The Way I Live lyrics

To me you were quite different from the others,

you could understand me in a single glance.

You knew just how to make me smile, and to laugh at the way I lived.

And you taught me how to cry…

trough loving me, and leaving me.

Yes, leaving me.

But it was beautiful to spend these days with you,

that I don’t even care if you really loved me.

Each day seems a little different to me.

I think I understand life a lot better.

I just want to learn how to live, without falling into habits.

It’s the way I’d like to live.

I’d like to live, I’d like to live.

Yes, I’d like to live.

I don’t forget the past ‘cause I have no regrets.

It was so beautiful that’s all I want to know.

But you know an irrational man like me.

One day just walks away without a word.

If was a mere parenthesis, but I’ve remained there all alone,

thinking over the way I lived.

The way I lived, the way I lived.

Yes, the way I lived.

And now I feel the weight of my solicitude,

even if it leaves me time to think of you.

Na na na na na…

And I feel to much the weight of my solicitude,

so I’d like to ask you if you’ll come back…

come back and live with me.
