The Distance
We pass through these rooms without speakingWhere the light throws a pattern of laceYou say you don't know if you are leavingBut there's no shadow of doubt upon your faceAnd you tell me there is no otherAnd I know you well enough to know it's trueAnd well enough to know you need a loverWho can give what I never gave to you.You can say that you were lonelyWhen I lay right by your sideYou can say you saw the distanceWhen I looked you in the eyeAnd you can say I never reached youNo matter how many times I triedBut don't say I didn't love youCause that's a god damn lieI emptied the drawer filled with lettersAnd I bowed my head and criedNo one ever loved me betterThere was love in every lineBut there were times I didn't hold youWhen all you needed was a touchAnd there were times when I said nothingWhen one word would have been enoughLetras de cancionesAnd it seems sometimes like I lost my hand to a machineIn an accident a long time agoIt grabbed at my fingers and tore them off cleanStill I wait for these fingers to growAnd if I had fingers I'd touch your cheekWith a gesture so gentle and fineI would braid your hair with baby's breathI would take your hand in mineYou can say that you were lonelyWhen I lay right by your sideYou can say you saw the distanceWhen I looked you in the eyeAnd you can say I never reached youNo matter how many times I triedBut don't say I didn't love youCause that's a god damn lieI hear your voice in the morningSinging softly to yourselfI know you imaging the lovingThat awaits you with somebody elseAnd maybe I will find anotherWho will take me in spite of these scarsAnd each of us yet may discoverHow innocent we areYou can say that you were lonelyWhen I lay right by your sideYou can say you saw the distanceWhen I looked you in the eyeAnd you can say I never reached youNo matter how many times I triedBut don't say I didn't love youCause that's a god damn lieI know you won't say I didn't love youCause you know it would be a lie
