In an interview with Metal Chest of Wonders Andrea Ferro said about this song:
“A song about the lack of trust, this feeling you get after a negative experience but there’s a lot to be learned to get stronger. It’s about growing up, starting to live again and move on.”
[Verse: Andrea Ferro]
Silence in the room
But I still hear your voice
I've been awake all night
My heart is aching for you
Blinded by the light
I cannot see the answers
Here with open arms
My heart is waiting for you
[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia]
How much is this gonna hurt?
You promise you'll never tell a lie
Don't tell me it's all over
Even in the end I feel alive
[Verse: Andrea]
I did trust your words
But I don't trust your actions
Walk on broken glass
The chemical reaction
The chemical reaction
[Chorus: Cristina]
How much is this gonna hurt?
You promise you'll never tell a lie
Don't tell me it's all over
Even in the end I feel alive
[Bridge: Andrea, Cristina]
Burn baby, burn baby
I will shut the door and hide the key
Burn baby, burn baby
Burn baby, burn baby
Give you a taste of your own medicine
Burn baby, burn baby
Time to break free
[Chorus: Cristina]
How much is this gonna hurt?
You promise you'll never tell a lie
Don’t tell me it's all over
Even in the end I feel alive
[Outro: Andrea]
I'm alive...
I'm alive...
[Guitar/Drum Instrumental]
