Per Amore

I know your path
Every step you'll take
Your anxieties closed and empty
Rocks you'll push away
Without ever thinking that
Like a rock, I return to you

I know your breaths
Everything you don't want
You know well that you don't live
You can't recognize it
And it would be as if
This sky in flames
Fell back into me
Like a scene on an actor

For love
Have you ever done anything just
For love?
Have you challenged the wind and never shouted?
Divided the very heart?
Paid and bet again?
Behind this mania
That remains only mine

For love
Have you ever run out of breath?
For love
Lost and started over?
And you have to say it now
How much of yourself you put in
How much you believed
In this lie

And it would be as if
This river in flood
Rose back to me
Like leaning to its painter

For love
Have you ever spent everything, even reason
Your pride to the point of crying?
You know tonight you're left
No, not any excuse
Just a mania
That remains strong and mine
Inside this soul that you tear away

And I tell you now
Sincere with myself
How much it costs me not to have you mine
And it would be as if
All this sea
Drowned in me
