Deserve
(Riccardo Maccabruni)

I can try 
to fit a glance in a line   
or pick a string, 
for what the words cannot describe.

Just to keep you by my side,
one second at a time,
catching your attention
when it tries to fly away…

but I cannot say
what you deserve to hear,
I can’t be 
what you deserve from me 

Looks like time has lost his grasp,
nights are never ending,
seasons keep on changing much too fast.

I feel gravity rearranging,
the light around you bending,
I’m not longer standing into solid ground.
But now…

I cannot say
what you deserve to hear
I can’t be 
what you deserve from me.
