[English]

Look at me

today I don't want to ask for forgiveness

I will be the one to keep silent,

I'm just going to listen.

Because when we speak, I recognize

your coldness

it's something that feels familiar now

even though you'll deny it

I know it

and if I get the chance

I will ask for a little more

of your attention

You see, I'm no good at hating

I never get tired of waiting

for a little more

With you, I'll live a slave to my doubts

Without you, my world of madness will return

With you, I'll forget the ghosts of the past

Without you, I'll be lost if you aren't by my side

If you aren't here

I didn't find a motive

a reason

that would work for your heart

I cannot soothe it

this argument leaves a bitter taste

I don't care what the mistake was

I don't want to go on

like this

I tried not to be your downfall

and if it hurts, it wasn't me

who caused the offense

but now, if I have to beg

this is the opportunity

to start over

With you, I'll live a slave to my doubts

Without you, my world of madness will return

With you, I'll forget the ghosts of the past

Without you, I'll be lost if you aren't by my side

I'll end up with you, you can throw it all away

Without you, I will die, drowning in this mud

With you, once and for all, I will feel trapped

Without you, I won't have everything you've given me

If you aren't here...

I won't stay

With you, I'll live a slave to my doubts

Without you, my world of madness will return

With you, I'll forget the ghosts of the past

Without you, I'll be lost if you aren't by my side

I'll end up with you, you can throw it all away

Without you, I will die, drowning in this mud

With you, once and for all, I will feel trapped

Without you, I won't have everything you've given me

If you aren't here...

I don't want to go on

like this

no

If you aren't here,

if you aren't here,

if you aren't here, I will be lost

[Spanish]

Miramé

hoy no quiero pedir perdón

el silencio lo pongo yo,

sólo voy a escuchar.

porque al hablar reconozco

tu frialdad

eso es algo ya familiar

aunque lo negarás

lo sé

y si tengo la oportunidad

pediré un poco más

de tu atención

ya lo ves no sirvo para odiar

no me canso de esperar

un poco más

Contigo viviré esclavo de mis dudas

sin ti regresará mi mundo de locura

contigo olvidaré fantasmas del pasado

sin ti me perderé si no estás a mi lado

si tú no estás

no encontré un motivo

una razón

que le sirva a tu corazón

no lo puedo calmar

mal sabor que nos deja esta discusión

no me importa cual fue el error

yo no quiero seguir

así

intenté no ser tu perdición

y si duele no fui yo

quien ofendió

ahora bien si tengo que rogar

esta es la oportunidad

para empezar

Contigo viviré esclavo de mis dudas

sin ti regresará mi mundo de locura

contigo olvidaré fantasmas del pasado

sin ti me perderé si no estás a mi lado,

contigo acabaré puedes echarlo todo

sin ti me moriré ahogado en este lodo

contigo de una vez me sentiré atrapado

sin ti ya no tendré todo lo que me has dado

si tú no estás...

no me quedaré

Contigo viviré esclavo de mis dudas

sin ti regresará mi mundo de locura

contigo olvidaré fantasmas del pasado

sin ti me perderé si no estás a mi lado,

contigo acabaré puedes echarlo todo

sin ti me moriré ahogado en este lodo

contigo de una vez me sentiré atrapado

sin ti ya no tendré todo lo que me has dado

si tú no estás...

no quiero seguir

así

no

si tú no estás,

si tú no estás,

si tú no estás me perderé
