Fair Heaven

Hurt Before

La stessa persona che anni fa mi fece scoprire questo gruppo,
ieri sera mi ha fatto riscoprire questa canzone.
In passato non mi è mai piaciuta,
troppo lenta, troppo triste, con un testo che non mi diceva niente.

Ora, invece, mi dice tutto.

E così, cantando lungo la strada veso casa, cercando di rimanere sveglie,
ricordando parole imparate a memoria dieci anni fa nei lunghi pomeriggi dei sabati invernali in cui ancora non si usciva,
mi sono dovuta fermare, perchè era a me che le parole stavano parlando.

Ma come si fa a capire quale porta aprire?

She's a girl in a world, she's moving as fast as she goes
Loves her mum and her dad, the only secure that she knows
But at night, she's alone, she's dreaming of somebody new
Her someone for to hold, she's praying the dream will come true

Show me the way - show me, show me how
Help me be brave - for love
Show me the way - show me, tell me how
What do you say

There's a pain in her heart, she's trying so hard to unwind
Makes her cry in the night, when visions so real make her blind
Wants to break through the the fear
Erasing the scars from within
Start a new kind of being - she's down and she's praying again

Show me the way - show me, show me how
Help me be brave - for love
Show me the way - show me, tell me how
What do you say

You see she's -
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Stepping outside, with body and soul
Taking whatever future holds
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Take it in stride, you're just twenty-five
And you know we've all been hurt before
Yeah we've all been hurt before
So you're not alone..., no...
You're not alone..
