You're under my skin

Days go by, but it doesn’t count
It’s so hard for me to live
Drunk with this perfume that’s so different from yours, worse
I’ve counted every minute that holds me back with her
As if I was my own prisoner
Almost a year has passed since she saved me from you
I often wonder where I would be, without you
I often wonder what you’re doing
Where are you, who are you
Get out of my thoughts!
I changed my address, my phone number, thanks
I threw away your letters and your flaws, even though…
I pretended I was strong enough
Deep down in me, I keep
Everything you left me
 
I’m trying to forget you with someone else
Time can’t erase your defects
I try, but it’s no use
I can’t, I don’t want to, I don’t get to
I don’t love her the way I love you
I try to heal my wounds with someone else
She’s trying to compensate for your defaults in vain
 
She seems so perfect, but it’s no use
I can’t, I don’t want to, I don’t get to
I don’t love her the way I love you
 
She tried to comfort me
Even though she doesn’t have your words or your past, that’s true
But she doesn’t like to party the way you do
Nor the nightlife or everyone else
And everything I hate
She dried all my tears, you know
She picked up the pieces your left
She mended everything, your debts
Everything you faked, everything you crossed out
Everything you left me
Everything you left me
 
She loves me like crazy
She knows me by heart
She tells me “I love you”
For hours sometimes
But she doesn’t smell like you
Why do I breathe you in her arms?
Get out of my thoughts
Get out of my thoughts
