IF THIS IS LIFE
If this is life, where is everyone running to
you said you looked for happiness
and paid slightly dearly
you'll never grow up
you're a confused child
I love the bristles on your face
the freedom in your eyes.
Now you found love that doesn't burn
I know how to fondle, I'm not bending down,
it seems to me that you're no longer in suspense
not scared and not running away.
Going away to forget, proud to run away,
to fear forcefully
the moon is in the window behind
when you were silent you were a hero.
If this is life, we'll live
see me, you became alike (to me).
I love when evening comes
to feel sorrow together
and that each very day you forgot
to promise me what you promised her
and she's greater than me, than us,
if only it was just the two of us
Going away to forget, proud to run away,
to fear forcefully
the moon is in the window behind
when you were silent you were a hero.
If this is life
If this is life
If this is life
