I'm forgetting how your lips felt to kiss
I'm forgetting how your tongue turns and twists
And the contours of your face, with which my hands I had traced
From memory, you, I couldn't paint

I'm forgetting how you looked in the French sun
I'm forgetting how our voices sound as one
As we translate on the train another little phrase
In my head your voice is growing faint

And I don't think you know why I really let you go
No I don't think you could ever understand
What I sacrificed so you could get yourself right
I don't think you could ever understand

I'm forgetting how your eyes looked from the start
I'm forgetting where they turned dark and harsh
And at our bitter end you didn't want me as a friend
And oh my God I loved you more than life

I'm forgetting how my hands felt on your chest
I'm forgetting that there's not much of you left
And this engraved guitar strap, that's hanging from my back
Only the name I won't forget

And you said; You're the love of my life, can I please still make you my wife?
After our worst worst fight

And I hope you carry on, baby go, go get strong

And I hope that my love stays in your heart once I depart
