Espectador

I’ve got our goodbye stuck in my throat
One drink after another doesn’t wash away the last look
You gave me to end our love
There were no words, no tears, nothing at all

I just felt a dagger pierce my back
You couldn’t even lift your head
I don’t know if it was shame
Or your ignorance that was speaking

Today I want to fall asleep
And never wake up again
If your world will keep spinning the same

I’d rather give up
Than drown in alcohol
Or slumped on the couch
Condemned to be
A simple spectator
Without your love

Selling me the days
When you used to love me
Or at least you said you did
Because you’ve always shared
Your love in other ways
And I, the fool, believed you
You’re a pain that won’t wash off my skin

Today I want to fall asleep
And never wake up again
If your world will keep spinning the same

I’d rather give up
Than drown in alcohol
Or slumped on the couch
Condemned to be
A simple spectator
Without your love
