Por Amar a Ciegas

I asked a pastor
About love and he told me
To give it to God
Not to feel alone
That being alone was better
Than living in an illusion

I asked a dentist
About love at first sight
He said it was a mistake
That’s just for a novelist
Dreamers, in life
You gotta be more realistic

And now that I don’t have you
I think of all the time lost
That I wasted with you

'Cause for loving blindly, I didn’t listen
And I jumped into the void for love
Everyone told me, everyone warned me
That there are flowers with thorns

I asked a man
About love and he said
That ignoring it was better
That I was young and money
Should be more important
Than a thousand loves

I asked an old man
On a distant boulevard
About love and passions
And he said: My son
It’s a double-edged sword
And it cuts, it hangs you by a thread

And now that I don’t have you
I think of all the time lost
That I wasted with you

'Cause for loving blindly, I didn’t listen
And I jumped into the void for love
Everyone told me, everyone warned me
That there are flowers with thorns

I asked my father
About love and innocence
About faith, patience
And do you know what he said?
Son, it’s always better
To ignore the heart
Listen to your conscience

I asked my mother
About the love I had for you
And she said it was just fantasies
That if I didn’t believe her
In time, I’d learn
That she was right

And now that I don’t have you
I think of all the time lost
That I wasted with you

'Cause for loving blindly, I didn’t listen
And I jumped into the void for love
Everyone told me, everyone warned me
That there are flowers with thorns
