I thought I couldn't
You showed it to me
I showed it to myself
Fate has shown me
I didn't know I could feel it
I never felt much, so that's how it feels
I cheated myself
Pretended to understand all this
As if I like everything
But I've never seen the charm
Maybe I understand it now
Got my focus wrong, now I know it better
Thank you very much!
I feel free now
I am a new person in the old person
Can breathe suddenly like I never breathed
My lungs fill up, slowly and regularly
It never felt better to breathe.
I can laugh like I've never laughed before and I don't have to pretend I'm laughing
The spectacle I never wanted to play is now smaller
No role that I didn't even know I was playing.
I've stopped playing, I can be now.
Now I'm just missing you!
