El Secreto

I want to share a secret
That I've kept in my hermit soul for a while
And I don’t want to hide it
'Cause I don’t want to live like this

You’ve slipped into my dreams
In the big ones and the small ones
And even though you didn’t know
I spend my nights and days
Imagining you next to me

You take over my mind
And steal my patience
With bouts of madness
And I can’t live happily

I don’t know how you’ve managed
To keep me cornered
Like a lovesick sprite
And I don’t want to live like this

Let me be that crazy guy
Who loves you so much
That brings you roses

I know the wildflowers
Are gonna be jealous
'Cause I didn’t pick them for you

I want to be that crazy guy
Who idolizes you
Who turns you into a goddess

That makes your sad friends
Die of envy
For not having a love like this

You take over my mind
And steal my patience
With bouts of madness
And I can’t live happily

I don’t know how you’ve managed
To keep me cornered
Like a lovesick sprite
And I don’t want to live like this anymore

Let me be that crazy guy
Who loves you so much
That brings you roses

I know the wildflowers
Are gonna be jealous
'Cause I didn’t pick them for you

I want to be that crazy guy
Who idolizes you
Who turns you into a goddess

That makes your sad friends
Die of envy
For not having a love like this
