The days go by, but they don’t count I struggle so much just to live Drunk On this scent so different from yours Worse I counted every minute That keeps me tied to her As if I were my own prisoner It’s been almost a year since she saved me From you Often I wonder where I’d be Because of you Often I wonder What you’re doing, where you are, who you love Get out of my thoughts I changed my address, my number Thanks I threw away your letters and your flaws Even if I pretended I’d found the strength Deep down inside me I keep all the love you gave me I try to forget you with someone else Who vainly tries to make up for your mistakes I try, but nothing works I can’t, I don’t want to, I just can’t do it I don’t love her like I loved you She— She tried to comfort me Even if She doesn’t have your words or your past It’s true But she doesn’t have your taste For parties, for the night, for others For everything I hate She dried all my tears, you know She picked up the pieces you broke And she paid all Your unpaid debts, your lies, your erasures Everything you left me She loves me like a madwoman She knows me by heart She tells me “I love you” Sometimes for hours But she doesn’t carry your scent Why Do I breathe you in While I’m in her arms?

Can’t get over you
The days go by, but they don’t count I struggle so much just to live Drunk On this scent so different from yours Worse I counted every minute That keeps me tied to her As if I were my own prisoner It’s been almost a year since she saved me From you Often I wonder where I’d be Because of you Often I wonder What you’re doing, where you are, who you love Get out of my thoughts I changed my address, my number Thanks I threw away your letters and your flaws Even if I pretended I’d found the strength Deep down inside me I keep all the love you gave me I try to forget you with someone else Who vainly tries to make up for your mistakes I try, but nothing works I can’t, I don’t want to, I just can’t do it I don’t love her like I loved you She— She tried to comfort me Even if She doesn’t have your words or your past It’s true But she doesn’t have your taste For parties, for the night, for others For everything I hate She dried all my tears, you know She picked up the pieces you broke And she paid all Your unpaid debts, your lies, your erasures Everything you left me She loves me like a madwoman She knows me by heart She tells me “I love you” Sometimes for hours But she doesn’t carry your scent Why Do I breathe you in While I’m in her arms?
