Cuando Me Faltes
Carlos Sadness
When You're Gone
But if you think you'll come back someday
It’s better I sell my sadness and
Make way for the joy
Invite you to swim this summer in the pool
Fill it with my tears when I didn’t have you
But of course, loneliness is such a good friend of mine
I don’t know if when you come back you’ll be better company
And if you say that now everything is lost
Maybe it’s nicer
To miss you than to be with you
Since my heart’s been eaten by worms
The butterflies in my stomach are dying
Look at me, the dust is covering my eyelids
I hear more in dreams than when I’ve woken up
With this open wound and my eyes closed
I play at imagining what’s never happened to me
This Saturday my heart turned completely around
Imagining so much that if you come back
I won’t even notice when the story ends, you tell me
Time has passed but scars remain
Close your eyes and don’t breathe, man
I’m writing this just before I leave
When the story ends, you tell me
Time has passed but scars remain
Close your eyes and don’t breathe, man
Hey, it won’t do you any good
When you’re gone
I’ll want to drown myself, bleed out
Or pop pills
Touch and caress my sorrows with a blade
Kicks to the mouth while tied up on my knees
Or douse myself in gasoline and light a match
End this life once and for all
Dive into the drink while everyone else cries
And cut my suffering from the root, completely
Because that way I’ll feel nobody can stop my crying
Sink into the pool, well held by the lead
Die run over without knowing why or how
Pour pure poison, cyanide in my drink
Shoot up a couple grams of dope without rest
Open my mouth and pull a trigger
Or better yet, over my temples and blow it off myself
Bash my head against the ground until I die
Or grab a power cable and electrocute myself
It’s what’s right when I’m dead inside
When I have nothing left and things are fucked
Instead of painting the shine of your lips with polish
I write what I’ll do the day you’re gone
When the story ends, you tell me
Time has passed but scars remain
Close your eyes and don’t breathe, man
I’m writing this just before I leave
When the story ends, you tell me
Time has passed but scars remain
Close your eyes and don’t breathe, man
Hey, it won’t do you any good.
