[English]

I don't wanna speak too soon

Truth is that I couldn't wait

I know I should've thought this through

But maybe there's no other way

I know that it's nothing new

I'm sounding like a dumb cliché

I swear to God that it's not you

Just part of me is still afraid

Oh, why does it take a heart to break

For it to know exactly what's at stake?

And I don't wanna

Mess it up when everything feels right

Say the words that lead to the same fights

That I had with someone I used to know

I don't wanna

Fall in love and forget the feeling

Find the word and then lose the meaning

You becoming someone I used to know

I don't wanna

Break up and make up

Tell you I'm sorry

You go tell your friends

Half of the story

If I end up losing you

Then I don't wanna

Hey, I want to know about your life

But I forgot to fly without fearing the fall

The years charged me for every mistake

And my mind now only thinks the worst

I refuse to love just to forget later

Take photos I’ll have to delete someday

Ruin another song

Fill another drawer

With memories I know hurt to keep

Oh, why does it take a heart to break (I don’t know why)

For it to know exactly what's at stake? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

And I don't wanna

Mess it up when everything feels right

Say the words that lead to those same fights

That I had with someone I used to know

I don't wanna

Fall in love and forget the feeling

Find the word and then lose the meaning

You becoming someone I used to know

And I don't wanna

Break up and make up

Tell you I'm sorry

You go tell your friends

Half of the story

If I end up losing you

Then I don't wanna

And I don't wanna

(Ruin another song)

(Fill another drawer)

Oye, quiero saber de tu vida

Pero olvidé volar sin temerle a la caída

Los años me cobraron por cada error

Y mi cabeza ahora solo piensa en lo peor

Y me niego a querer para luego olvidar

Tomar fotos que luego me toque borrar

Dañar otra canción

Llenar otro cajón

De recuerdos que sé que me duele guardar

Oh, why does it take a heart to break (yo no sé bien)

For it to know exactly what's at stake? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

And I don't wanna

Mess it up when everything feels right

Say the words that lead to those same fights

Tell you I'm sorry

You go tell your friends

Half of the story

Then I don't wanna

And I don't wanna
