Lo Que Queda de Cariño

I know what I desire
Is born in the same place
As all the burning nails I try to grab

I keep quiet like everyone else
And I learn the face of being
On the outside in complete silence and inside fatally

I know the rules and believe
That no one talks about love anymore
And before you open your eyes, I'll have grown older

Forget the years we were
An example of humanity
We went from being kids to normal people

When you've turned what's left of affection into what needs to be done
Into what needs to be done
When fire used to be fun and now it's friendly fire
What needs to be done
Is what needs to be done

Sometimes I break and tell myself
I thought I was immortal
You don't know me if you haven't seen me fail

The voices have gone silent
I know what I want to say
I only walk the path that isn't for me

When you've turned what's left of affection into what needs to be done
Into what needs to be done
When fire used to be fun and now it's friendly fire
What needs to be done
Is what needs to be done

To talk about conditions
You have to be competitive
It doesn't show the movement that once beat
Then the wind and its habit
Of coming to your words
Every time they told you that you didn't deserve anything

When you've turned what's left of affection into what needs to be done
Into what needs to be done
When fire used to be fun and now it's friendly fire
What needs to be done
Is what needs to be done
