You'll lie to my eyes
You'll be wrong if you touch me
You can't forget her
A lie whenever she talks
And she'll get the words wrong
But she'll tell you what she wants
Everybody has their limits
I've understood yours well
And since I've understood
I'll pour myself a drink
At night when the sky shines
But there's no light, not even one star
I'll remember the fear that
that wet my eyes
But forgetting you wasn't possible
And you'll remember the fear that
I hoped you'd feel while I was feeling it
That everything starts fast and ends fast
The lacerating distance
between trust and self-deception
is an open door
and one that can't close
And she'll get the words wrong
But she'll tell you what she wants
There's a difference between loving
and every addiction to it
"I'll call you if I can" or
or "I can't do without"
Suffering from a rare love
the more I live it, the less I learn
I'll remember the fear that
that wet my eyes
But forgetting you wasn't possible
And you'll remember the fear that
I hoped you'd feel while I was feeling it
That everything starts fast and ends fast
and it'll stay as it is
to say it now and do it anyway
but after, nothing will change
and it'll stay as it is
to say it now, then later, again
Forgetting, I'll love you
and every hug of yours will be a gift
even if deep down I'll be alone
without wanting to, without knowing it
but after, nothing will change
and it'll stay as it is
You'll lie to my eyes
You'll be wrong if you touch me

SONG MEANING

In “La Paura Che…” Tiziano Ferro turns a late–night confession into a soundtrack of emotional tug-of-war. The singer watches himself fall for someone who cannot let go of a past love, so every look and every touch feels like a beautiful mistake. Lying eyes, awkward words, and silent nights paint a picture of a relationship balanced between trust and self-deception. Fear becomes almost tangible, “wetting the eyes,” yet walking away seems impossible because the bond feels as necessary as air.

The chorus remembers that fear while secretly wishing the other person could feel it too, just to understand the ache of loving without certainty. Ferro plays with contrasts: the quick spark of passion versus the slow burn of doubt, the open door of possibility versus the door that never quite closes. Even if nothing changes, he promises to keep loving and to treasure every hug as a gift, aware that he might end up alone anyway. The song is a bittersweet lesson on how love, dependency, and fear can coexist, leaving listeners swaying between heartbreak and hope.
