Sguardi non detti

Twenty years have gone, but you never fade,

Your face in my dreams, the echo you made.

You gave me two books, left me in the grey,

I saw love in that moment — or did I just stray?

Maybe I loved an idea, or just the sound

Of the silence you left, still circling around.

But every night, you come back like a flame,

You're the part of myself I could never tame.

(Chorus)

I never really had you,

But you stayed inside me like a sacred wound.

Every step that I take, every face that I see,

It's your eyes that still whisper:

"Why didn’t you follow me?"

I don’t know if I made you up, or if you were real,

But something about you I still deeply feel.

I don't want to run now, don’t want to pretend,

That forgetting is the way this should end.

(Bridge)

And I wonder sometimes,

If you ever felt it too —

That invisible thread

That never broke through...

(Final Chorus)

I never really had you,

But you stayed inside me like a sacred wound.

Every step that I take, every face that I see,

It's your eyes that still whisper:

"Why didn’t you follow me?"

(Outro - whispered)

Maybe I truly loved you.

Maybe… you still love me too.
