[VERSE 1] C G - I walked a careful line for years, did what I was supposed to do Am F - Built my walls with common sense, kept my heart out of view [CHORUS - English then Spanish - same chords F G C Am] Carolina, circumstances said we weren't allowed to be, Carolina, but destiny had different plans for you and me, You were never supposed to be there, that's what life kept telling me, But you were right there in the dark to brighten my way. Carolina, decían que lo nuestro no podía ser, Carolina, pero el destino escribió otra historia para los dos, Decían que no estarías ahí, eso me repetía la vida, Pero estuviste ahí en mi oscuridad para iluminar mi camino. [VERSE 2] It wasn't in a love song moment, wasn't candles and wine It was in my lowest season, when I couldn't find the sky [CHORUS - Repeat Bilingual - build louder] [BRIDGE - soft] Maybe some loves are forbidden 'cause they cut too deep and true Maybe second chances don't come twice, they just come dressed as you Quizá algunos amores son prohibidos porque son de verdad, Quizá las segundas oportunidades llegan vestidas de ti, Carolina [PAUSE 2 SECONDS] [FINAL CHORUS] [OUTRO - TEARFUL - just guitar/piano] Carolina, I don't have much, but I have this to say, If love is a second chance, you are my second chance every day, I came with empty hands, with shadows in my chest, And you loved me not despite the dark, you loved me through the rest. Carolina, no tengo mucho, pero esto te quiero decir, Si el amor es una segunda oportunidad, tú eres la mía cada día, Llegué con manos vacías, con sombras en el pecho, Y me amaste no a pesar de la oscuridad, me amaste a través de ella. [FINAL TAG - sing twice, second time whisper] You didn't just brighten my way... Carolina... You became my way. No solo iluminaste mi camino... Carolina... Te convertiste en mi camino. You didn't just brighten my way... You became my way. Oh, Carolina... you became my way / Te convertiste en mi camino.
