Maybe This Time

Evitas la mirada desaprobadora de tu papá.You avoid your daddy's disapproving eyes.
Tu silencio duele como una mentira de amante.Your silence hurts like a lover's lie.
Tu mamá camina en una línea tan frágil.Your mama walks such a fragile line.
Las lágrimas amarán, pero tú no lloras.The tears will love, but you don't cry.
Con una mano temblorosa te despides.With a trembling hand you wave goodbye.
Vas a tomar un avión hacia otra vida.Gonna catch a plane to another life.

Juraste esta vez,You swore this time,
No intentar tan duro complacer a todos.Wouldn't try so hard to please everyone.
Mientras surcas el cielo,As you streak across the sky,
Sientes la soledad acercándose.You feel the loneliness coming on.

Quizás esta vez él regrese contigo como prometió.Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Quizás esta vez tu estrella brille.Maybe this once your star will shine.
Quizás esta vez no rompa tu corazón.Maybe he won't break your heart this time.

Y toda tu vida has escuchado decirAnd all your life you've heard it said
Que nunca encajabas del todo,That you could never quite fit in,
Hasta que congelaste tu corazón,Till you froze your heart,
Actuaste como si no pudieras escucharlos.Acted like you couldn't hear them

Juraste esta vez,You swore this time,
No intentar tan duro complacerlo.Wouldn't try so hard to please him
Muestras un poco de orgullo,You show a little pride,
Pero al aterrizar te preguntas si realmente está esperando.But as you touch down you wonder if he's really waiting.

Oh, quizás esta vez él regrese contigo como prometió.Oh, maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Quizás esta vez tu estrella brille.Maybe this once your star will shine.
Quizás esta vez no rompa tu corazón.Maybe he won't break your heart this time.

Cierra los ojos, ves su rostro.Close your eyes, you see his face.
Escuchas su voz, saboreas su piel.Hear his voice, his skin you taste.
Demasiadas noches pasaste sola.Too many nights you spent alone.
Tus brazos solo buscando a alguien para abrazar.Your arms just reaching out for someone to hold.

Quizás esta vez él regrese contigo como prometió.Maybe this time he'll come back with you like he promised to.
Quizás esta vez tu estrella brille. (Quizás esta vez.)Maybe this once your star will shine. (Maybe this time.)
Quizás esta vez no rompa tu corazón.Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
Quizás esta vez no rompa tu corazón.Maybe he won't break your heart this time.
