I Love You – Billie Eilish


It’s not true
Tell me I’ve been lied to
Crying isn’t like you, ooh
What the hell did I do?
Never been the type to
Let someone see right through, ooh


Maybe won’t you take it back?
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn’t mean to say “I love you”
I love you and I don’t want to, ooh

Up all night on another red-eye
I wish we never learned to fly

Maybe we should just try
To tell ourselves a good lie
Didn’t mean to make you cry

Maybe won’t you take it back?
Say you were tryna make me laugh
And nothing has to change today
You didn’t mean to say “I love you”
I love you and I don’t want to, ooh
The smile that you gave me
Even when you felt like dying


We fall apart as it gets dark
I’m in your arms in Central Park
There’s nothing you could do or say
I can’t escape the way I love you
I don’t want to, but I love you, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Dopo il tumulto, il silenzio.

M’immergo nell’anima,

E cerco di trovare ancora un senso,

A questa tempo di vita bislacca.

Qualche ciottolo di mare in tasca,

Un filo di spago raggomitolato,

Il sale sulle labbra cotte dall’arsura del sole,

Un pò di gocce di pioggia sul bavero alzato.

Trovo qualcosa per sfamare l’anima,

L’illusione di amori mai vissuti,

Le forme di sogni mai realizzati,

Qualche abbraccio,

Un bacio voluto, cercato,

Un biglietto per un viaggio mai fatto.

Mentre il tempo scorre,

Implacabile,

Un altro anno andato.
