We Were Friends

Fuimos Amigos

Tardes de domingo
Y una peli a la mitad
Dos copas de vino
Y una historia que
No vamos a contar
Porque ya no es verdad
Dos viejos amigos
Y un avísame al llegar
Tan desconocidos
Que ya no saben amarse
Y como hablarse
Sin gritar

Aunque fuimos los mismos
Que ahora se odian
Fuimos dos niños
Que ahora se ignoran
Fuimos caminos
Que ahora se chocan
Fuimos amigos
Y ahora conocidos
Que no se dicen

Hola
Cenas en familia
Donde tú eras uno más
Llamadas perdidas
Y un mensaje que
No me atreví a enviar
Para no molestarte

Y sé que
Buscas cada día
Algo que te haga olvidar
El toda la vida
Que se nos cortó
Por la mitad
Que se rompió
Que no volvió
Que se escapó
Sin avisar

Aunque fuimos los mismos
Que ahora se odian
Fuimos dos niños
Que ahora se ignoran
Fuimos caminos
Que ahora se chocan
Fuimos amigos
Y ahora conocidos

Que no se dicen hola
Que no quieren hablar
Que prefieren mentirse
A decir la verdad
Y que se odian a ratos
Y se quieren matar
Y no saben quererse
Y no aprenden
Y vuelta a empezar

Hola
Y no quieren hablar
Que prefieren herirse
Antes de perdonar
Y que se odian a ratos
Pero se quieren más
Y que si un día hablasen
Todo el mundo sabe
Que volverían a empezar

Fuimos dos niños
Que ahora se ignoran
Fuimos caminos
Que ahora se chocan
Fuimos amigos
Y ahora conocidos
Que no se dicen hola

We Were Friends

Sunday afternoons
And a movie halfway through
Two glasses of wine
And a story that
We're not gonna tell
'Cause it’s not true anymore
Two old friends
And a text me when you get there
So unfamiliar
That they don’t know how to love each other
Or even talk
Without yelling

Even though we were the same
Now we hate each other
We were two kids
Now we ignore each other
We were paths
Now we collide
We were friends
And now we’re just acquaintances
Who don’t say

Hi
Family dinners
Where you were just one of us
Missed calls
And a message that
I didn’t dare to send
So I wouldn’t bother you

And I know that
You search every day
For something to help you forget
The whole life
That got cut
In half
That broke
That never came back
That slipped away
Without a word

Even though we were the same
Now we hate each other
We were two kids
Now we ignore each other
We were paths
Now we collide
We were friends
And now we’re just acquaintances

Who don’t say hi
Who don’t want to talk
Who prefer to lie to each other
Than to tell the truth
And they hate each other sometimes
And want to kill each other
And don’t know how to love
And don’t learn
And start all over again

Hi
And they don’t want to talk
Who prefer to hurt each other
Before forgiving
And they hate each other sometimes
But love each other more
And if one day they talked
Everyone knows
They’d start all over again

We were two kids
Now we ignore each other
We were paths
Now we collide
We were friends
And now we’re just acquaintances
Who don’t say hi
