No Me Alcanza

Not Enough for Me

No Me Alcanza

Every wall, every rampartCada pared, cada muralla
Hardens as soon as it touches meSe cuaja en cuanto me roza
A blade pierces my throatSe clava un filo en mi garganta
Fear surrounded in my mouthEl miedo cercado en mi boca

I put my skin to shield myselfPongo mi piel para escudarme
It toughens when it bleedsSe me hace dura cuando sangra
A misstep in the sandUn paso en falso en la arena
And I'm markedY quedo marcada

Just when I thoughtJusto cuando pensé
It wouldn't happen againQue no volvería a pasar
I tear from my bodyMe arranco del cuerpo
The echo of your fingersEl eco de tus dedos
(That embraced me)(Que me abrazaban)

Oh, I don't know howAy, no sé cómo
But it always goes wrong for mePero siempre me sale mal
I wash hope off my chestMe lavo del pecho la esperanza
(That I had left)(Que me quedaba)

I remain stuck among the bramblesSigo estancada entre la zarza
In the lie behind the screenEn la mentira tras el biombo
I who thought that eventuallyYo que pensaba que a la larga
I would cover myself with your blanketIba a cubrirme con tu manta

I opened my voice to calm downTe abrí mi voz para calmarme
I kiss you in all my thoughtsTe beso en todas mis ideas
And even though I hug you from afarY aunque te abrazo a la distancia
I want to lie to myselfQuiero mentirme

Just when I thoughtJusto cuando pensé
It wouldn't happen againQue no volvería a pasar
I tear from my bodyMe arranco del cuerpo
The echo of your fingersEl eco de tus dedos

(That embraced me)(Que me abrazaban)
Oh, I don't know howAy, no sé cómo
But it always goes wrong for mePero siempre me sale mal
I wash hope off my chestMe lavo del pecho la esperanza

(That I had left)(Que me quedaba)
I extend all my rootsExtiendo todas mis raíces
And now you're leavingY ahora te vas
I clean the space you filledMe limpio el espacio que llenabas
(And now I miss)(Y que ahora me falta)

Oh, I don't know howAy, no sé cómo
But I always stay behindPero siempre me quedo atrás
I unleash the love I kept for youDesato el amor que te guardaba
I'm not enoughYa no me alcanza
