We’re caught in an undeclared competition
I know you didn’t want it, but we’re here
You calculated words, gestures and kindness 
Laughed at all my jokes and volunteered. 

I know you have an innocence that makes it easy
I once wore the same perfume, you know?
And even so, because i learned my lessons 
I won’t be fooled and I won’t let it go. 

Chorus
I see that it’s a matter of surviving
Frustrations when it comes to our war
I saw today the arrival of my rival 
Your youth reminds me that I’m not that old. 

Yes, I will treat you nice each day
But I will closely watch how you ascend
I will share with you the things I learned
For which long time ago I almost bled.  /Although for some of them I bled. 

I know you might even believe one day
That you condensed my years in a few months
Then I will strike you hard and out of nowhere 
Cause you still have a long, long way to run. 

C

I strike you, but I’m doing it with kindness 
Not only to get you down where you belong
But also cause you need the hardest lesson:
The strongest ones first learn how to fall.
