Days pass but it doesn't count
I find it so hard to live
Drunk on this scent so different from yours
Worse, I've counted every minute that keeps me tied to her
As if I were my own prisoner
It's almost a year since he 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
I've changed address and number, though
I threw out your letters and your faults, though
I pretended I'd found the strength
I keep deep inside me
Everything about how you loved me
I'm trying to forget you with someone else
Time doesn't seem to erase your mistakes
I try but nothing helps, I can't, I don't want to
I can't do it, I don't love him like you
I'm trying to heal with another
Who tries in vain to make up for your mistakes
He seems so perfect but nothing works, I give up
I can't, I don't love him like you
Him, him, he tried to comfort me
Even if he doesn't have your words or your past
It's true but he lacks your taste for partying
For the night, for others, for everything I hate
She dried all my tears, you know
She picked up your broken pieces
And he paid all your debts, your impostures, your smears
Everything you left me
He loves me like crazy and knows me by heart
She tells me "I love you" sometimes for hours
But he doesn't smell like you
Why do I breathe you in in his arms
I'm trying to forget you with someone else
Time doesn't seem to erase your mistakes
I try but nothing helps, I can't, I don't want to
I can't do it, I don't love him like you
I'm trying to heal with another
Who tries in vain to make up for your mistakes
He seems so perfect but nothing works, I give up
I can't, I don't love him like you
