Still Remembering
As It Is Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As these nights are long
And I curse these spaces between my fingers
Where for a time you belonged
And you'll find somebody new who's worth your time
Someone whose words sound sweeter than mine
I'll hope to mend, trying my best just to get by
Is it remembering or forgetting?
The past that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering or forgetting?
I've kept your portrait framed within my mind
It remains untouched
Of new paints and brushes, yet
Still it changed over time
When you left, not without warning or regret
Nothing would fill this hole in my chest
Here's your farewell
I wish you nothing but the best
Can you tell me what hurts more
Is it remembering or forgetting?
The past that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering or forgetting?
So, my love, goodbye
So, my love, goodbye
Tell me what hurts more
Is it remembering or forgetting?
The past that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering?
Can you tell me what hurts more
Is it remembering or forgetting?
The past that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering?
Am I remembering, still remembering or forgetting?

Line by Line Meaning
My heart's as heavy
I feel deeply sad and burdened
As these nights are long
The long nights amplify my sadness
And I curse these spaces between my fingers
I regret the physical distance between us
Where for a time you belonged
There was a period where we were together and I miss that
And you'll find somebody new who's worth your time
I accept that you're moving on and finding love somewhere else
Someone whose words sound sweeter than mine
I acknowledge that I am not the best romantic partner for you
I'll hope to mend, trying my best just to get by
I am trying to heal and keep going
Can you tell me what hurts more
I need to know if it hurts more to remember you or forget you
Is it remembering or forgetting?
Which is the greater pain?
The past that once was ours
Our shared history that is now gone
Am I remembering, still remembering or forgetting?
I want to know where I stand in relation to our memories
I've kept your portrait framed within my mind
I still have a mental image of you
It remains untouched
The image has not changed
Of new paints and brushes, yet
Despite the passage of time
Still it changed over time
My memory of you has evolved
When you left, not without warning or regret
Your departure was difficult for me
Nothing would fill this hole in my chest
I feel a great emptiness inside
Here's your farewell
This is my goodbye to you
I wish you nothing but the best
I hope for your happiness
So, my love, goodbye
I am saying goodbye to you, my love
Tell me what hurts more
I am again asking which pain is greater
Am I remembering, still remembering or forgetting?
I am still uncertain about my feelings towards our shared past

My heart's as heavy,
As these nights are long,
And I curse these spaces between my fingers
Where for a time you belonged
And you'll find somebody new who's worth your time,
Someone who's words sound sweeter than mine
All that I meant,
Trying my best just to get by
Can you tell me what hurts more,
Is it remembering, or forgetting
The best that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering, or forgetting
I've kept your portrait, framed within my mind
It remains untouched of your paints and brushes that still changed over time
When you left, not without warning or regrets
Nothing would fill this hole in my chest,
Bid your farewell,
I wish you nothing but the best
Can you tell me what hurts more,
Is it remembering, or forgetting
The best that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering, or forgetting
So my love, goodbye
So my love, goodbye
Tell me what hurts more,
Is it remembering, or forgetting
The best that once was ours
Am I remembering, still remembering
Can you tell me what hurts more,is it rememberig

Alex Gaskarth's Eyebrows
Mi corazón es tan pesado como estas noches son largas
Y maldigo estos espacios entre mis dedos donde durante un tiempo prenteneciste
Y encontrarás a algiuen nuevo que vale tu tiempo
Alguien cuyas palabras suenan más dulces que las mías
Espero arreglar
Haciendo mi mejor esfuerzo para sobrevivir
Puedes decirme qué duele más; ¿es recordar u olvidar el pasado que una vez fue nuestro?
¿Estoy recordando, recordando todavía, o el olvido?
Ha mantenido enmarca el retrato dentro de mi mente
Permanece intacto de nuevas pinturas y pinceles y aún así se cambió con el tiempo
Cuando te fuiste, sin previously aviso o remordimientos
Nada podría llenar este agujero en mi pecho
Aquí está su despedida
Le deseo todo lo mejor
Por lo tanto, mi amor, adiós, por lo tanto, mi amor, adiós
Dimelo que duele más; ¿es recordar u olvidar el pasado que una vez fue nuestro?
¿Estoy recordando, recordando todavía?
Me puede decirlo que duele más; ¿es recordar u olvidar el pasado que una vez fue la nuestra?
¿Estoy recordando, recordando todavía, estoy recordando, recordando todavía, o el olvido?

I broke up with my long term boyfriend two days prior to this song release. I bawled my eyes out the first time I heard this track, and it would be incredible to hear live! This band, and this song in particular mean so much to me :)

Man, I remember listening to this song when it dropped in January, and not really thinking much of it. It was really good, and kind of sad, but I wasn't feeling it at the time. Now fast forward, me and my girlfriend parted ways and I came back to the song, and it really touched me and hit me so hard. I swear everything Patty was saying is what I felt, and cried. She's moved on now, and I'm still remembering.

The most touching part is wishing the other half all the best
