It was enough

Bastava

A smile in return to answer a smileUn sorriso di ritorno per rispondere a un sorriso
It was enoughBastava
A shared space but no golden altarUno spazio condiviso ma nessun'altare d'oro
It was enoughBastava
In a European hotel room we could keep talking or playNella stanza di un albergo d'Europa si potrebbe andare avanti a parlare o si gioca
Or exchange a slap of peaceo scambiamoci uno schiaffo di pace
The first to give up wins, gets offended, that's what they sayvince il primo che si arrende, si offende lo dice
How did we end up wanting to hurt each other so much, I don't knowCome ci siamo arrivati a volerci così tanto male non so
How did we allow ourselves to say that everyone does what they canCome ci siamo permessi di dirci che ognuno fa quello che può
A walk downtown on a white afternoonUna camminata in centro in un pomeriggio bianco
It was enoughBastava
Anticipating your annoyance, settling accounts over hatredPrevedere il tuo fastidio, fare i conti sopra l'odio
It was enoughBastava
Doing without the good manners that confuse and steal space and depthFare a meno delle buone maniere che confondono e rubano spazio e spessore
And throwing ourselves under the icy water and accepting that it's really water under the bridgeE buttarci sotto l'acqua gelata e accettare che davvero è acqua passata
How did we end up wanting to hurt each other so much, I don't knowCome ci siamo arrivati a volerci così tanto male non so
How did we allow ourselves to say that everyone does what they canCome ci siamo permessi di dirci che ognuno fa quello che può
How did we end up, you and meCome ci siamo ridotti io e te
How did we allow ourselves to say that everyone does their bestCome ci siamo permessi di dirci che ognuno fa il meglio per se
It was enoughBastava
Saying everything even if little, what you understand laterDire tutto anche se poco quello che capisci dopo
It was enoughBastava
Chewing the words, staying uprightMasticare le parole, rimanere in verticale
It was enoughBastava
Tonight opens my eyes and looks at us, sees poor war caressesQuesta notte mi apre gli occhi e ci guarda, vede povere carezze di guerra
Tonight opens my eyes and looks at us, sees silver tears falling to the groundQuesta notte mi apre gli occhi e ci guarda, vede lacrime d'argento cadere per terra
How did we end up wanting to hurt each other so much, I don't knowCome ci siamo arrivati a volerci così tanto male non so
How did we allow ourselves to say that everyone does what they canCome ci siamo permessi dirci che ognuno fa quello che può
(It was enough)(Bastava)
Who does what they canChe fa quello che può
