À minha mãe...
Há muito tempo que ando para fazer um post sobre a minha mãe. Tenho-me contido porque não é politicamente correcto falar da nossa mãe, principalmente se tivermos para dizer coisas menos simpáticas... Não tenho muita paciência para floreados, e por isso só escrevo aquilo que realmente penso. Por outro lado, também já sou mãe e tenho consciência de que não sou perfeita. Daqui por 20 ou 30 anos de certeza que a minha Rita vai ter muito que me apontar o dedo ao nariz... E não gostaria de ver publicados num Blog as minhas hipotéticas desavenças com ela. Mas tive uma ideia para resolver o meu dilema: Hoje partilho com vocês uma da minhas músicas preferidas, que eu adoro, mas que me traz sempre algum embargo na garganta, por dizer tanto sobre mim...
Não será dificil ler nas entrelinhas!
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In me tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.
