Dueles Tanto

I keep you in the smoke of the coffee that's gone cold
In the broken mirror where your laughter got lost
My fingers still remember how you trembled when you sang
And the silence you left, I just can't bear

Sorry if I was a coward, if my promises shattered like glass
But every night you come back, like a shadow, like salt

You hurt so much, with your stormy eyes and your sweetness like brown sugar
You hurt so much, because the love I gave you never knew how to say: Enough already
And even if time wrinkles me, and the world forgets us
You still are the verse that my soul can't finish

I found your picture among letters never sent
Your scent still lingers, I can't erase it
The Moon spies on us from that balcony in April
Where we swore eternity, and the future let us down

Sorry if I was absent, if my arms turned into loneliness
But every dawn, you embrace me mercilessly

You hurt so much, with your stormy eyes and your sweetness like brown sugar
You hurt so much, because the love I gave you never knew how to say: Enough already
And even if time wrinkles me, and the world forgets us
You still are the verse that my soul can't finish

They say that forgetting heals, but I, I prefer to remember you badly
With open wounds, and my heart in checkmate

You hurt so much, with your December fire and your woman's cry
You hurt so much, because loving you was my heaven, and my prison too
And if one day they bury me, engrave this on my cross
Here lies a madman, who died for your light

You hurt so much, always, you
