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
