[English]

You look at me differently

You hug me, and I don't feel your warmth

I tell you what I feel

You interrupt me and finish the sentence

You're always right

Your usual script, so predictable

Yeah, I know it already

So run, run, run, heart

Of the two of us, you were always the fastest

Take everything you want, but leave now

Because I'm never going to give you my tears

So run as always, don't look back

You've already done it and I really don't care

I already lived this scene

And with much sorrow I tell you no, not with me

I said what I could, but halfway through

My heart stayed

Your usual script, so repetitive

It doesn't suit you anymore

So run, run, run, heart

Of the two of us, you were always the fastest

Take everything you want, but leave now

Because I'm never going to give you my tears

So run as always, I won't go after you

You've already done it and I really don't care

You, the same old dog with the same old tricks

Yeah, I know it already

So run, run, run, heart

Of the two of us, you were always the fastest

Take everything you want, but leave now

Because I'm never going to give you my tears

There have been so many goodbyes that in truth

Dedicating one more verse to you is unnecessary

So run as always, I won't go after you

You've already done it and I really don't care

You've already done it and I really don't care

You've already done it, but in the end I don't care

[Spanish]

Me miras diferente

Me abrazas y no siento tu calor

Te digo lo que siento

Me interrumpes y terminas la oración

Siempre tienes la razón

Tu, libreto de siempre tan predecible

Ya, ya me lo sé

Así que corre corre corre corazón

De los dos tú siempre fuiste el más veloz

Toma todo lo que quieras pero vete ya

Que mis lágrimas jamás te voy a dar

Así que corre como siempre no mires atrás

Lo has hecho ya y la verdad me da igual

Ya viví esta escena

Y con mucha pena te digo no, conmigo no

Di lo que podía, pero a media puerta

Se quedó mi corazón

Tu, libreto de siempre tan repetido

Ya no no te queda bien

Así que corre corre corre corazón

De los dos tu siempre fuiste el más veloz

Toma todo lo que quieras pero vete ya

Que mis lágrimas jamás te voy a dar

Así que corre como siempre que no iré detrás

Lo has hecho ya y la verdad me da igual

Tu, el perro de siempre los mismos trucos

Ya, ya me lo sé

Así que corre corre corre corazón

De los dos tu siempre fuiste el más veloz

Toma todo lo que quieras pero vete ya

Que mis lágrimas jamás te voy a dar

Han sido tantas despedidas que en verdad

Dedicarte un verso mas está de más

Así que corre como siempre que no iré detrás

Lo has hecho ya y la verdad me da igual

Lo has hecho ya y la verdad me da igual

Lo has hecho ya pero al final me da igual
