Ja Era Fort
Manel
I Was Strong Then
Back then I was strong and never lost my cool
I had fun and learned how to greet you
Happy and showing off the brightest of smiles
Touching you like the strong do: The beings that can't be hurt
Don't cry, kid, I won't know what to say
Don't cry, kid, you're way cuter when you laugh
Back then I was strong and I had a way with words
I built perfect worlds where I didn't care
Who you slept with last night or what you'll do tomorrow afternoon
I don't think about some nights
That you're too much like the one I seek for me
Who dares to feel protected
By the palms of cold, dead hands?
And the day came, the one I was waiting for with all my might
Those who came today can leave tomorrow too
I didn't need a single tear, nor to light candles for any angel
Back then I was strong, and a strong one shouldn't have to chase you
Or do you not agree with me?
Who wants a sad story to fall asleep to?
