Symphony
Francesca Battistelli Lyrics

The first time I saw his face
From the very first moment, I knew encountering him would change me forever.

And the moment he said hello
Immediately, when he greeted me, I felt music playing gently in the background.

'Cause he gave me a reason
His presence inspired me to sing and experience life with more vibrancy.

To sing every song.
I found joy in all aspects of life, thanks to him.

But why can't he see it?
However, he doesn't seem to appreciate the influence he has had on me.

Where did I go wrong?
I'm still unsure what mistake I've made, why he hasn't realized how much I've changed for the better.

I thought he was everything,
I felt so much admiration for him, that I believed he was my everything.

So I gave him my hopes and dreams.
I confidently entrusted him with my aspirations and deepest desires.

What happened to destiny?
Despite feeling like he was my meant-to-be, something must have disrupted the path we were on.

And where is my symphony?
I thought we had an exquisite partnership filled with perfect harmonies, but now I'm lost trying to find my way without him.

My heart fell to the ground
I felt incredibly heartbroken and shattered.

When it seemed that he had already found
It was apparent to me that he had already located someone else.

Someone to sing his song
He found another person to share life with.

And she sings it real good,
She does a great job of complementing and engaging with him.

But she'll never sing it
However, she'll never be able to replicate the emotional connection and shared experiences I had with him.

The way that I could.
I brought a unique perspective and personal touch to the relationship that won't be matched by anyone else.

'Cause he gives me a reason
I feel encouraged and inspired to express myself to the fullest when he is around.

To speak every word
I am compelled to articulate my thoughts and feelings when in his presence.

But why can't he see it?
It's disheartening that he doesn't recognize the influence he has on me and appreciate the unique connection we share.

And hasn't he heard?
Maybe he hasn't comprehended the depths of our relationship and the positive impact it has had on me.

There should be strings and bells, and pianos too.
Our relationship should be filled with beautiful and varied sounds to represent the wonder and beauty of our connection.

There should be nobody else but me and you.
We were meant to be together with no other distractions or competitors for our affection.

There could have been laughter and flowers,
We could have been happy with each other and made efforts to celebrate our love.

But you'll never know,
Sadly, you'll never be able to fully comprehend what we could have had.

'Cause you couldn't hear my symphony,
You weren't able to appreciate the connection and beauty that we shared in our relationship.

Now where do I go?
I am left wondering what I should do without you and in search of the next chapter of my life.

I thought you were everything,
I felt so much admiration for you that I felt you were my everything.

So I gave you my hopes and dreams.
I trusted you with my deepest wishes and aspirations.

What happened to destiny?
I felt like it was our destiny to be together, but something went wrong.

And where is my symphony?
Without you, I feel lost and unsure of how to proceed. I feel like the beautiful symphony that we once shared has disappeared.
