There's a woman sleeping in my living room
I just fell
The hours keep passing around me
I'm a prisoner of her skin
Even though time told me no
Even though it was the verb that got it wrong
I cannot be without breathing your voice
And even though it was your back who warned me
I was always the fool that got it wrong
I felt so alone in the middle of that living room
without breathing your voice
Now you see it was the song that was written backwards
You can see, I know
It wasn't the time to be dreaming of your lips
I will lie if they ask me if I have forgotten you
I will keep, once and forever
this song that tells the story of my defeat
my defeat
I tore apart every page that talked about us
I kept my part and agreed with you
And even if you don't know it, I saved my lines
Now I know time is on my side
I will forget your lips without being afraid
And even though I was the one who wanted this I was the one who lost
Now you see it was the song that was written backwards
You can see, I know
It wasn't the time to be dreaming of your lips
I will lie if they ask me if I have forgotten you
I will keep, once and forever
this song that tells the story of my defeat
my defeat
I've realised I was the one who was the mistake
In this fairytale the clock stopped ticking
And now there's nobody left to listen
