There's the age they give us
And the one they lend us
There's the age of our bodies
Some people sleep outside
While me, me, at my window
Convinced of my sad fate
I don't finish my plate
And me, this life, I thought one day
I'd come to know its meaning
It's just we gotta arm ourselves with love
Like all those sons of brutes
They say hell's other people
But mine comes from inside
Gotta put out the fire on my ribs
Even if it drowns my heart
To build yourself a rosy life
Some things take time
And time grabs those things
We cruelly cling to
And since hell's other people
And mine comes from inside
Gotta put out the fire on my ribs
Even if it drowns my heart
Will somebody someday pay
The price of all my solitude
Everything I've done, it's for love
Even if this life's just a brute
I'll learn to rejoice, for sure
In the time this life leaves me
Instead of crying over lost time
I'll water what's left
With whatever water you give me
I run my hand through your hair
With the water of your eyes
