Defeated—my heart was left defeated By your gaze, so full of indifference, By your words, so full of loneliness. You were looking at the ceiling; I didn't know where to look... And our nervous hands Wanted to flee from reality. A defeated heart... Lost in a void We didn't know how to fill, And the distance Growing by the second— A gap we couldn't bridge. It was a silence so long, so long... It lasted an eternity, and words Were superfluous... we didn't need to speak... You were looking at the ceiling; I didn't know where to look... And our nervous hands Wanted to flee from reality. We talked about the weather, About the traffic, about how beautiful you looked, But we didn't talk about *us*— There was nothing left to say. And you were looking at the ceiling; I didn't know where to look... And our nervous hands Wanted to flee from reality. Your voice was trembling; You were searching for something You didn't know how to find, Until a goodbye came along— One that happened by chance. And you stopped looking at the ceiling To look down at the floor... And a kiss on the forehead Brought it all to an end... You were no longer looking at the ceiling; I didn't know where to look, And my nervous hand Bade you a final farewell To mask the reality... Defeated—my heart was left defeated... Defeated—my heart was left defeated By your gaze, so full of indifference, And by your words, so full of loneliness. Full of loneliness... yes, of loneliness...
