Lyrics
My heart's as heavy
Expressing emotional burden or sorrow within the heart.
As these nights are long
Highlighting the prolonged and difficult nature of the nights.
And I curse these spaces between my fingers
Expressing a sense of loss and longing, missing someone's presence.
Where for a time you belonged
Reflecting on a period when the person belonged in the speaker's life.
And you'll find somebody new who's worth your time
Acknowledging the possibility of the person finding a new relationship.
Someone whose words sound sweeter than mine
Comparing the potential new partner's words to be more comforting.
I'll hope to mend, trying my best just to get by
Expressing the desire to heal and move forward despite challenges.
Can you tell me what hurts more
Pondering about the source of greater pain between remembering and forgetting.
Is it remembering or forgetting?
Raising the question of whether recalling or letting go is more painful.
The past that once was ours
Reflecting on a shared past that is no longer the speaker's alone.
Am I remembering, still remembering or forgetting?
Expressing uncertainty about whether the speaker is remembering or forgetting.
I've kept your portrait, framed within my mind
Maintaining a mental image of the person, unchanged but influenced by time.
It remains untouched of new paints and brushes, yet
Describing the preserved mental image without external alterations.
Still it changed over time
Noting the inevitable change in perception despite the preserved image.
When you left, not without warning or regret
Recalling the departure, emphasizing its sudden and impactful nature.
Nothing would fill this hole in my chest
Expressing the profound emotional void left after the departure.
Here's your farewell
Offering a farewell wish to the departed person.
I wish you nothing but the best
Expressing goodwill despite the emotional pain of separation.
Can you tell me what hurts more
Reiterating the query about the comparative pain of remembering and forgetting.
Is it remembering or forgetting?
Posing the question of whether the act of remembering or forgetting is more agonizing.
The past that once was ours
Reflecting on a shared past that is now a distant memory.
Am I remembering, still remembering or forgetting?
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's mental state, whether remembering or forgetting.
So, my love, goodbye
Conveying a final farewell to the departed love.
So, my love, goodbye
Repeating the farewell as a poignant parting sentiment.
Tell me what hurts more
Asking again about the comparative pain of remembering and forgetting.
Is it remembering or forgetting?
Pondering on the emotional weight of recalling versus letting go.
The past that once was ours
Reflecting on a past that was once shared but is now distant.
Am I remembering, still remembering?
Expressing uncertainty about whether the speaker is still remembering or in the process of forgetting.
Can you tell me what hurts more
Posing once again the question of the comparative pain of remembering and forgetting.
Is it remembering or forgetting?
Reiterating the contemplation of the emotional toll of recalling or letting go.
The past that once was ours
Reflecting on a shared past that has now become a distant memory.
