É... Se Tu Soubesse

You talk as if you only made mistakes
But I also kept quiet, I also stood aside
I saw your eyes silently pleading for help
Even though I understood, I pretended to be in the know

How many times have I wanted to say: I'm getting tired
But the fear of hurting you was killing me
I stayed, even when you pushed me away
But each of your walls was a part that broke me

If you had said that it hurt to live like this
Would I have the courage to leave or stay until the end?
Maybe I should have held your hand longer
Or maybe he would have gone earlier, so he wouldn't end up in prison

You weren't the only one who got lost on that road
I, too, bled behind every unspoken word
If love wasn't enough, it wasn't for lack of feeling
It's just that we didn't know how to divide it

And even carrying your absence in my heart
I hold onto the certainty that it was true love
But love also makes mistakes in timing and manner
And sometimes it ends, leaving only a memory

You talk about chains, I remember hugging
To hold onto your chaos, trying not to let go
I wasn't perfect, nor did I always know how to listen
But I never stopped trying to share you

If today you think that it only ended
Remember that I also got lost within myself
And that silence that you thought was yours
I used to cut myself too, it was mine too

If you asked for forgiveness, I would listen
Not to go back, but to alleviate what's inside me
Because love that was real doesn't die in distance
He only learns to live in memory

If only you knew how much I fought for us
How much I tried to hide the fear that killed me
If you knew every tear that remained
Perhaps you would understand that I, too, only tried to love you

You no longer need to blame yourself alone
Neither I escaped unscathed, nor were you left without a destination
We were just two hearts trying to learn
Even in love, there's a risk of getting lost

If one day you hear this song and remember us
I hope you also feel the love that remains
And understand that despite the end, I wanted to stay
But sometimes loving also means letting go
