I've given you a bit of humanity
I've given you indestructible dreams
Time doesn't make us invincible anymore
But very full of ourselves
I've given you a bit of serenity
That feeling you get on Sunday
When you don't have to do a thing
You just have to be and you don't know what
I'm not your loneliness
Just a pang in the ribs and then
You'll forget what you had to tell me
I'm not your loneliness
Just a sentence to repeat and then
You'll forget who you heard it from
You gave me a bit of maturity
The kind where you never tell the truth
When you pretend everything's fine even
If you're dying inside
You gave me your superficiality
That almost chronic ruthlessness
Where you stay afloat and land on your feet
Even if you've got so much rot
I'm not your loneliness
Just a pang in the ribs and then
You'll forget what you had to tell me
I'm not your loneliness
Just a sentence to repeat and then
You'll forget who you heard it from
I'm not your loneliness
A prayer learned by heart
That you don't even know what it means anymore
I'm not your loneliness
A borrowed word that
You don't know who to give back to anymore
You don't know who to give back to anymore

SONG MEANING

Francesca Michielin’s "Non Sono Io La Tua Solitudine" feels like a heartfelt conversation between two people who keep swapping emotional gifts, only to discover they never truly needed them. She sings about offering humanity, serenity, and indestructible dreams, while receiving surface-level maturity and a talent for pretending everything is fine. Little by little, the singer realizes she is not responsible for the other person’s emptiness: she is just a fleeting ache in their ribs, a phrase they will soon forget.

The song explores how we sometimes project our loneliness onto others, expecting them to fix it. Michielin turns that idea on its head, reminding us that true peace comes from within. With vivid imagery and a bittersweet melody, she invites listeners to let people stand beside us rather than carry our burdens for us. In short, it is a modern Italian pop anthem about drawing healthy boundaries and refusing to be anyone’s personal band-aid.
