[English]

If only you could understand

A thousand times I’ll explain it to you again

You’re so good at pretending you’re okay

Avoiding extra words, making up excuses

Being able to touch you, I can’t stop

I swear I just can’t stop

If I hadn’t said “hi” to you

We’d never have to say goodbye

You don’t deserve me, I’m too much for your heart

This argument won’t lead to anything

Because you’re not even trying a little

Let me (let me!), let me speak my mind

...

We have a date in the operating room

The doctor will come, perform surgery on me

He’ll take out my heart, a heart transplant

There goes my pain

...

You told lies, do you know why?

It’s something I’ve always wanted to know

I’ll invent some punishment to make you suffer

Things won’t stay this way

Let me make you suffer, please

Because love doesn’t exist

...

We have a date in the operating room

The doctor will come, perform surgery on me

He’ll take out my heart, a heart transplant

There goes my pain

...

Steal my pain

I want you to know what it feels like

So you’ll beg me for forgiveness (forgiveness!)

We have a date in the operating room

The doctor will come, perform surgery on me

He’ll take out my heart, a heart transplant

There goes my pain (pain!)

Heart transplant

There goes my pain

...

[Spanish]

Si tan solo pudieras entender

Mil veces te lo explicaré otra vez

Eres tan buena pretendiendo que estás bien

Evitar palabras de más, excusas inventar

Poderte tocar, no puedo parar

Te juro que yo no puedo parar

Si "hola" no te hubiera dicho yo

Jamás tendríamos que decir adiós

No me mereces, yo soy mucho para tu corazón

Esta discusión a nada llegará

Pues no haces ni el mínimo esfuerzo

Déjame (¡déjame!), déjame opinar

Tenemos una cita en el quirófano

Vendrá el doctor, me aplicará cirugía

Me sacará el corazón, trasplante de corazón

Ahí te va mi dolor

Mentiras dijiste, sabe ¿por qué?

Es algo que siempre he querido saber

Inventaré algún castigo para hacerte sufrir

Las cosas no se van a quedar así

Permíteme hacerte sufrir, por favor

Pues no existe el amor

Tenemos una cita en el quirófano

Vendrá el doctor, me aplicará cirugía

Me sacará el corazón, trasplante de corazón

Ahí te va mi dolor

Róbame el dolor

Quiero que sepas qué se siente

Para que me pidas perdón (¡perdón!)

Tenemos una cita en el quirófano

Vendrá el doctor, me aplicará cirugía

Me sacará el corazón, trasplante de corazón

Ahí te va mi dolor (¡dolor!)

Trasplante de corazón

Ahí te va mi dolor
