Paul Thin

Maybe something could help us remember
That if they left me with a broken heart
It might be because I didn’t love enough
The one who trusted me with their memories

To forget it all
Even if I say, “It’s over”
No one asks, “What happened?”
I feel like it slipped away
And if I’ve lost my mind
I don’t care anymore
And even if I tell myself no
Even if I say, “It’s over”
No one asks, “What happened?”
I feel like it slipped away
(It slipped away, it slipped away)

I look at myself in the mirror and get lost
In eyes that I don’t understand
What they want to feel
What they have to do with me
And who made them suffer
Seeing that a lifetime, or maybe two, have passed
It doesn’t matter, but I still miss it
If that’s another way of saying everything and nothing
Of no longer understanding myself

If I don’t disguise myself as someone
Who hasn’t spent a thousand nights
Waiting for a magical change
Of name, of house, of outlook
To see life and time differently
To be able to fall asleep without tossing and turning alone
I wish it were that way
But I felt it and told myself

No
Even if I say, “It’s over”
No one asks, “What happened?”
I feel like it slipped away
And if I’ve lost my mind
I don’t care anymore
And even if I tell myself no
Even if I say, “It’s over”
No one asks, “What happened?”
I feel like it slipped away
(It slipped away, it slipped away)
