What Does Forgetfulness Taste Like

A Qué Sabe El Olvido

What does forgetfulness taste like? Today they asked me¿A qué sabe el olvido? Hoy me preguntaron
And almost without thinking, I told them it tastes like your lipsY casi sin pensarlo les dije que a tus labios
I still haven't recovered and I can't get usedAún no me repongo ni puedo acostumbrarme
To not missing you so muchA no extrañarte tanto

What does forgetfulness taste like? To me it tastes like hangover¿A qué sabe el olvido? A mí me sabe a cruda
And a thousand sleepless nights, all your faultY a mil amanecidas, toditas culpa tuya
Almost forced kisses, seeking in other peopleA besos casi a fuerza, buscando en otras gentes
And finding you in noneY hallándote en ninguna

And what does forgetfulness taste like? What a stupid question¿Y a qué sabe el olvido? Qué estúpida pregunta
To me it tastes like you and that's what scares meA mí me sabe a ti y eso es lo que me asusta
No matter how much alcohol I drink, I can't healPor más alcohol que tome, no logro que me sane
The wound was deepLa herida fue profunda

And what does forgetfulness taste like, if not so much fear?¿Y a qué sabe el olvido, si no es que a tanto miedo?
Of not seeing you again, of no longer being your ownerDe no volverte a ver, de ya no ser tu dueño
Of waking up with someone thinking it's youDe despertar con alguien pensando que eres tú
Looking for you in their bodyBuscándote en su cuerpo

That's why if they ask: What does forgetfulness taste like?Por eso si preguntan: ¿A qué sabe el olvido?
I tell them it tastes like your kissesLes digo que a tus besos

Oh, painAy, dolor
How you hurtCómo dueles

And what does forgetfulness taste like? What a stupid question¿Y a qué sabe el olvido? Qué estúpida pregunta
To me it tastes like you and that's what scares meA mí me sabe a ti y eso es lo que me asusta
No matter how much alcohol I drink, I can't healPor más alcohol que tome, no logro que me sane
The wound was deepLa herida fue profunda

And what does forgetfulness taste like, if not so much fear?¿Y a qué sabe el olvido, si no es que a tanto miedo?
Of not seeing you again, of no longer being your ownerDe no volverte a ver, de ya no ser tu dueño
Of waking up with someone thinking it's youDe despertar con alguien pensando que eres tú
Seeing you in their bodyMirándote en su cuerpo

That's why if they ask: What does forgetfulness taste like?Por eso si preguntan: ¿A qué sabe el olvido?
I tell them it tastes like your kissesLes digo que a tus besos
