Just like every other night, I think about you
I wonder what I'm doing here,
Alone in this great mess
Just like every other night, I think about you
But will you come home late?
Just like every other night, I don't know
In fact, every passing night
Is a night tearing us apart
Just like every other night, I lose face
It really is stronger than me
When you arrive, there is no trace left
Of that hatred I have inside of me
But will you say it to my face?
How much you love that girl,
How much you love when she embraces you,
And how much you don't love me
Just like every other night, I pretend
Not to see on your face
That you feel1 her when you feel me,
That you see her when you travel
I pretend not to hear it
When you call her in your sleep
I pretend not to understand
I pretend I am still the same
Just like every other night, I will go to sleep
In that great bed in which you are not
Just like every other night, I will go and die
To come back to life in your arms
Why do I love you more than I love myself?
And why don't you love me?
Just like every other night, I still stay here
And what if you did not come home?
