Lontano

My heart’s as heavy,
As these nights are long,
And I curse these spaces between my fingers
Where for a time you belonged
And you’ll find somebody new who’s worth your time,
Someone who’s words sound sweeter than mine
All that I meant,
Trying my best just to get by
Can you tell me what hurts more,
Is it remembering, or forgetting
The best that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering, or forgetting
I’ve kept your portrait, framed within my mind
It remains untouched of your paints and brushes that still changed over time
When you left, not without warning or regrets
Nothing would fill this hole in my chest,
Bid your farewell,
I wish you nothing but the best
Can you tell me what hurts more,
Is it remembering, or forgetting
The best that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering, or forgetting
So my love, goodbye
So my love, goodbye
