Every part of my body learned to forget you
My skin, when it touched another skin, forgot all about you
My mouth hasn’t regained the urge to kiss you
My eyes slept peacefully without thinking of you

Not depending on you, I’ve already done it
But among a thousand nights, there’s one where I wake up
With the urge to call
To try again
To pull you from the shadows
Because you hurt like no one else has hurt me

I shouldn’t have left
I’m usually the strong one
But there are nights when luck’s not on my side
99% of me has already forgotten you
But there’s that 1% where you and I still exist

Yeah, it took me a few years, but I’ve learned
Not to break in two when I think of you
I’ve become an expert at practicing the art of forgetting you

And little by little, I’m able to visit our spots
With different people, I’m still making our plans
Because that 1% doesn’t want to let me separate from you

On nights like this
I find myself thinking about what I shouldn’t anymore
In one of a thousand nights, I imagine you’re mine
In one of a thousand nights, I wake up
With the urge to call
To try again
To pull you from the shadows
Because you hurt like no one else has hurt me

I shouldn’t have left
I’m usually the strong one
But there are nights when luck’s not on my side
99% of me has already forgotten you
But there’s that 1% where you and I still exist
But there’s that 1% where you and I still exist
But there’s that 1% where you and I still exist
