The One You Are Not
I have already seen you
you were in the midst of all the words that
you never managed to say.
You were in the middle of
a life that could have gone but
we didn't know where....
I saw you playing games with the mirror
and being in a hurry to 'being great
and then wanting to go back
when you can't.
The one you are not
The one you are not, you are not
but I am here
and if it is enough for you
The one you are not, you will not be
it will be enough for me.
There's a place inside you where it's cold
It's the place no one has ever entered
The one you're not.
I've already seen you
you were in the middle of all your excuses
without knowing what for.
You were among those who tell you choose: o Trojan o bride
I saw you ashamed of your mother
tearing your surname to pieces
always without bothering you just in case.
The one you are not
The one you are not, you are not
but I am here
and if it is enough for you
The one you are not, you will not be
it will be enough for me.
There is a place inside you that you keep off
It's the place where no one ever gets
The one you are not.
I saw you behind too much rimmel
behind another hairstyle
you were behind a fear
that you never leave.
The one you are not
The one you are not, you are not
but I am here
and if it is enough for you
The one you are not, you will not be
it will be enough for me.
There's a place inside you where it's cold
It's the place no one has ever entered.
