Discover the story of the song > Ciao – Alessandra Amoroso

In these lyrics, the protagonist is talking about a difficult relationship with someone they love. They talk about saying things they didn't mean to hurt their partner and how it ended up hurting them too. They mention how time flies, comparing it to the time it takes to smoke a cigarette. The protagonist asks their partner if they are still the same person they fell in love with, and even though they may not recognize them anymore, they would still be able to identify their scent. The protagonist admits to making a promise they can't keep and their partner tells them to take it easy, but they still love them. The protagonist feels like they are going against the flow of things and mentions that life is like a poker game, where some people are always taking risks and others have given up. They end by saying hello and asking their partner how they are doing, while also apologizing for their insecurities.
