I chose me, nobody will get it anyway
And smoke will be my best friend
I chose me and my life's already better
Since I woke up and figured out who she is
Talk about me and don't spit where you ate
Now you're exactly what you hated
It'll be an endless regret, a timeless love
I'd even have given you the moon if you'd just asked
The pen confesses to me, only friend when everything ends
And the flood beats against my window
They say eyes can't lie
So take out the contacts and tell me what you've got to say
I saw friends leave in a heartbeat, I toast to them
While we watch gold turn into platinum
If I drink a lot it's only so I won't remember
That the good ones go and these scumbags get spared
A thousand old photos scattered round the room, who knows if she misses me
Or maybe she's plenty fine with him
Whoever plays too much with fire risks getting burned
We're good at falling but the problem's getting back up
For everyone like us with no presents
Out of the projects for that business sense
No woman no cry, I picked this road
I'll take every consequence and you wait for me in pajamas
I chose me, nobody will get it anyway
And smoke will be my best friend
I chose me and my life's already better
Since I woke up and figured out who she is
Talk about me and don't spit where you ate
Now you're exactly what you hated
It'll be an endless regret, a timeless love
I'd even have given you the moon if you'd just asked
Mom tries to save her son even if
She doesn't know the son's trying to save her
For all my brothers with their kids in their arms
For those who can't see them and every letter comes with tears
Cigarette butts everywhere, dirty dishes, where are you
I don't remember much, I've even lost count of my own days
Another day pretending I'm older is ridiculous
If one day grown up I'll regret when I was little
I can't explain to you what happened
I only know how many times I cried waiting for this moment
A pair of shoes a year was my Christmas gift
From worn-out soles to Pumas in unopened boxes
The Italian dream isn't a far-off dream
And what future do we picture if we don't free ourselves
Slave to a nation chasing a banknote
That sadly isn't hers because it belongs to Europe
I chose me, nobody will get it anyway
And smoke will be my best friend
I chose me and my life's already better
Since I woke up and figured out who she is
Talk about me and don't spit where you ate
Now you're exactly what you hated
It'll be an endless regret, a timeless love
I'd even have given you the moon if you'd just asked
Nobody will get it anyway and smoke will be my best friend
