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.
