la vida
no quiero morir.
no sé porque
yo tengo esta vida,
pero yo sé
una cosa
importante:
esta vida es preciosa,
y necesito protegerla
con todo yo puedo.
sin esta vida,
soy nadie.
soy nada,
no mucho mas
que una voz
en la viento,
una idea
en los mentes
de las personas
que yo sabría
durante mi vida.
sin una vida,
soy nada.
pues yo voy
a vivir.
seré fuerte
en todo
que yo hago.
porque esta vida
es mia,
y es el regalo
más preciosa
que puedo recibir.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
i don’t want to die.
i don’t know
why i have
this life,
but i know one
important thing:
this life
is precious,
and i need
to protect it
with everything
i can.
without this life,
i am nobody.
i am nothing,
not much more
than a voice
in the wind,
an idea
in the minds
of people
that i would know
during my life.
without a life,
i am nothing.
so i’m going to live.
i will be strong
in everything i do.
because this life
is mine,
and it is
the most
precious gift
i can receive.
The one that you need (edited)
(If you read this before, I changed the bridge completely because I'm a little less bitter about it now.)
I saw a picture of you today.
You were smiling at someone out of frame,
And even though I couldn’t see her face
There’s no one else you look at that way.
She was always the one you’d run to.
Why her? I never knew.
When I was always there to help you make it through,
Why is she the one for you?
Well, I never got the chance to show you how life could be.
I never allowed myself to set my feelings free.
But as I sit here I see what’s right in front of me:
I’m not the one that you need.
Since we met I’ve tried everything.
I go out with other guys, but I don’t feel a thing.
Why do I feel like my heart is breaking
Even though I never got to hear it sing?
’Cause I never got the chance to show you how life could be.
I never allowed myself to set my feelings free.
But as I sit here I see what’s right in front of me:
I’m not the one that you need.
It's taken me so long to see
That we were never meant to be,
And every chance we ever missed
Would never give me the love I wished.
'Cause even though, I never got the chance to show you how life could be.
I never allowed myself to let my feelings free.
But as I sit here I see what’s right in front of me:
(Now we can finally agree)
That I’m not the one that you need.
