Aparências

How many years already lived, relived, simply for living
How many mistakes made so many times, repeated by both of us
How many tears felt and cried
Almost always in secret, so neither of us would know
How many doubts left in the moment, to be resolved later

How many times we pretended joy, without the heart smiling
How many times we lay side by side, just to sleep
How many phrases were said with words
Worn out by time, for not having anything to say
How many times we said I love you
To try to survive

Appearances, nothing more
Sustained our lives
Which, despite being poorly lived, still have
A hope of being able to live
Perhaps by searching for these lies
And seeing where the truth hid
Maybe there is still a chance to bring together
You, love, and me
