Al Borde

On the edge of failure, one step away from your love
Time is passing by, coming from the sky,
like a sundial.
So far from life, so close to your voice
leaning on my knees, filling me with splinters,
of desperation

Because I want to untie myself from all my troubles,
disappearing my foolish heart,
I must convince myself not to love you so much
I want to take off from this earth towards the sun.
I must contain the empty space,
it cannot be filled with things that are not,
I must convince myself not to love you so much.
On the edge of failure, one step away from your love.

I wish you would light up, my light inside you.
Like a fire in the wind, burning me from within,
I can do it.
If I can convince you, if I become better,
let's be like brothers, like winged angels,
in search of their God.

For I don't want to pretend that I'm slowly fading away,
I have to express what I carry inside.
My world is collapsing pushed by yours,
on the edge of failure and so far from your voice.
I want you to force me not to love you so much,
closing my eyes when you reach the sun.
I can't be living on so many illusions,
on the edge of failure, and one step away from your love.
