Non È Detto

And what were you expecting
To tell me what you had to say?
To risk nothing
You don't go to hell or even to the altar

And we're so distant
Enduring each other with politeness
There's no guilt
But everyone should take their own path

Forgive me for these days
I couldn't explain them
I had a new address
And a place to escape

And it's not certain that I'll always miss you
Things change suddenly
And certain corners of the night will never have light

And it's not certain that I feel nothing
If I keep my eyes on your absent gaze
And if I trust in the strength of a memory
Just in case

Take the umbrella
Let it be the shelter in the storm
If what I owe you
Is to have a heart in the right place

Forgive me for these days
I couldn't explain them
I have a train to the airport
And a flight in two hours

And it's not certain that I'll always miss you
Things change suddenly
And certain corners of the night will never have light

And it's not certain that I feel nothing
If I keep my eyes on your absent gaze
Because I trust in the strength of a memory
Just in case

And it's not said, and it's not said
And it's not said, and it's not said

But who said I feel nothing
What has been will remain important
Like the little hope we need and give ourselves
Forgive me for these days
I didn't know what to do
