Tristeza

Sadness
I've been following your footsteps since you left
Only your shadow I found, and it’s a ghost… that lives with me
I feel like the sun and you’re the moon
Waiting for an eclipse to cover… my bitterness.
Today I find myself lost, full of wounds, and you’re my way out
I carry this cross that weighs me down, come calm my sadness
I never expected to suffer this much, inside the tears drown me.
And I feel like my time is up in this world.
And there’s nothing left, I have no desire to fight.
I won’t accept that you’re not here.
The nights are so long they feel eternal, there are so many butts in the ashtray
I always keep it full.
The air I breathe is so bitter, it brings back memories, it’s a grave, the place where I live.
And I’m alone and I’m cold, because I don’t have your body, which was my only shelter.
I carry this cross that weighs me down, come calm my sadness
I never expected to suffer this much, inside the tears drown me.
And I feel like my time is up in this world.
And there’s nothing left, I have no desire to fight.
I won’t accept that you’re not here.
I carry this cross that weighs me down, come calm my sadness
I never expected to suffer this much, inside the tears drown me.
And I feel like my time is up in this world.
And there’s nothing left, I have no desire to fight.
It kills me so much that you’re not here, I’ve been following your footsteps since you left…
Only your shadow I found, and it’s a ghost that lives with me….
