[English]

I don’t talk to my pillow anymore, no, no

It never answers me, nothing at all

It only talks about you

And it keeps me from sleeping

Your memory pierces me, va-va

Like a stab wound, ah-ah

So deep inside me

It can’t get out anymore

And sometimes I just want to leave and never come back

Don’t listen to me if I ever say

I don’t need you anymore

I always need you

And sometimes I just want to leave and never come back

Don’t listen to me if I ever say

I don’t need you anymore

I always need you

...

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

I’m jealous of the glass, the glass you drink from

Because you kiss it every time you take a sip

Everywhere I go, it feels like it’s raining

It doesn’t seem like it, but it hurts

I’m jealous of the glass, the glass you drink from

Because you kiss it every time you take a sip

Everywhere I go, it feels like it’s raining

It doesn’t seem like it, but

Sometimes I just want to leave and never come back

Don’t listen to me if I ever say

I don’t need you anymore

I always need you

And sometimes I just want to leave and never come back

Don’t listen to me if I ever say

I don’t need you anymore

I always need you

...

[Spanish]

Ya no hablo con la almohada, no, no

Nunca me contesta nada, nada

Solo me habla de ti

Y no me deja dormir

Tu recuerdo se me clava, va-va

Como una puñalada, ah-ah

Tan dentro de mí

Que ya no puede salir

Y a veces solo quiero irme sin volver

No me hagas caso nunca si te digo que

Yo ya no te necesito

Yo siempre te necesito

Y a veces solo quiero irme sin volver

No me hagas caso nunca si te digo que

Yo ya no te necesito

Yo siempre te necesito

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

Y tengo celos del vaso, del vaso que bebes

Porque le das un beso cada vez que bebes

Por los sitios que paso parece que llueve

Parece que no, pero duele

Tengo celos del vaso, del vaso que bebes

Porque le das un beso cada vez que bebes

Por los sitios que paso parece que llueve

Parece que no, pero

A veces solo quiero irme sin volver

No me hagas caso nunca si te digo que

Yo ya no te necesito

Yo siempre te necesito

Y a veces solo quiero irme sin volver

No me hagas caso nunca si te digo que

Yo ya no te necesito

Yo siempre te necesito
