HEART-SHAPED GLASSES (WHEN THE HEART GUIDES THE HAND)

She reminds me of
the one in school
when I was cutting
she was dressed in white
and I couldn't take my eyes off her
but that's not what I took off that night
And she'll never cover up
what we did
with a dress
no
she said
"kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget.
kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget."
And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.
Don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low
That blue is getting me high
making me low
That blue is getting me high
making me low
She reminds of
the one I knew
that cut up the negatives
of my life
I couldn't take my hands off her
she wouldn't let me be
anywhere but inside
And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.
Just
don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low
And she'll never cover up
what we did
with a dress
no
she said
"kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget.
kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget."
And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.
Don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low

OCCHIALI A FORMA DI CUORE (quando il cuore guida la mano)

Mi ricordava la fidanzata che avevo a scuola
Quando avevo ancora l’abitudine di tagliarmi
Era vestita di bianco
Non riuscivo a toglierle gli occhi di dosso
Ma non fu il vestito che tolsi quella notte
E lei non capirà mai
Quello che facemmo
Con un vestito.

Disse: ‘baciami, ti aiuterà a guarire
Ma non a dimenticare ‘
E non m’importa se ora mi tieni
Prigioniero con spilli ed aghi
Basta che stiamo insieme

Non spezzarmi il cuore ed io
Non romperò i tuoi occhiali a cuore
Ragazzina, faresti meglio a chiudere gli occhi
Questa depressione mi esalta, mi distrugge

Mi ricordava quella che conoscevo
Quella che tagliò i negativi della mia vita
Non riuscivo a toglierle le mani di dosso
E lei non mi lasciava essere in nessun luogo
Se non all’interno.
