Dolía Menos
Gilberto Santa Rosa
It Hurt Less
There are ways to end, the dreams of a lifetime
But you had to choose, the one that burns like fear
The one that never fades away
There are ways to hint, that there's no other way out
But you had to choose, the one that hurts deep inside
The one that never heals
It hurt less if you had just said goodbye
Than to have lived through heartbreak firsthand
It was easier to face a betrayal
Than your disdain in the heat of love
It hurt less to hear the truth
Than to guess it in your way of kissing
It was easier to rip out my heart
Than to find myself here asking for an explanation
It hurt less, much less, a "sorry, it's over"
Than to have fallen dead, wounded from your heaven.
There are ways to hint, that there's no other way out

It was easier to face a betrayal
Than your disdain in the heat of love
It hurt less to hear the truth
Than to guess it in your way of kissing
It was easier to rip out my heart
Than to find myself here asking for an explanation
It hurt less, much less, a "sorry, it's over"
Than to have fallen dead, wounded from your heaven.
It would have hurt less
[A "it's over, a goodbye, a see you later"]
Much less
[Than your way of kissing like ice]
It would have hurt less
[Than to end this love, no excuses, no pretexts]
Much less
[Than paying the price of your disdain]
It would have hurt less
[Telling me that your love was about to be lost]
Much less
[Than falling wounded from your heaven]
It would have hurt less
[It would have hurt less if you left silently like the wind]
Much less
[Than discovering what hit me so deep inside]
It would have hurt less
[It was preferable to have a conversation, an explanation first]
Much less
[Than facing a "I don't love you"]
It would have hurt less
[Than the end of this love that was so yours, so mine, so ours]
Much less
[Because it was an excuse, it hurt less]
