Siento que me desconoces

I feel like you don't know me

Siento que tocarme

I feel like touching me

Ahora te dé igual

Now you don't care

(Te da igual)

(You don't care)

Cada vez hay más temores

Every time there are more fears

Crece como hiedra la inseguridad

It grows like ivy - insecurity

Y me lastima ver que intentas rescatar

And it hurts me to see that - you try to rescue

Lo que un día

What once

En el alma nos unía

United us in the soul

Ya no está

Is no longer there

Aunque estás

Even though you are

Es momento de afrontar la realidad

It's time to face - reality

Tú me quieres, pero yo te amo

You want me, - but I love you

Esa es la verdad

That's the truth

Tu presencia aquí me está matando

Your presence here - is killing me

Sentirte a la mitad

Feeling you halfway

Me he cansado de intentar y no lograr

I'm tired - of trying and not succeeding

Que te vuelva a enamorar

To make you fall in love again

Sé que no me quieres lastimar

I know you don't - want to hurt me

Pero tengo que soltarte

But I have to let you go

Hoy te dejo en libertad

Today I set you free

Se han perdido los colores
