Lyrics[]

I’ve tried to write a million other songs, but
Somehow I can’t move on
Oh, you’re gone
Takes time, alright, and I know it’s no one’s fault, but
Somehow I can’t move on
Oh, you’re gone

Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

Tem tanto que trago comigo
Foi sempre o meu porto de abrigo
E agora nada faz sentido, perdi o meu melhor amigo
E se não for demais, peço por sinais
Resta uma só palavra

Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
Saudade, saudade
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

I’ve tried, alright
But it’s killing me inside
Thought you’d be by my side always

I’ve tried to write a million other songs, but
Somehow I can’t move on
Oh, you’re gone
Takes time, alright, and I know it’s no one’s fault, but
Somehow I can’t move on
Oh, you’re gone

Longing, longing
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
Longing, longing
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

I have so much that I bring with me
It was always my haven
And now nothing makes sense, I lost my best friend
And if it's not too much, I ask for signs
Only one word remains

Longing, longing
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way
Longing, longing
Nothing more that I can say
Says it in a better way

I’ve tried, alright
But it’s killing me inside
Thought you’d be by my side always
