Invece No

Maybe it was enough to breathe
Just take a little breath
Until it recovers with every beat
And don't look for the moment
To go away
Don't go away

Why it can't be a habit
December without you
Who's staying here?
Hope the impossible

Instead no
There is no more time to explain
To ask if I had given you love
I am here
And I would have more to say
Still

Why do they break between your teeth?
The most important things
Those words we never dare
And I take a dive into the pain
To make them go back up and bring them back here
One by one here

Do you hear them?
They weigh and settle
Forever upon us
And if you are missing
I don't know how to repeat them
I can't tell her anymore

Instead no
Memories rain down here
And I would do more
To admit that it's late
How I wish I could talk
Again again

Instead, no, I don't have
More time to explain
That I had too
I have something to hope for
In front of me
Something to finish together with you

Maybe I just need to breathe
Just take a little breath
Maybe it's too late
Maybe not instead
