Excuses

How was I supposed to know?¿Cómo se suponía que iba a saber?

You didn't tell me they were goldNo me dijiste que eran de oro

I didn't smell the coming snowNo olí la nieve que se acercaba

And now they're ruined by the coldY ahora están arruinadas por el frío

How was I supposed to share?¿Cómo se suponía que iba a compartir?

You didn't tell me they were fairNo me dijiste que eran justas

I didn't see them going spareNo las vi sobrando

And now they're buried over thereY ahora están enterradas allá

How was I supposed to see?¿Cómo se suponía que iba a ver?

You didn't tell me they were freeNo me dijiste que eran gratis

I didn't hear the falling leavesNo escuché las hojas caer

And now they're rotting underneathY ahora se están pudriendo debajo

How was I to have a clue?¿Cómo iba a tener una pista?

You didn't tell me they were new, noNo me dijiste que eran nuevas, no

I didn't kneel upon the pewNo me arrodillé en el confesionario

And now it's hard to tell the truthY ahora es difícil decir la verdad
