I'm tired of faking, telling myself I'm fine
I'm tired of pretending that I've let you out of my mind
Though the mornings got easier, the moments are far and few
It's those little moments I smile 'cause I'm thinking of you
And it's been so long, so long
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna forget about you
I make love to your memory
Rather than any lover that comes my way
'Cause winter's gone and now flowers bloom
Still I don't wanna, I don't wanna forget
Sittin' and waiting for miracles to come
The days pass like minutes and I know you're not alone
I should try to let go and find some new lips to kiss
My mind remains sealed like a fortress
'Cause baby it's yours that I miss
And though it's been so long, so long
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna forget about you
I make love to your memory
Rather than any lover that comes my way
'Cause winter's gone and now flowers bloom
Still I don't wanna, I don't wanna forget
Dicen que nuevos amores te quitan el dolor
They say new loves take away your pain
Yo prefiero amarte de nuevo en mi imaginación
I'd rather love you again in my imagination
Sé que es una locura seguir esperándote
I know it's crazy to keep waiting for you
Pero nada me queda si pierdo también la fe
But I have nothing left if I lose my faith too
Y tanto tiempo ya pasó
And so much time has already passed
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna forget about you
I make love to your memory
Rather than any lover that comes my way
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna forget about you
I make love to your memory
Rather than any lover that comes my way
