El Culpable Fui Yo

I still remember the days of anguish
And the long silences
You looked at me naked, I don’t know why
The pain flooded your face, and like a loser
I downed my glass of whiskey, drunk on love
You knew how I was
Before you met me
My guitar, bourbon, and the night were my devotion
And in every corner of your bed
I left a thousand promises
But the time never came to give you warmth

It was my fault for your tears and dark circles
I was the one to blame for your fears and your pain
But there’s something stronger that pulls,
And tells me lies, and pushes me toward loneliness
Whenever you’re not around

How can I make you believe you’ve been everything in my life?
When I’ve come home a hundred times smelling like any other woman
I swear to you that in my nights of love
I’ve accidentally mentioned your name
And I hoped to find you by my side at sunrise
How can I expect you to forgive what I did to you?
But I’m not a coward and I accept a cruel and fierce punishment
I admit I’ve been the executioner of your feelings
And I can’t hide that I deserve your goodbye

It was my fault for your tears and dark circles
I was the one to blame for your fears and your pain
But there’s something very strong that pulls,
And tells me lies and pushes me toward loneliness,
Whenever you’re not around

It was my fault for your tears and dark circles
I was the one to blame for your fears and your pain
But there’s something very strong that drowns my mind
And naked it drags me into the storm,
Whenever you’re not around
