Amar É Se Perder

They told me that love was light, it was heaven
But no one told about the weight, the fall in the paper
Of the emptiness that remains when the other leaves
Of promises that disappear without saying: See you later
They taught me that love was supposed to be salvation
But I only felt chains and prison in my heart
I tried to be whole for someone who was half
And I fell apart, I lost myself, I became just longing

We swore it was forever, but we didn't measure how much it hurt
He turned tenderness into poison, and longing into agony
I gave myself body and soul, but you stole my calm
Made me believe in redemption, only to break my heart later

If love is healing, why did it make me sick?
If it was supposed to be a flame, why did it burn my mind?
What was left of me was just silence and pain
Love took everything, except resentment
And now I understand, even crying, that loving you was sinking me
May every dream be beautiful
It turned gray in the eyes

To love is to lose yourself in someone who doesn't stay
It is to give the world and receive a way out
It's smiling with your chest in ruins
It's dying slowly in a routine
To love is to give yourself without return
It is to turn to ash in a fire without contour
It is forgetting yourself trying to save
Who never really wanted to stay

To love is to lose yourself, when there is no more reason
It's erasing who I was, to fit in your hand
To love is to let myself die, smiling for having you
It's tearing my own chest open, to see you blossom

I've confused attachment with destiny
And I dressed myself in hope like a boy
But love has claws, and sometimes it bites
And you only understand when it's too late, when your soul explodes
I picked up the pieces, but I'm not the same anymore
What was sweet turned into terminal pain
And now I look at love with different eyes
No longer a dream, but of someone who has lost the ground

You knew how to bend me, with sweet words, false promises
You made my love your refuge, but you left my soul in ruins
I fought against myself, for us
I screamed silently, I silenced my voice, but no effort was enough
To hold on to someone who never loved me

If love were everything, why was I left with nothing?
If it was supposed to be a bridge, why did it turn into a broken road?
I was left alone, in myself, lost and without direction
Love took everything to my reason

To love is to lose yourself in someone who doesn't stay
It is to give the world and receive a way out
It's smiling with your chest in ruins
It's dying slowly in a routine
To love is to give yourself without return
It is to turn to ash in a fire without contour
It is forgetting yourself trying to save
Who never really wanted to stay

To love is to lose yourself, when there is no more reason
It's erasing who I was, to fit in your hand
To love is to let myself die, smiling for having you
It's tearing my own chest open, to see you blossom

Maybe one day I will love and not lose myself
Maybe one day someone will deserve me
But today, I understand: Love also destroys
And what was beautiful, also corrodes
If loving is hurting me, I prefer not to feel anymore
Keep the little that remains of what I once was within myself

To love is to lose yourself in someone who doesn't stay
It is to give the world and receive a way out
It's smiling with your chest in ruins
It's dying slowly in a routine
To love is to give yourself without return
It is to turn to ash in a fire without contour
It is forgetting yourself trying to save
Who never really wanted to stay

To love is to lose yourself, when there is no more reason
It's erasing who I was, to fit in your hand
To love is to let myself die, smiling for having you
It's tearing my own chest open, to see you blossom

To love is to lose yourself, sometimes forever
It's tearing the soul, it's a latent wound
But pain teaches, pain builds
Even when everything falls apart and hurts
To love is to lose yourself
But that's the only way we meet later
