Costumbre de Mentirnos

I knew you weren't going to stay
From the way you looked at me
You never said it was eternal
But I kind of figured as much

We lied to each other with slow kisses
To avoid talking about the truth
I pretended it didn't hurt
You pretending it was real

And although I always knew it
I never wanted to listen
I stayed out of habit
Not out of necessity

It was never forever
But it hurt just the same
We used ourselves as an excuse
To stop feeling

It was never forever
And yet I stayed
Knowing that the end
I had already seen it yesterday

I fell into the same trap again
For not learning to let go
I confused the custom
Not knowing how to be at peace

You were just looking for the moment
Something that wasn't going to happen
Two silent culprits
Playing at not looking back

And although I always knew it
I let myself go
There are truths that hurt
When they happen again

It was never forever
But it hurt just the same
We burned slowly
Because they didn't know when to stop

It was never forever
And yet I got lost
In the absurd idea
That you stayed here

It wasn't love
It was fear of being alone
It wasn't destiny
Just one mistake we chose

It was never forever
And today I finally accept it
There are pleasures that kill
When they have no end
