vanity.
Neitheir the anxiety of a child
nor the smile of a passer-by
nor the smell of a stranger,
nothing is vanity (x2)
 
Neither the whisper nor the song,
nor the old mistery of time,
nor the rest nor the danger,
nothing is vanity.
Neither the fear of the last moment
nor the appeal of nothingness,
nor the love of eternity,
nothing is vanity.
 
Nothing, but the adverted gaze,
arrogance and cruelty,
and the bitter jadedness,
nothing is vanity.
Nothing, but the death of beauty,
and the theft of truth,
and hate and vanity,
nothing is vanity (x2)

The cruise on the corridor

Close your eyes
and softly lean
on the banister
 
Let your bodies
get dizzy like a feather in the wind
It is such a night
such a crazy evening
when stars are shining
along with the heart
and somewhere across the sea
there is the island
with corals
and a golden sand
And how the wind
can be so elusive as an eel
which brings today
such a Chimera
again into the light
 
Close your eyes
and softly lean
on the banister
 
Let the time
to make up new lies
 
and we do not care anymore
since the night has stolen our paddles
close your eyes
and give to your dream
crazy kisses.
 

Zile şi nopţi pierdute

Zile şi nopţi irosite
am lăsat în urmă pentru tine
cum tu nu-mi mai aparţii
iar inima ta e a altcuiva...
 
De ce te-aş mai iubi
când eu ştiu că m-ai minţit
şi de ce ţi-aş striga numele
când tu eşti de vină
că m-ai întristat?
 
Nu-ţi aminteşti zilele
când tu ai plecat şi m-ai lăsat?
Eram aşa singur
mă rugam doar pentru tine,
dragostea mea...

The Person I Love

Living day by day
It’s so hard
When only you’re not here
When only you’re not here
I’m crying again today
 
The person I love is you
The person who hurts me is you
If I can see you as much as I love you
I would see you every day
 
I try to erase you
But it’s not as easy as I thought
I can’t see you ever again
I can’t see you ever again
I’m lost and crying alone again
 
The person I love is you
The person who hurts me is you
If I can see you as much as I love you
I would see you every day
 
I can’t go a single day without you
Because you’re my everything
 
The person I love is you
The person who hurts me is you
If I can see you as much as I love you
I would see you every day
Every day, I call out to you
 

It’s Okay Even If It’s Not Me

I do not care if you do not mind.
I will always keep you by your side.
I do not care who I am
I look like you smile brightly I like it
I just want to keep it happy.
I just laugh with you if you just laugh
I am not even a man who makes you happy
If it’s not me.
 
I do not care if you can ring me
I look like you smile brightly I like it
 
I just want to keep you happy.
I’m just happy if you’re happy.
I am not even a man who makes you happy
If it’s not me.
It’s all a lie.
 
I want to be with you always.
Even if we are away for awhile,
Not if I’m the one who makes you happy
Not me, not me, not me
 

The Tree

If you are by my side
If I can touch you with my hand
I’m not afraid of anything
If only if I can stay by your side
 
I know, it’ll be very hard
Sometimes, I will cry
But the scars in my heart, I will keep to myself
Just smile brightly for me like the moonlight
 
I’ll become a tree
Always protecting you
When things are hard, lean on me
So you can take a break
I’ll wait for you right here
 
Until you come to me
Whenever that is
Even if it rains and the strong wind blows
Even if the seasons change and everything is different
I’ll be in the same place
 
I’ll become a tree
Always protecting you
When things are hard, lean on me
So you can take a break
I’ll wait for you right here
Like a tree
 
Even if you’re not here, I’m alright
Even if my heart aches by myself
I will protect this love
 
I’ll become a tree
Always protecting you
When things are hard, lean on me
So you can take a break
I’ll wait for you right here
Like a tree
 

I’m OK

Even though I couldn’t see
I could feel it
The farewell behind your hidden face
Blankly, from far away
Getting into you
I can’t even have that sadness anymore
 
I had foolish thoughts
Because I thought you would come to me some day
 
I’m alright, I’m really alright
I try telling myself it doesn’t hurt
I try to smile but I can’t
Maybe I love you a lot more than I thought
For you, who I love, more than my sadness
I had to smile
 
You told me I’ll forget you in a moment
I knew that wasn’t true but I let you go anyway
 
I’m alright, I’m really alright
I try telling myself it doesn’t hurt
I try to smile but I can’t
Actually, I love you a lot more than I thought
For you, who is turning around
I had to cry alone
 
Actually, I lied to you
You know this too, I’m not alright
You know my heart
Don’t pretend you don’t know
You can’t just turn around
 
“I’ll come back, don’t hurt
It was love”
Anything you say is alright
Actually, I know you will hurt a lot more than me
You, who said a love without pain isn’t love
I loved you
 

COULDN’T CRY BECAUSE I’M A MAN

I’m quietly looking at you
At your turned back
My hands reach out to hold onto you
But my feet are frozen
 
My misery holds onto my ankles
My eyes on you are shouting out
 
Don’t stop, I might catch you
I’m not letting you go because I hate you
I can live well without you
So don’t look back
Before I change my mind
 
My cowardice hides my tears
My greed for you is shouting out
 
Don’t stop, I might catch you
I’m not letting you go because I hate you
I can live well without you
So don’t look back
Before I change my mind
 
I couldn’t catch you because I’m a man
Like a pretentious boy
Who thinks this is the best for you
 
Don’t cry if you loved me
I’m alright, if this was love
I’ll ignore you, pretend that I forgot you
So hurry and leave
I couldn’t cry because I’m a man
