I burned my hand, I cut my face
Heaven knows how long it's been
Since I've felt so out of place
I'm wonderin' if I'll fit in.
Debbie and Charley said they'd be here by nine
And Deb said she might bring a friend
Just my luck, they're right on time
So here I go again.
I'm gonna smile my best smile
And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style
Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see
That learning to live again is killing me.
Little cafe, table for four
But there's just conversation for three
I like the way she let me get the door
I wonder what she thinks of me.
Debbie just whispered, "You're doin' fine"
And I wish that I felt the same
She's asked me to dance, now her hand's in mine
Oh, my god, I've forgotten her name.
But I'm gonna smile my best smile
And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style
Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see
That learning to live again is killing me.
Now here we are beneath her porch light
And I say what a great time it's been
A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight
And I say, "can I see you again".
And she just smiles her best smile
And she laughs like it's going out of style
Looks into my eyes and says, "We'll see"
Oh this learning to live again is killing me
God this learning to live again is killing meLa felicidad
Te he visto pasando del brazo de un hombre,
que con su mirada te envuelve en amor,
te he visto sonriendo mostrando tus ojos,
sin sombras, sin dudas, sin guardar rencor,
al tiempo en que al sólo pronunciar mi nombre
con cierta ternura te ahogaba en dolor.
Me vi caminando guardando distancias,
que sólo mostraba la complicidad
de besos furtivos, de manos con ansias,
de darte un abrazo y gritar mi verdad,
de grandes olvidos, de encuentros,
de instantes, de amores
y un poco tu infelicidad.
Qué dulces mentiras, qué grandes verdades,
qué nos inventamos para perdurar,
qué filosofÃÂÂa, qué honor, qué ironÃÂÂa,
que nadie se hiera, que todos se cuiden,
si sólo mi cuerpo se va a desgarrar.
Te he visto pasando del brazo de un hombre,
que de cierto modo podrÃÂÂa ser yo,
te he visto sonriendo mostrando tus ojos,
mientras te despeina y te envuelve en amor,
al tiempo en que sólo pronunciar tu nombre
con cierta ternura me ahoga en dolor.
