É... Se Não Der?

Yes, if it doesn't work out
Was it still worth trying?

Having written verses for no one
Speaking of love even when shattered
I kept promises that no one made to me
I waited for glances that never came

I dreamed of arms that would save me
But in the end, only my own people held me up
I got lost in worlds I created
I tried to find peace in places that don't exist

I sang of my sorrows in silent songs
While the emptiness only grew more insistent
I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't recognize myself
That tired face that still insists on smiling

Inside, a sea of doubts and silences
But on the outside, a face that doesn't want to run away
What if that's all there is to it?
If no one comes
Is it possible to live like this?
With this emptiness that insists on having me

Yes, if it doesn't work out
If the love I want never finds me
If loneliness becomes my home
Am I still someone who should continue?

Yes, if it doesn't work out
If I'm just another person who feels too much
Is it really only in the end that
Will I still be able to?

I was taught to be strong
But they never showed me how to take care of it
I learned to keep quiet
But no one heard me cry

I wonder how many times I've failed
How many dreams did I leave behind along the way?
How many sleepless nights
I'm just wondering if it's still worth continuing to be alone

Does time heal or does it only erase?
Will I ever find my truth?
If love isn't enough, who will embrace me?
Will he ever accept me?

I ran away from myself for so long
But now I look inside and find fear
Fear of not being enough
Fear of never having a place in the world

I don't want to create anymore so I don't bleed
Not even smiling just to disguise it
If you're going to live alone
At least let it be real

Yes, if it doesn't work out
If it's just me until the end, so be it
Because today I no longer let myself fall

Yes, if it doesn't work out
I will continue even without a roof over my head
Even if the world seems cold
I will be
My own friend
