As if hypnotized by habit We have decided to live the routine Of keeping on sleeping in the same bed But the truth is that we are scared And without realising, we are competing To see who says the last word And we do not want to be honest And accept that nothing is left any longer That the dream of waking up Together every morning no longer exists And that the days are leaving us Having not looked at each others face In order to be able to pretend As if nothing is happening to us But it is not true The flame has gone out now The fire that used to burn The magic that used to envelop us has gone Our love has ended Just as if it was nothing And I used to love you so much. The flame has gone out now There are no longer even ashes. Our fire is extinguished. Everything is over now Everything is over now We do not have conversations now Nor play at talking to each other like children Nor laugh. We do not even embrace each other now There is no ‘good day’ Not even out of politeness We do not touch each other now Nor dream of getting old together Nor think about (things of) the future. It is as if we were living unhappily
And I want to tell you That I do not want to live this lie And that I deserve a true love Let's end the agony Of an uncomfortable silence every day. This is not your fault Nor mine either. What is the use of trying it? It would not work. Although we are together You and me no longer make good company for each other. Tell me when we last celebrated Christmas together In love, excited, passionate. Even at night Each of us sleeps on their side of the bed. How sad that the flame has gone out for us.
