I started by saving youComencé por salvarte

I thought it was wisePensé que era sabio

So you asked me Why?Así que me preguntaste ¿Por qué?

Why give your freedom to stand at my side?¿Por qué dar tu libertad para estar a mi lado?

I said It Makes You MineDije que te hace mía

(At least it was worth a try)(Al menos valía la pena intentarlo)

We watched our behaviourObservamos nuestro comportamiento

At least for a whileAl menos por un tiempo

Until we'd had enoughHasta que tuvimos suficiente

You gave in completelyTe entregaste por completo

Eyes full of starsOjos llenos de estrellas

Until you had to stopHasta que tuviste que parar

The heart beats on and offEl corazón late intermitentemente

Soon you went walkingPronto te fuiste caminando

And left me to fretY me dejaste preocupado

I knew not where you'd beenNo sabía dónde habías estado

Something about you that smells of the seaAlgo en ti que huele a mar

And you say I am all sky and rainY dices que soy todo cielo y lluvia

Please don't leave me againPor favor, no me dejes de nuevo

So, dear womanAsí que, querida mujer

I'll answer you nowTe responderé ahora

Breathless though I amSin aliento aunque esté

Silent too, as a thousand milesTambién en silencio, como a mil millas

Empty as a handVacío como una mano

I gave up nothingNo renuncié a nada

You gave me everythingTú me diste todo

Until you gave me away.Hasta que me diste por perdido.
