The silence

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
​When I was young, I chose the wrong path,
I only looked ahead, I didn't understand what I was doing.
You were here, the only one who didn't leave me,
you took my hand and pulled me up from the mud.
[interlude]
You believed in me, I only gave you problems,
I stole the best years from you for my messes,
but you held on, against all odds.

(​Chorus)
​My youth was a storm that ended,
it took a bit of time from us, this is the wound.

Now age looks at us, and the dream has stopped,
the family you wanted is a future discarded.

But you were the anchor, my only certainty,
we survived the past without sadness anymore.

[Verse 2]
​You look into my eyes, I see how much it cost,
the silence now is heavy for what was lost.
 We wanted a simple future, a normal life,
I was too busy, I didn't want to listen.
[Break]
You won, and your heart hasn't changed.

[Chorus]
​My youth was a storm that ended,

it took some of our time, this is the wound.

Now age looks at us, and the dream has stopped,
[melodic interlude]
​Look at our hands, they are strong and marked,
we are not the fairy tale, but we are the truth that remains.

We have seen the pain, your tears shed,
after the farewell of the one you loved, and the absence that weighs on us.
[Break]
In this adult love, there is nothing left to hide.

[Big finish]
We are the love that endures when everything else disappears,
a silent pact that can never end.
[Outro]
In the silence... that doesn't leave us
And the silence... doesn't lie.
