I wanted to reach the sky
I turned into an angel, shouting loud
I broke my wings to the wind
How could I not know
That there’s no good
That lasts forever in love
Nor reason that can withstand
What I saw face to face with the Sun
And how your bright lips in the night shine
Remind me I’m a prisoner
How could I not know
That from a distance
Love grows stronger
That farther away feels closer
What I wanted to end
By the start of your love
And so begin
Carrying an ending on my back
How could I not know
About the steps I
Always knew to take
And fall, and fall
I who stole a heart
And left mine chained in a trunk
That I find hard to climb
How could I not say
A little less to keep your love
And take your silence with me
I who can only find
In the memory of my heart the peace
And its countless memories
How could I not explode
Stand my ground and fight
Until the end
And die a slow burn
I who knew the taste
Of your lips
I can’t feel anymore
Without climbing to the sky
I who couldn’t live
Without knowing that someday I’ll fly up
Until the end, until the end
