Come un'ora fa [English translation]

Hot coffee in the morning

won't heal the pain

nor surely self-esteem

as bitter as this outlook

as bitter as a kiss

to which doesn't follow a "stay a bit longer"

and so I go back to school

too many are those things

that I still haven't learnt

and dessert1 for a break

after a year of struggling

Sweetheart, I promise for life

of not loving you like [I used to] before

not comforting you like [I used to] before

craving you like [I did] back then

like an hour ago

and don't hate me like [you do] now

don't consume me like [you do] now

we're farther apart than [we used to be] back then, lalalala

and I had a vice, I admit

I would play with your mood

that then I would get on myself

supposing that2

I had misunderstood

a nail3 is still a nail

even when it's hanging4

those have been moments

of lips and teeth

seas of lies

and seas of intents

my love

listen, if you can hear me

I promise

of not loving you like [I used to] before

not comforting you like [I used to] before

craving you like [I did] back then

like an hour ago

and don't hate me like [you do] now

don't consume me like [you do] now

we're farther apart than [we used to be] back then, lalalala

and the worst has come at the end

the rose has shown its thorns

on your side, no compassion

I promise

of not loving you like [I used to] before

not comforting you like [I used to] before

craving you like [I did] back then

like an hour ago

and don't hate me like [you do] now

don't consume me like [you do] now

we're farther apart than [we used to be] back then, lalalala
