How It Hurts

I got you the sunlight at midnight
And the number after infinity,
I placed the Big Dipper in your tiara
And you were still there as if nothing;

I sweetened the sea water for your thirst,
I rented you a waning room of the moon,
And like a good loser, I searched in bed
For the things that love couldn't solve

And how it hurts that you're so far away
Sleeping here in the same bed;
How much distance hurts,
Even though I hear you breathing
And you're hundreds of kilometers away.
And it hurts to love you so much,
Pretend that everything is perfect
While it hurts to spend life
Trying to locate
What was lost long ago...

I ended the gardens for your flowers,
I invented alchemy against utopia,
And I have come to confuse with tenderness,
The pity with which you sometimes look at me
How sad it is to assume suffering,
Pathetic is to believe in a lie,
Summoning the miracle elves,
To make you wake up in love.

And how it hurts that you're so far away
Sleeping here in the same bed;
How much distance hurts,
Even though I hear you breathing
And you're hundreds of kilometers away.
And it hurts to love you so much

Pretend that everything is perfect
While it hurts to spend life
Trying to locate
What was lost long ago
Why does so much distance hurt us,
Pretend that everything is perfect
While you feel that it hurts you,
Spending life sleeping here in the same bed
How it hurts
