Un problema menos

One Less Problem

Un problema menos

I know they think without speakingSé que piensan sin hablar
That I'm more of a hindrance than a helpQue estorbo más que ayudar
And that I'm just a problemY que soy solo un problema
And that because of my way of beingY que por mi forma de ser
I only manage to hinderSolo logro entorpecer
Their hopes and their goalsSus anhelos y sus metas

I'm a conflict, it seems to be the verdictSoy un conflicto, parece ser el veredicto
And that I'm addicted to complicating situationsY que a complicar las situaciones soy adicto
A burden that weighs, and that weight must be enduredUna carga que pesa, y ese peso hay que sufrir
They don't tell me, but they make me feel itNo me lo dicen, pero me lo hacen sentir

I'm the fly in their soup, I'm the moth in their clothesSoy la mosca en su sopa, soy la polilla en su ropa
The wind that never blows in their favorEl viento que nunca les sopla en la popa
I'm the scar that embarrasses and makes them hide their facesSoy la cicatriz que avergüenza y hace esconder sus caras
I'm their secrets published on the front pageSoy sus secretos publicados en primera plana

And the day I have to go far awayY el día que tenga que irme lejos
And end up only in dreamsY pase a estar solamente en sueños
It may or may not be a comfortPodrá servir o no de consuelo
That at least I'll be one less problemQue al menos seré un problema menos
One less problem, one less problemUn problema menos, un problema menos

I'm the obstacle to overcomeSoy el obstáculo a salvar
The excuse they usually useLa excusa que suelen usar
To hide their disappointmentsPara ocultar sus decepciones
I'm what they try to hideSoy lo que intentan esconder
The mirror they don't want to seeEl espejo en que no quieren ver
All their frustrationsTodas sus frustraciones

I can smell their fear in the face of my disobediencePuedo olfatearles el miedo ante mis desacatos
I've known for a while that I'm the thorn in their sideHace rato sé que soy la piedra en sus zapatos
And my defense seems somewhat strangeY mi alegato parece algo extraño
We are hurt by those who love us, not by those who want to hurt usNos hace daño quien nos quiere y no quien quiere hacernos daño

They see my flaws under a microscopeVen mis defectos con microscopio
They see the speck in someone else's eye and not the log in their ownVen el pelo en ojo ajeno y no el ladrillo en el propio
And if my presence bothers them to endureY si les molesta aguantar mi presencia
Then if I don't shine, my absence willEntonces si no brillo yo, brillará mi ausencia

And the day I have to go far awayY el día que tenga que irme lejos
And end up only in dreamsY pase a estar solamente en sueños
It may or may not be a comfortPodrá servir o no de consuelo
That at least I'll be one less problemQue al menos seré un problema menos
One less problem, one less problemUn problema menos, un problema menos

And the day I have to go far awayY el día que tenga que irme lejos
And end up only in dreamsY pase a estar solamente en sueños
It may or may not be a comfortPodrá servir o no de consuelo
That at least I'll be one less problemQue al menos seré un problema menos

One less problem, one less problemUn problema menos, un problema menos
One less problem, one less problemUn problema menos, un problema menos
One less problem, one less problemUn problema menos, un problema menos
One less problem, one less problemUn problema menos, un problema menos
