El intento

The Attempt

El intento

I sailed the seas of the love of my lifeSurqué el amor de mi vida por tus mares
Lost my way at the helm waiting for youPerdí el rumbo del timón por esperarte
You couldn't talk about what was hurting youNo eras capaz de hablar de lo que te pasaba
And look how much I loved you, I kissed the ground you walked onY mira que te amé, besaba el suelo que pisabas

And I couldn't see the spark in meY no lograba ver el brillo en mí
I was the one who had to decideEra yo la que tenía que decidir
The fear I had and the pain you caused meEl miedo que tenía y el daño que me hacías
Made me leave this placeHizo que me marchara de aquí

For not telling me what hurt you so muchPor no contarme lo que te dolía tanto
We both know neither of us was a saintYa sabemos que ninguno ha sido un santo
For lying to yourself all the timePor mentirte a ti mismo todo el rato
You only sketched your worst portraitDibujaste solo tu peor retrato
For never being able to arrive on timePor no poder llegar jamás a tiempo
And not knowing how to say sorry in the momentY no saber pedir perdón en el momento
You were the attempt of the attemptFuiste el intento del intento
And it shows when I lieY a mí se me nota cuando miento

You talked all the time about the futureHablabas todo el rato del futuro
And your past crashed you against a wallY tu pasado te estrellaba contra un muro
I let it slide that you forgot something impossibleDejé pasar que se olvidara algo imposible
You can't love when you're invisibleNo se puede amar cuando eres invisible

And I couldn't see the spark in youY no lograba ver el brillo en ti
I was the one who had to decideEra yo la que tenía que decidir
The fear you had and the pain you caused meEl miedo que tenías y el daño que me hacías
Made me leave this placeHizo que me marchara de aquí

For not telling me what hurt you so muchPor no contarme lo que te dolía tanto
We both know neither of us was a saintYa sabemos que ninguno ha sido un santo
For lying to yourself all the timePor mentirte a ti mismo todo el rato
You only sketched your worst portraitDibujaste solo tu peor retrato
For never being able to arrive on timePor no poder llegar jamás a tiempo
And not knowing how to say sorry in the momentY no saber pedir perdón en el momento
You were the attempt of the attemptFuiste el intento del intento
And it shows when I lieY a mí se me nota cuando miento

You were the attempt of the attemptFuiste el intento del intento
And it shows when I lieY a mí se me nota cuando miento
