[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]
Honestly, what will become of me?
Don't like reality, it's way too clear to me
But really, life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
Flames to dust, lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust, lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

[Verse 2: Zero Assoluto]
Solo così, potrei ritrovare
Il coraggio di, di riprovarci nonostante tutto
Correre lontano da qua (Adesso)
Chiedersi qual era il perché (Domani)
Torneremo così, tornerò così da te
Da te, da te, da te, da te

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Zero Assoluto]
Flames to dust, lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust, lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an...
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an...
Why do all good things come to an end?

[Post-Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
Well, the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could—
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon, so that they could—

[Bridge: Zero Assoluto & Nelly Furtado]
Lo sento già: è come perdersi (Die)
Se provi a crederci, proverò così (Die)
Io posso crederci, tornerò così, torneremo così (Die)

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
Flames to dust, lovers to friends (Dust, friends)
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust, lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end? (An end)
Come to an end, come to an... (End, end)
Why do all good things come to an end? (End, end)
Come to an end, come to an... (End, end)
Why do all good things come to an end? (End)

[Outro: Nelly Furtado]
Well, the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date.
