Where I No Longer Live

Donde Ya No Vivo

The streets remain the sameLas calles siguen iguales
But I don't walk the same wayPero yo no camino igual
The houses bear my nameLas casas guardan mi nombre
As if I were going to returnComo si fuera a regresar

The corner bar is openEl bar de la esquina abierto
The same neon lightLa misma luz de neón
But I'm no longer a customerPero ya no soy cliente
Of what I once wasDe lo que antes fui yo

It doesn't hurt as much as I thoughtNo duele como pensaba
It just feels strangeSolo se siente extraño
Like visiting a dreamComo visitar un sueño
That it's not entirely yours anymoreQue ya no es tuyo del todo

Because that placePorque ese lugar
Where I no longer liveDonde ya no vivo
It still lives in meTodavía vive en mí

He doesn't call me, he doesn't wait for meNo me llama, no me espera
He doesn't want to hold me backNo me quiere retener
It's just a memoryEs solo un recuerdo
That I learned to understandQue aprendí a entender

They ask if I miss the townPreguntan si extraño el pueblo
And I don't really know what to sayY no sé bien qué decir
I miss who was thereExtraño quién era ahí
Not the place itselfNo el lugar en sí

The mountains remain firmLas montañas siguen firmes
I learned to move around moreYo aprendí a moverme más
They take care of what I wasEllas cuidan lo que fui
I pursue what will comeYo persigo lo que vendrá

Not every return is possibleNo todo regreso es posible
Not all absence is betrayalNi toda ausencia es traición
Sometimes growing up meansA veces crecer significa
Change directionCambiar de dirección

Because that placePorque ese lugar
Where I no longer liveDonde ya no vivo
He taught me how to startMe enseñó a partir

Without hate, without promisesSin odio, sin promesas
Without looking back with resentmentSin mirar atrás con rencor
Only with certaintySolo con la certeza
That I am also the changeDe que el cambio también soy yo

Maybe if I come back somedayTal vez si vuelvo algún día
I won't know where to sleepNo sabré dónde dormir
Because I'm not from there anymorePorque ya no soy de allá
But not from here eitherPero tampoco de aquí

That placeEse lugar
Where I no longer liveDonde ya no vivo
It doesn't hurt me to rememberNo me duele recordar

It gave me deep rootsMe dio raíces profundas
So as not to fall againPara no volver a caer
Now I know who I wasAhora sé quién fui
To know who I will bePara saber quién seré
