LEARN LYRICS

You tell me nothing passes

Even after a while

That one fine day it's a dead end

And beyond the ocean

That we always keep the trace

Of a love, of someone gone

That you resurface

Like yesterday straight ahead

You tell me nothing helps

Words or time

That it'll take a whole life

To one day pretend

To look back

Come back smiling

Keeping what must stay quiet

And then act like before

I can only tell you

That I needed fear to be reassured

That I knew pain before being comforted

That I needed tears to hide nothing anymore

That I'd known resentment long before being soothed

You don't yet know what I know by heart

What I know by heart

Beautiful sorrow beautiful sorrow beautiful sorrow

You tell me nothing erases

Neither chalk nor blood

That we learn after class

Or after we're thirty

We can say alas three times

That nobody hears it

Like nobody replaces

Those who leave for a long time

You tell me winter's coming

That we forget spring

That we empty the shelves

And fill them differently

That we remember the green eyes

The laughter every moment

That after all the voice gets lost

But the words are alive

I can only tell you

That I needed fear to be reassured

That I knew pain before being comforted

That I needed tears to hide nothing anymore

That I'd known resentment long before being soothed

You don't yet know what I know by heart

What I know by heart

You tell me it's a trap

A game for losers

That the boat's made of cork

And the armor's tin

That nothing protects you anymore

Or else not for long

That it's like a spell

To be alone now

I can only tell you

To be reassured

Before being comforted

To hide nothing anymore

Long before being calmed

I needed fear to be reassured

And I knew pain before being comforted

I needed tears to hide nothing anymore

And I'd known resentment long before being soothed

You don't yet know what I know by heart

What I know by heart

Beautiful sorrow beautiful sorrow beautiful sorrow
