The last one

Verse 1 Your name was whispered to me by the wind Like a season I no longer live in I learned your hands were holding another hand But that they still trembled a little Verse 2 She walks beside you without knowing That your heart walks in slow steps I left love bruised on your ribs And now you breathe carefully Pre-Chorus Before me, you gave yourself without measure After me, you love while apologizing Chorus She will never have that way of loving The one that shone in your silences I crumpled it between two lies And I live with that immense absence Verse 3 I know she teaches you how to smile again That she gathers the days that fall But she doesn’t know the warmth You gave when you loved without fear Pre-Chorus 2 I taught you to doubt While you offered me faith Chorus She will never have that look The one that lit up your whole body I put it out through too many absences And it’s my sorrow I still carry Bridge (slow, sensory) If she rests her head on your shoulder And your heart beats softer It’s the trace of my mistakes Still sleeping under your skin Final Chorus (light, broken) I’m the one who loved too late And badly, and without knowing how to keep you She is the one who loves you after In a heart that no longer knows how to burn the same way Outro I watch you love with less fire And I know that ash is me
