Faira - Best Listener

I wasn’t sure I made the right choice
Leaving you felt so wrong
And we tried the best we could
Life always goes on

Nothing here seems possible enough
To get over what we had
Noone knows the weirdness of your love
Better than the one who wrote this song

I’m not trying to forget anything
I’m rather trying remembering
That I’d already missed you
Before you were gone

Who’s ever sure to make a right choice
Even when just ordering
When the appetite is lost
Life still goes on

When I decided to see you as a bear
curled up in its’ winter sleep
Me the bird forgot to flap its’ wings
In the cold

noone keeps a mystery alive
Like you when you’re just saying hi
When you bow out you wish us all a good life
As though you’re ready for a last goodbye

I want to call you the riddle of my life
But knowing there’s no solving

I try to at least be near you enough
to receive any puzzle you’d like to
propose and by being your best listener
I’m keeping you close
