La Idea de Irme

The Idea of Leaving

La Idea de Irme

It wasn't sudden, it was slowNo fue de golpe, fue despacio
Like a crack in the wallComo una grieta en la pared
It started as a questionEmpezó siendo una pregunta
No one wanted to answerQue nadie quiso responder

Same streets, same scheduleLas mismas calles, mismo horario
The same voices as they passed byLas mismas voces al pasar
And something about her chest that doesn't fitY algo en el pecho que no encaja
When I imagine staying longerCuando imagino quedarme más

It's not that this place is too small for meNo es que este lugar me quede chico
It's just that I'm not the same anymoreEs que yo ya no soy igual
Something is pushing me from withinAlgo me empuja desde adentro
Even if I don't know where I'm goingAunque no sepa a dónde va

The idea of leaving doesn't bother meLa idea de irme no hace ruido
But it won't let me sleepPero no me deja dormir
It's not running away, nor is it forgettingNo es huir, tampoco olvido
It's about learning to followEs aprender a seguir

The idea of leaving comes to me on its ownLa idea de irme llega sola
When the day begins to fallCuando el día empieza a caer
I'm not leaving because I don't want toNo me voy porque no quiera
I'm leaving because I want to believeMe voy porque quiero creer

People say everything passesLa gente dice: Todo pasa
As if it were so normalComo si fuera tan normal
But some dreams don't waitPero hay sueños que no esperan
And they get tired of playingY se cansan de tocar

I've always looked at the skyMiro el cielo desde siempre
From the exact same angleDesde el mismo ángulo exacto
And I'm starting to think that maybeY empiezo a pensar que tal vez
The world is bigger than this paintingEl mundo es más grande que este cuadro

There is no betrayal in taking a stepNo hay traición en dar un paso
Nor is it a sin to move forwardNi pecado en avanzar
Sometimes staying stillA veces quedarse quieto
It's another way of abandoningEs otra forma de abandonar

The idea of leaving doesn't bother meLa idea de irme no hace ruido
But it won't let me sleepPero no me deja dormir
It's not running away, nor is it forgettingNo es huir, tampoco olvido
It's about learning to followEs aprender a seguir

The idea of leaving comes to me on its ownLa idea de irme llega sola
When the day begins to fallCuando el día empieza a caer
I'm not leaving because I don't want toNo me voy porque no quiera
I'm leaving because I want to believeMe voy porque quiero creer

If I ever miss everythingSi algún día extraño todo
Perhaps it was because it was realSerá porque fue real
But to stay foreverPero quedarse para siempre
It hurts in the end tooTambién duele al final

The idea of leaving no longer scares meLa idea de irme ya no asusta
Now he begins to breatheAhora empieza a respirar
I don't know what's on the other sideNo sé qué hay del otro lado
But here it's not the same anymorePero aquí ya no es igual

The idea of leaving is not a rejectionLa idea de irme no es rechazo
It is the beginning of understandingEs el principio de entender
Sometimes, to take care of what's oursQue a veces para cuidar lo nuestro
You have to dare to runHay que atreverse a correr
