I read your mindLeí tu mente

But it wasn't a very interesting readPero no fue una lectura muy interesante

The plot was contrivedLa trama era forzada

And the characters were too consumed by needY los personajes estaban demasiado consumidos por la necesidad

Page by pagePágina por página

Enduring each predictable turnSoportando cada giro predecible

The paper dissolves beneath my fingersEl papel se disuelve bajo mis dedos

And the syllables burnY las sílabas arden

The fairy tale you sell is a lieEl cuento de hadas que vendes es una mentira

But I read the truth behind your eyesPero leí la verdad detrás de tus ojos

These words just don't ring trueEstas palabras simplemente no suenan verdaderas

And tell me all I need to know about youY me dicen todo lo que necesito saber sobre ti

Edit and reviseEdita y revisa

Until your conscience was clearedHasta que tu conciencia quedara clara

I tried to read the words that were trueIntenté leer las palabras que eran verdaderas

But the ink had smearedPero la tinta se había corrido

Distorted proseProsa distorsionada

Penetrating layer by layerPenetrando capa por capa

Scrawled down for all the world to seeGarabateado para que todo el mundo lo vea

As if anyone would careComo si a alguien le importara

I read your mindLeí tu mente

Suffered through every last detailSufrí cada último detalle

I watched you try to make sense of your lifeTe vi intentar dar sentido a tu vida

And I watched you failY te vi fracasar
