Porque Hablamos

You tell me
I tell you
And so begins our daily war
I arm myself with adjectives
You conjugate the worst of my past
And I aim at you
Where it hurts
And I remind you of your worst sins
You counterattack
And strike where you know it hurts
And on the battlefield
The minutes we waste die
You tell me,
I tell you,
And so ends our daily war
This relentless war that nobody wins
Because we talk
And don't use that time to give each other kisses
To paint with our hands
The caresses we want
And don't give each other
Because we always talk
About yours and mine
About the past and the guilty
While another minute dies
Because we talk.
I already told you
It's not true
You said you're not what I say
Nobody believes
Nobody accepts
Each defends their utopia
And the ghost of doubt
Makes its way at the border of the future
And the dying present
Is comforted with what little we have left
And I love you
And you love me
But we are more foolish than sensible
And another day comes
And we are left with incurable wounds
From this damn disease of talking too much
Because we talk
And don't use that time to give each other kisses
To paint with our hands
The caresses we want
And don't give each other
Because we always talk
About yours and mine
About the past and the guilty
While another minute dies
Because we talk.
...while another minute dies
Because we talk.
