Amore di plastica [English translation]

You're not at all obligated

to understand me

I almost don't feel the need

to insist

You who offered me a love

of plastic

Did you ever wonder if it was honest

to illude me?

Remember

You're the one that's not there

When I cry

You're the one that doesn't know

When it's my birthday

When I wander in the dark

But how can I give my soul

And be able to believe

That everything may be more or less easy

When it's impossible

I wanted to be stronger than

All your perplexities

But I cannot let myself be happy if

All that you

Can give me

Is a plastic love

You're that fire that struggles

To light itself

You have no more excuses yet you still can

confuse me

Remember

You're the one that's not there

When I cry

You're the one that doesn't know

When it's my birthday

When I wander in the dark

But how can I give my soul

And be able to believe

That everything may be more or less easy

When it's impossible

I wanted to be stronger than

All your perplexities

But I cannot let myself be happy if

All that you

Can give me

Is a plastic love

I wanted to be stronger than

All your perplexities

But I cannot let myself be happy if

All that you

Can give me

Is a plastic love
