The Night Brings It Back

[Verse 1] I chose to stay when I wanted to run, I chose our love, I chose us. I looked into your eyes and tried to believe That we could become what we used to be. I buried my questions, I hid the tears inside. I told myself, “It’s over,” But the memories never died. A single word can bring it back, A movie scene can make me shake. Una historia de infidelidad, Y vuelvo a sentir aquel dolor. [Pre-Chorus] I wish I could forget, Pero mi corazón recuerda todo. I’m trying to move forward, But the past won’t let me go. [Chorus — powerful, emotional] I forgave you, but I didn’t forget, Te perdoné, pero duele todavía. I chose to stay, but I’m not the same, Me quedé contigo, pero cambió mi vida. One little word, one movie scene, Y vuelvo a aquella noche otra vez. I still love you, that’s the hardest part, Porque perdonar no cura el corazón. I forgave you… Te perdoné… But who’s gonna save me From the pain you left in me? [Verse 2] Sometimes you’re sleeping next to me, And I stare into the dark. I wonder if you’ll ever know How deeply you broke my heart. No quiero castigarte por el pasado, I just want to feel safe again. I want to love you without fear, Without wondering where you’ve been. I know you’re sorry, I know you wish it disappeared. Pero yo soy quien vive con Los recuerdos que quedaron aquí. [Pre-Chorus] I want to trust you without fear, Quiero amarte sin dudar. I want to hear those words again And not feel my heart fall apart. [Chorus — bigger] I forgave you, but I didn’t forget, Te perdoné, pero duele todavía. I chose to stay, but I’m not the same, Me quedé contigo, pero cambió mi vida. One little word, one movie scene, Y vuelvo a aquella noche otra vez. I still love you, that’s the hardest part, Porque perdonar no cura el corazón. I forgave you… Te perdoné… But who’s gonna save me From the pain you left in me? [Bridge — whispered, emotional] You think it’s over Because I don’t talk about it anymore. Pero hay heridas que ya no sangran Y todavía duelen igual. I don’t want revenge, I don’t want to make you pay. Solo quiero volver a ser yo, I just want to be okay. [Final Chorus — emotional explosion] I forgave you, but I didn’t forget, Te perdoné, pero no puedo borrar. I stayed because I still love you, Pero mi corazón tiene miedo de amar. When the night comes, I fight again, Con recuerdos que llaman a mi puerta. I love you, but sometimes love Doesn’t know how to heal the hurt. I forgave you… Te perdoné… Maybe someday I’ll hear those words And they won’t break me anymore. Quizás algún día pueda decir: “Te perdoné… y por fin sané.” [Outro — piano and distant vocals] I forgave you… Te perdoné… But healing takes time.
