Mitad de Whisky

Half a Bottle Of Whiskey

Mitad de Whisky

Halfway through the whiskyA la mitad del whisky
I always feel drawn to the truthSiempre me da por la verdad
I remember your handsMe acuerdo de tus manos
Bringing order to my anxietyPoniendo orden en mi ansiedad

I loved you in my own wayYo te quise a mi manera
Bad unequal measureMal medida desigual
How a broken man wants itComo quiere un hombre roto
That he didn't learn to restQue no aprendió a descansar

And now apologies are unnecessaryY ahora sobran las disculpas
Where the ability to love was lackingDonde faltó saber amar
There are mistakes that don't screamHay errores que no gritan
But they still break youPero te parten igual

Halfway through the whiskyA la mitad del whisky
You sit down here againVuelves a sentarte aquí
The way he looked at meCon esa forma de mirarme
That doesn't let me lieQue no me deja mentir
Halfway through the whiskyA la mitad del whisky
I understand what I lostEntiendo lo que perdí
You weren't the one asking for so muchNo eras tú pidiendo tanto
It was me, not knowing how to loveEra yo sin saber amar

The city closes its doorsLa ciudad cierra persianas
And my guilt opens a blues songY mi culpa abre un blues
Your coat in my memoryTu abrigo en mi memoria
Keep turning off my lightSigue apagándome la luz

I wanted to beat fateQuise ganarle al destino
With pride and a bad moodCon orgullo y mal humor
But love doesn't lastPero el amor no se sostiene
Only with hunger and heatSolo con hambre y calor

If time takes you far awaySi el tiempo te lleva lejos
I'm not going to argue with himNo le voy a discutir
There are people who leaveHay personas que se van
To teach you how to measurePara enseñarte a medir

Halfway through the whiskyA la mitad del whisky
You sit down here againVuelves a sentarte aquí
The way he looked at meCon esa forma de mirarme
That doesn't let me lieQue no me deja mentir
Halfway through the whiskyA la mitad del whisky
I understand what I lostEntiendo lo que perdí
You weren't the one asking for so muchNo eras tú pidiendo tanto
It was me, not knowing how to loveEra yo sin saber amar

And when the glass reaches zeroY cuando el vaso queda en cero
It's my turn to listen to myselfMe toca escucharme a mí
