I don't understand how my subconscious

Still remembers the things I discarded

You keep winning, but I will try

To remember somehow

And I keep losing

All those games that I thought were won

That I would never, that I would never

Ever surrender again

I must say that all this time

I have been avoiding this moment

It feels like it's fiction

It feels like you are fiction

I know, I am not enough

I've already forgotten how to handle this

Let the show begin

Enjoy the show

I don't know what to do with these hands anymore

When I talk to you, I don't know what to do

You don't know where to look

So you see my hands, to free my eyes

I confess in your dream

That I was watching you

While you were sleeping

Touching your face is just another sign

That I'm not doing well

I must say that all this time

I have been avoiding this moment

It feels like it's fiction

It feels like you are fiction

I know, I am not enough

I've already forgotten how to handle this

Let the show begin

Enjoy the show

I must say that all this time

I have been avoiding this moment

It feels like it's fiction

It feels like you are fiction

I know, I am not enough

I've already forgotten how to handle this

Let the show begin

Enjoy the show

Yo no entiendo como el subconsciente

Aún recuerda las cosas que yo descarte

Vas venciendo, pero trataré

De alguna manera lo recordaré

Y sigo perdiendo

Todos aquellos juegos que yo aseguré

Que nunca, que nunca volvería

Volvería a ceder

Comento que todo el tiempo

He evitado este momento

Se siente que es ficción

Se siente que eres ficción

Yo sé, soy insuficiente

Ya olvidé como hacerle

Que empiece la función

Disfruten la función

Ya no sé qué hacer con estas manos

Cuando hablo contigo no sé qué hacer

Tú no sabes a dónde mirar

Entonces mis manos ves, para mis ojos librar

Confieso en tu sueño

Que yo te estaba viendo

Mientras dormías

Tu cara tocar es solo otra prueba

De que ando mal

Comento que todo el tiempo

He evitado este momento

Se siente que es ficción

Se siente que eres ficción

Yo sé, soy insuficiente

Ya olvidé como hacerle

Que empiece la función

Disfruten la función

Comento que todo el tiempo

He evitado este momento

Se siente que es ficción

Se siente que eres ficción

Yo sé, soy insuficiente

Ya olvidé como hacerle

Que empiece la función

Disfruten la función
