I, who haven't had a woman in a while
I've always kept relationships distant
They all want to take something I don't have
You don't get attached to people when you're grown
I find the fear I have of falling in love
I pull up a cloud made of excuses
That I make up just to not get closer
Under your doorway you asked me if I'm up for it
To come upstairs and it was just our first date
At that same spot months later I give you
Heartaches and you're sending me away saying
Now I don't wanna talk anymore
Because I don't know how to stay
You coming down the stairs'
In a studio on the Navigli, forty square meters
You asked me, 'Do you believe in love?' Or if I had any wishes
What I thought about the future or if I had real friends
You were drunk, but you filled both our minds
When you move you've got something no other girl has
And I've got truths you don't want me to tell you
If I went back you know I'd never have hurt you
I'd have bought some rings to fill your fingers
Then we did it hard, standing in the doorways
And I know that on the other hand
Under your doorway you asked me if I'm up for it
To come upstairs and it was just our first date
At that same spot months later I give you
Heartaches and you're sending me away saying
Now I don't wanna talk anymore
Because I don't know how to stay
You coming down the stairs'
I've probably told you three thousand times
If it'll help, I'll tell you even more
I even think of you when I'm at the post office
I mail letters to your blue eyes
And I don't know if you'll let me back in
I've got flowers in my hand and I'm embarrassed
You laugh and stay there still watching
How beautiful you are, f*ck
'Don't ever hurt me again
Now I don't wanna talk anymore
Because I don't know how to stay
You coming down the stairs and leaving
