Castigo

I think I've understood the punishment
Punish me, whip me, but without a whip
My heart has already missed a beat
And your sound when you smile is now my chant

I keep expressing a bitter taste
I remain locked up all day in my castle
My eyes have slowly lost their shine
I live in summer and my temperature is arctic

Because I want you here when it's cold
Because I just want to unite your heart and mine
I just want to feel that you haven't left yet
Only you can pull me out of this void

Because every night I think of you
Of all those tears I couldn't fake
Of all those mistakes I didn't correct
And all the promises I said I would fulfill

I know I wasn't enough
That I never balanced your mind because of me
That you won't come back even if I try hard
That's why the pain will never be absent

Inside me, you are my sleeping beauty
Who appears when I have another in front of me
I can't love her no matter how hard I try
And my heart doesn't heal no matter how much I try

I think I've understood the punishment
Punish me, whip me, but without a whip
My heart has already missed a beat
And your sound when you smile is now my chant

I keep expressing a bitter taste
I remain locked up all day in my castle
My eyes have slowly lost their shine
I live in summer and my temperature is arctic
