Hot coffee in the morning
won't heal the pain
nor surely self-esteem
as bitter as this outlook
as bitter as a kiss
to which doesn't follow a "stay a bit longer"
and so I go back to school
too many are those things
that I still haven't learnt
and dessert1 for a break
after a year of struggling
Sweetheart, I promise for life
of not loving you like [I used to] before
not comforting you like [I used to] before
craving you like [I did] back then
like an hour ago
and don't hate me like [you do] now
don't consume me like [you do] now
we're farther apart than [we used to be] back then, lalalala
and I had a vice, I admit
I would play with your mood
that then I would get on myself
supposing that2
I had misunderstood
a nail3 is still a nail
even when it's hanging4
those have been moments
of lips and teeth
seas of lies
and seas of intents
my love
listen, if you can hear me
I promise
of not loving you like [I used to] before
not comforting you like [I used to] before
craving you like [I did] back then
like an hour ago
and don't hate me like [you do] now
don't consume me like [you do] now
we're farther apart than [we used to be] back then, lalalala
and the worst has come at the end
the rose has shown its thorns
on your side, no compassion
I promise
of not loving you like [I used to] before
not comforting you like [I used to] before
craving you like [I did] back then
like an hour ago
and don't hate me like [you do] now
don't consume me like [you do] now
we're farther apart than [we used to be] back then, lalalala
1. or sweet(adj)? I can't really understand what she means here2. literally: admitting and not conceding that...3. meaning that iron tool that is similar to a screw used to nail things to the wall. 4. no idea what she means here.
