I feel you less
Yes, a little bit less today
I don't pretend I could ever embrace
More than the weak day of your grace
But on the saturdays of your empty space

You're hard to place
Where everything I want to have
(I have)
And everything I need is waiting
And still there is a certain sadness
Because none of it will ever last
For all we know, it ends in pain
(in pain)
And all we ever share is secret
Is every kiss I give to you
The promise of a certain sadness

I miss you less
Yes, a little bit less today
I don't pretend you could ever comprehend
But the broken pieces aren't ment to mend
But on the saturdays when our shadows bend

I feel you less
Yes, a little bit less today
I don't pretend I could ever embrace
More than the weak day of your grace
But on the saturdays of your empty space

You're hard to place
Where everything I want to have
(I have)
And everything I need is waiting
And still there is a certain sadness
Because none of it will ever last
For all we know, it ends in pain
(in pain)
And all we ever share is secret
Is every kiss I give to you
The promise of a certain sadness
