_____
Intense photos of things I won't tell you
_____
Lost photos of tears I've shed
_____
Bandages stained with healed-over blood
_____
This time I block, block, block everything
_____
I seal every memory in concrete
_____
I block it and a tear stumbles
_____
Inside an aborted answer
_____
Look at him a bit better, your son
_____
A heartless piece of sh*t yet rich
_____
But maybe better that than a ruined son
_____
Honest even if they've stripped him of everything
_____
The last taste I have of consolation
_____
You hugging me after history homework
_____
But I didn't get it, didn't get it, couldn't breathe
_____
I wasn't even half your age
_____
I looked for myself in the tiny pieces left
_____
Of much too little, of emptiness, of happiness
_____
Stained by the memory the next day
_____
In South America, then Madrid or Argentina
_____
Lost in the soul that was fading
_____
'If I fall in love, it'll be with you
_____
If I fall in love, it'll be with you
_____
And tonight I go out, go out and hate it
_____
But I always use the same excuse
_____
I block every memory, yet I don't remember
_____
What the warmth of your hug feels like
_____
Not to mention the buzz, the halfway
_____
F*cking caress, I don't remember
_____
I've erased you watching in silence
_____
The blows I took and that's where I lost you
_____
And the last memory of a 'I love you so much'
_____
Tastes like rough paper, like a diary page
_____
I dreamed it, hoped for it, adored you but
_____
I just wanted to die alone
_____
And when I lost you
_____
I wasn't even half your age
_____
I looked for myself in the tiny pieces left
_____
Of much too little, of emptiness, of happiness
_____
Stained by the memory the next day
_____
In South America, then Madrid or Argentina
_____
Lost in the soul that was fading
_____
'If I fall in love, it'll be with you
_____
If I fall in love, it'll be with you
_____
Of a dog, a nut, a thief
_____
Of what there was and maybe by now it'll be
_____
Remote past, found only lately
_____
I wasn't even half your age
_____
In the room most abandoned by God, I told myself
_____
'If I fall in love, it'll be with you
_____
If I fall in love, it'll be with you
