Ternura

Tenderness
It's been so long since I heard from you
I've grown old waiting for the moment
To find you again... tenderness

If you only knew how much I missed you
How many nights I spent wide awake
Calling you back
Everything's so different since you’ve been gone
Nothing has brought back that connection
Today I can find a quick moment of love
A love that's empty and cold without hope
Yeah, it's a mystery, yeah, it's nerve-wracking, feels so unnatural
Tenderness, if you could only imagine
The emptiness I hold in my hands
And how clumsy they are
I can't find that music that was your voice
When you talked about simple things
And I didn't want to listen
I was so ignorant, I didn't understand
The value of a kiss, and I threw it all away
I tried to be a man in a bigger bed
And lost the only thing that mattered
You, tenderness, your caresses, all your warmth
Forgive me... I don’t know... if you’re still the same
It's possible that time has changed you
Pain and age... don’t talk to me
Because I wish... to remember you like this
I’d rather call you tenderness
And never see you again.
