A Noi Non Serve Far L'amore

I found your diary hidden among a thousand papers
And even knowing it's wrong
I flipped through it with one hand and read everything out loud

It's written in black and white, not even a hint of color
And I saw you wrote about crying
But outside the margins, so it feels less valuable

And you say we don't need the elevator
To be close while making love
Or to fight on the stairs
To echo our words

And you write that you don't need confirmation
That you don't need the stars
Because in the pitch black
With no reference points, you'd trust blindly

But you leave (la-la-la-la)
It bothers me because I know you're right (la-la-la-la)
And your friends now call me an idiot, come on (la-la-la-la)
There's still your pizza in the freezer (la-la-la-la)
Yeah, I cheated on you, cheated for love (la-la-la-la)

And there's something strange
In the air tonight like in August in Milan
The same silence that's here above the couch
Everything's still just like you left it
Your makeup scattered in the bathroom

And now that I'm outside your place with my hands empty
It's just me, two cats, and the doorman left
I feel like a station without a kiss
A song without a radio
And sometimes I still sleep on your side

And you say we don't need to make love (but why, why)
To be close in the elevator
Because we can't stand each other anymore
We've run out of words

And you write that now you need confirmation
That the stars aren't enough for you

Because in this pitch black
With no reference points
You can't trust blindly

And you leave (la-la-la-la)
It bothers me because I know you're right (la-la-la-la)
And your friends now call me an idiot, come on (la-la-la-la)
There's still your pizza in the freezer (la-la-la-la)

Yeah, I cheated on you, yeah, I cheated on you
And look at me
Don't go away, come on, look at me
I'm talking to you but you don't want to listen

It'll hurt but look at me, look at me
If you leave, count the steps and then shoot me
I'm talking to you but you don't want to know
Because I cheated on you
Cheated for love
