Love Me Like You Care
Lyrics
Love Me Like You Care
Greek Spoken Intro
(czytane powoli, z oddechem, jak wyznanie w pustej tawernie przy brzegu morza)
**«Μια νύχτα χωρίς φεγγάρι…
η θάλασσα μου μίλησε πρώτη.
Μου είπε πως η σκιά σου
περπάτησε ξανά στο παλιό λιμάνι.
Κι εγώ…
εγώ περίμενα την ανάσα σου,
ένα σημάδι πως δεν χάθηκες.
Αν μ’ ακούς…
γύρνα πίσω στην καρδιά
που άφησες να ματώνει.
Έλα πριν χαθούμε κι άλλο…
αγάπα με σαν να νοιάζεσαι.»**
**Verse 1**
The tavern lights were trembling like forgotten dawn,
Old bouzouki strings were crying every note we lost.
You slipped inside the doorway like a breath of spring,
But your eyes were miles away from everything.
I raised a glass to all the nights we couldn’t save,
To every dream we buried on that windy bay.
Your shadow touched the table where my hands once prayed,
And the memory felt warmer than the love we made.
**Pre-Chorus**
And the harbour wind whispered your name so low,
Like the sea itself remembered how you used to glow.
I’m standing here with the truth stripped bare…
All I ever wanted was you to love me like you care.
**Chorus**
**Love me like you care,**
Like you’re not afraid to feel this haunted air.
Hold me like the waves hold moonlight in despair,
Come back to the heart you left somewhere.
If you’re still mine anywhere…
Then love me,
Love me like you care.
**Verse 2**
The waiter lit a candle where you used to sit,
Its flame was shaking like it knew our hearts don’t fit.
But I still hear your laughter in the clink of wine,
Still taste your promise in the dust of time.
A lonely dancer spun a zeibekiko step,
Slow and broken, like a soul that can’t forget.
And I felt you in the rhythm, soft and rare,
Like a ghost leaning close to stroke my hair.
**Pre-Chorus**
And the shoreline sighed with the weight of what we were,
Every tide returning just to ache for her.
If you can hear me through this island air…
Then love me like you care.
**Chorus**
**Love me like you care,**
Like you’re not afraid to feel this haunted air.
Hold me like the waves hold moonlight in despair,
Come back to the heart you left somewhere.
If you’re still mine anywhere…
Then love me,
Love me like you care.
**Bridge (acoustic Greek tavern vibe)**
Play the bouzouki soft, let the strings confess,
Every tremble is a truth I never said.
If your spirit walks these streets tonight,
Let it find my heart in the tavern light.
**Final Chorus (Balearic, tender, ghostly)**
**Love me like you care,**
Even if your body’s gone, your soul is there.
Hold me like the dusk holds islands in a prayer,
Touch me with a love that’s fragile, rare.
If you ever loved me anywhere…
Then love me,
Love me like you care.
🎶 Greek Island Female Chant Outro
(śpiewane miękko, falująco, jak głos kobiet siedzących na skałach o zmierzchu)
**«Αχ, καρδιά μου…
νανούρισμα του ανέμου…
μην κλαις άλλο πια.
Ωωω…
φέρε πίσω την αγάπη…
φέρε πίσω το φως.
Λάι-λαϊ, λάι-λαϊ…
η θάλασσα θυμάται…
κι εγώ σε καλώ ξανά.
Ααα…
γύρνα ψυχή μου…
γύρνα στον δρόμο μου.
Λάι-λαϊ, λάι-λαϊ…
η αγάπη δεν σβήνει…
όσο η νύχτα ανασαίνει…
ααα… ααα…»**
