Before You Were Born
How can it happen that every time
You ask us this question the answer seems like a lie?
You know what we're saying and you know what it means
And it's always sincere, God knows
But it never gets through to where you need
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here anymore
God damn the people who left you in pain
God damn the father, without face, without name
God damn the lovers who never showed up
And God damn the wounds that show how deep a word can cut
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here, stay back where you belong
And how can it happen, now that you know the cause
That nothing is changing and everything's wrong?
But pain is the healing, and the tears sting like alcohol
Just keep on their breathing
We'll help you down the long, long road back home
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
You are not wanted here anymore
Antes de que nacieras
¿Cómo puede ser que cada vez
Que nos haces esta pregunta la respuesta parezca una mentira?
Sabes lo que decimos y sabes lo que significa
Y siempre es sincero, Dios lo sabe
Pero nunca llega a donde lo necesitas
Antes de que nacieras alguien derribó la puerta
No hay lugar para ti aquí, quédate donde perteneces
Antes de que nacieras alguien derribó la puerta
Ya no eres bienvenido aquí
Malditos sean los que te dejaron en dolor
Maldito sea el padre, sin rostro, sin nombre
Malditos sean los amantes que nunca aparecieron
Y malditas sean las heridas que muestran lo profundo que puede cortar una palabra
Antes de que nacieras alguien derribó la puerta
No hay lugar para ti aquí, quédate donde perteneces
Antes de que nacieras alguien derribó la puerta
No eres bienvenido aquí, quédate donde perteneces
Y cómo puede ser, ahora que conoces la causa
Que nada cambia y todo está mal?
Pero el dolor es la cura, y las lágrimas arden como alcohol
Solo sigue respirando
Te ayudaremos en el largo, largo camino de regreso a casa
Antes de que nacieras alguien derribó la puerta
No hay lugar para ti aquí, quédate donde perteneces
Antes de que nacieras alguien derribó la puerta
Ya no eres bienvenido aquí
