Por Amor

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 an artist about love at first sight
He said it was a mistake
That it was for novelists, dreamers
That in life you have to be more realistic

And now that I don't have you
I think of all the lost time
That I lost... with you
Because by loving you blindly I...
Didn't listen, and I threw myself 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 told me
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
He said 'My son, it's a double-edged sword, it cuts, it hangs by a thread'

And now that I don't have you
I think of all the lost time
That I lost... with you
Because by loving you blindly I...
Didn't listen, and I threw myself into the void for love
Everyone told me, everyone warned me
That there are flowers with thorns

Sometimes I deny the Lord
And it forces me to make bad decisions
To take a different path
That it's proven that I walk in suffering

I asked my father about love, and innocence
About faith, patience, and 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 she had
She said they were fantasies
That if I didn't believe her, with time I would learn
That she was right

And now that I don't have you
I think of all the lost time
That I lost... with you
Because by loving you blindly I...
Didn't listen, and I threw myself into the void for love
Everyone told me, everyone warned me
That there are flowers with thorns.
