Ho Creduto A Me Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ho Creduto A Me by Laura Pausini from Italian to English.
I believed myself
Stopped at a station
Empty of joy
Full of people
Who stays wins
I stay
I believed myself
As if I were someone else
Who tells me "let it pass"
"It'll pass this time too"
Who tells me "listen"
To what you already know
I just wanted to lean on a heart
And have time to build
When, so I wouldn't say too much
I never said a word
When the blood in my veins
Had turned into lead
When you said "sorry"
Way too little, though
And chose to leave
Sadly, I didn't
I believed myself
In my dark eyes
Like certain nights
When you can't breathe
When the sky falls
But you don't die
And you end here
This fine rain
That strips the paint off the air
Like a season
I lied to everyone
But I believed myself
I just wanted to shoot a heart
One shot without a silencer
When, so I wouldn't say too much
I never said a word
When the blood in my veins
Had turned into lead
When you said "sorry"
Way too little, though
And you chose to walk out
To hush a pain
I really didn't

SONG MEANING

Laura Pausini invites us onto a lonely train platform where heartbreak feels as heavy as lead, yet determination keeps her standing. The speaker has just watched a partner walk away with a simple, painful “mi spiace,” and in the echo of that goodbye she repeats a single mantra: Ho creduto a me—I believed in myself. Surrounded by strangers and stifling silence, she listens to an inner voice that insists the storm will pass, even when the sky seems to fall. The song’s vivid images—blood turning to lead, rain stripping color from the air—capture the raw intensity of loss while hinting at the strength that survives beneath it.

At its heart, the track is a power-ballad of resilience. Pausini sings of wanting to “shoot a heart” with unfiltered truth, yet she chooses instead to anchor herself in self-faith. She admits she has lied to everyone else, but never to that small, stubborn spark inside. The result is a moving anthem for anyone who has been left behind: a reminder that staying, healing, and believing in your own worth can be the most courageous victory of all.
