[English]

I put on a white dress

And I just said yes

And you, you haven't noticed I'm here

Paint your lips red

Dressed in a corset

And you, you haven't noticed I'm here

I'm here, I am here

And I'm here, loving you

Why did you turn so cold?

What turned off your heart?

And still, you haven't noticed I'm here

I'm here, I'm here

And I'm here, loving you

Look, I know we're trying

And this silence is killing us

And I'm here, loving you

I'm here, I'm here

What's wrong, what's wrong I need to know

What's wrong, what's wrong I need to know

I'm here

What's wrong, what's wrong I need to know

What's wrong, what's wrong I need to know

[Spanish]

I put on a white dress

And I just said yes

Y tú, you haven't noticed I'm here

Pinta labios red

Vestida en corset

Y tú, you haven't noticed I'm here

I'm here, I am here

Y yo aquí, amándote

Why did you turn so cold?

What turned off tu corazón?

And still, you haven't noticed I'm here

I'm here, I'm here

Y yo aquí, amándote

Mira yo sé que lo estamos intentando

Y es que este silencio nos está matando

Y yo aquí amándote

I'm here, I'm here

What's wrong, what's wrong I need to know

What's wrong, what's wrong I need to know

I'm here

What's wrong, what's wrong I need to know

What's wrong, what's wrong I need to know

Key Grammar Structures

• Y tú, you haven't noticed I'm here

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense (Negative)

  ➔ The Present Perfect expresses an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance in the present. The negative form 'haven't noticed' indicates that the action of noticing has *not* happened up to now. The use of 'you' directly addresses the listener.

• Pinta labios red
