La Escena

Whose scene is it
Who has been given the role of being your lover
Perhaps a naive one
Who dreams of becoming your man

Who have you told
The same stories
Of how much you have suffered
And he pities, thinking that your soul
Has been lied to so many times

Maybe he loves you more or the same as I do
With a thousand details he wants to win your love
You have conquered him with that performance
Of you the victim of deceit, mistreatment, and pain

Maybe he only thinks of protecting
What remains inside of you
He doesn't realize that he could fall
Into your trap

Whose scene is it
Which chapter are you acting out today
Will it be when you swear
To love forever even though you have never loved

Maybe he loves you more or the same as I do
With a thousand details he wants to win your love
You have conquered him with that performance
Of you the victim of deceit, mistreatment, and pain

Maybe he only thinks of protecting
What remains inside of you
He doesn't realize that he could fall
Into your trap

For the next actor in your novel
Girl, I feel sorry
Poor guy, you entangle him in your trap
He doesn't even realize

And who have you told the same stories
And believes them like I do
Who will be the new protagonist?
And what number is he on your list?
And let him learn the script well
Of complete falsehood and deceit
Act!
Act!
Mr. Director, interrupt the comedy
Or it will end in tragedy

And for your next scene, a new actor will be sought
Raise the curtain!
