Promise

You said that you'll be there when I get homeTú dijiste que estarías ahí cuando yo llegase a casa

You'll do the laundry cook the meal for allTu cocinas y haces la colada para todos

But I smell neither garlic nor the cotton when I'm herePero no huelo a ajo ni a algodón cuando estoy aquí

All I hear is silence that you left when you disappearedTodo lo que oigo es el silencio que dejaste cuando te fuiste

Why didn't you sayPorque no dijiste

That you wouldn't stay with me foreverQue no te quedarías conmigo para siempre

Like then on a day you first met meComo el día en el que me conociste

I don't even care why you had to leave, babyNo me importa por que te tuviste que marchar, cariño

You tear me apartMe partes en dos

Look how selfish you areMira lo egoísta que eres

Left me behind whenMe dejaste atrás

I gave you my lifeCuando te di mi vida

Where are you nowDonde estás ahora

How am I supposed to tell them howComo se lo digo a ellos ahora

And you promised that you wouldn't leave before meMe prometiste que no te irías antes de mí

Tell me why you couldn't keep your promiseDime porque no pudiste mantener tu promesa

I know that you can't hear me like beforeSe que no me puedes escuchar como antes

But there are things I think you need to knowPero hay cosas que creo que debes saber

The things that you would know if you'd just wait a little moreLas cosas que tú sabrías si tú solo esperases un poco más

But you don't like to wait and now they think that it's their faultPero no te gusta esperar y ahora ellos piensan que es su culpa

Why didn't you sayPorque no dijiste

That you wouldn't stay with me foreverQue no te quedarías conmigo para siempre

Like then on a day you first met meComo el día en el que me conociste

I don't even care why you had to leave, babyNo me importa por que te tuviste que marchar, cariño

You tear me apartMe partes en dos

Look how selfish you areMira lo egoísta que eres

Left me behind when I gave you my lifeDejarme atrás cuando te di mi vida

Where are you nowDonde estás ahora

How am I supposed to tell them howComo se lo digo a ellos ahora

And you promised that you wouldn't leave before meMe prometiste que no te irías antes de mi

Tell me why you couldn't keep your promiseDime porque no pudiste mantener tu promesa
