It’s the price I guess
For the lies I’ve told
That the truth it no longer thrills me

And why can’t we laugh?
When it’s all we have
Have we put these childish things away?
Have we lost the magic that we once had?

In the end, in the end
There’s nothing more to life than love, is there?
In the end, in the end
It’s time for us to lose our weary minds

Will you dance with me?
Like we used to dance
And remember how to move together

You are the torch
And it all makes sense
I’ve waited here for you forever
I’ve waited here for you forever

In the end, in the end
There’s nothing more to life than love, is there?
In the end, in the end
It’s time for us to lose our weary minds

We’re lost ‘til we learn how to ask
We’re lost ‘til we learn how to ask
We are lost ‘til we learn how to ask
So please, please just ask

In the end, in the end
There’s nothing more to life than love, is there?
In the end, in the end
It’s time for us to lose our weary minds
There’s nothing more to life than love, is there?

In Italian

Io e te ne abbiam vista qualcuna - vissuta qualcuna
ed abbiamo capito per bene - il termine insieme
mentre il sole alle spalle pian piano ca giù
e quel sole vorresti non essere tu

e così hai ripreso a fumare - a darti da fare
è andata come doveva - come poteva
quante briciole restano dietro di noi
o brindiamo alla nostra o brindiamo a chi vuoi

l’amore conta
l’amore conta
conosci un altro modo
per fregar la morte?
nessuno dice mai se prima o poi
e forse qualche dio non ha finito con noi
l’amore conta

io e te ci siam tolti le voglie
ognuno i suoi sbagli
è un peccato per quelle promesse
oneste ma grosse
ci si sceglie per farselo un pò in compagnia
questo viaggio in cui non si ripassa dal via

l’amore conta - l’amore conta
e conta gli anni a chi non è mai stato pronto
nessuno dice mai che sia facile
e forse qualche dio non ha finito con te

grazie per il tempo pieno
grazie per la te più vera
grazie per i denti stretti
i difetti
per le botte d’allegria
per la nostra fantasia

l’amore conta
l’amore conta
conosci un altro modo per fregar la morte?
nessuno dice mai se prima o se poi
e forse qualche dio non ha finito con noi

l’amore conta
l’amore conta
per quanto tiri sai
che la coperta è corta
nessuno dice mai che sia facile
e forse qualche dio non ha finito con te
l’amore conta

In English

Me and you have seen some - lived some
And we have known very well - the term “together”
While the sun behind slowly goes down
And you don’t want to be that sun

And so you smoke again - you get down to it again
It has gone as it had to - as it could
How many crumbs fall behind us
Let’s drink a toast to us or drink to whoever you want

Love counts
Love counts
Do you know another way
To stitch up the death?
No one has ever said if sooner or later
And maybe some god has not finished with us yet
Love counts

Me and you have satisfied our wills
Each one has some wrongs
It’s a pity for those promises
Honest but too big
We choose each other just to have some company
In this journey in which you will never start again

Love counts - love counts
And it counts the years to those which has never been ready
No one has ever said it’s easy
And maybe some god has not finished with you yet

Thank you for the full time
Thank you for the true you
Thank you for tight teeth
For faults
For shots in the arm
For our fantasy

Love counts
Love counts
Do you know another way
To stitch up the death?
No one has ever said if sooner or later
And maybe some god has not finished with us yet

Love counts
Love counts
You can pull how much as you can but you know
That the blanket is short
No one has ever said it’s easy
And maybe some god has not finished with you yet

Easy come, easy go, that’s just how you live 
Oh take, take, take it all, but you never give
Should’ve known you was trouble from the first kiss 
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open? 

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked 
cause what you don’t understand

Is I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah yeah)
You know I’d do anything for ya (yeah yeah)
Oh-oh I would go through all this pain 
Take a bullet straight through my brain 
Yes I would die for ya baby, but you won’t do the same..

No, no, no, no-oh

Black, black, black and blue beat me till I’m numb 
Tell the devil I said hey when you get back to where you’re from
Mad woman, bad woman that’s just what you are, yeah 
You smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love 
Is all I ever asked cause what you don’t understand 

Is I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah yeah)
You know I’d do anything for ya (yeah yeah)
Oh-oh I would go through all this pain 
Take a bullet straight through my brain 
Yes I would die for ya baby, but you won’t do the same..

If my body was on fire 
Ooh you’d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you’re a liar 
Cause you never ever ever did baby

But darlin’ I’d still catch a grenade for ya 
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I’d jump in front of a train for ya 
You know I’d do anything for ya
Oh-oh I would go through all this pain, yeah
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes I would die for ya baby, but you won’t do the same..

No you won’t do the same
You wouldn’t do the same Ooh
You’d never do the same
No no no no-oh.
