Brecha Lyrics English Translation by Mercedes Cañas
Sometimes I wanna tear
A crack right through the time stream
Just to slip you in between
And stay there, lost in a dream
In that one moment
When you used to say
How come what we had
Never came to be
If you’ve lived inside of me
More than I can say
And though they say it’s no way
To live on memories,
I’ve also heard the greatest trips
Are to the past, you see
‘Cause it sounds so sweet,
Our story, untied,
Always trimmed down,
Only told right
From our own side.
‘Cause it sounds so sweet,
The kiss we never shared,
And how we both declare
What never happened
Just ‘cause we didn’t dare.
I’d go back where I was free,
When I could hold your gaze so long.
Something there just made me want
To freeze it, keep it strong.
I’d go back to where you’d wait,
Seated like before.
And though you weren’t there no more,
Just the memory
Made my spirit shake and pour.
And though they say it’s no way
To live on memories,
I’ve also heard the greatest trips
Are to the past, you see
‘Cause it sounds so sweet,
Our story, untied,
Always trimmed down,
Only told right
From our own side.
‘Cause it sounds so sweet,
The kiss we never shared,
And how we both declare
What never happened
Just ‘cause we preferred
To swallow words, hide what we felt,
Slap on a band-aid like a coat,
Before the pain could take hold,
Just in case it got too cold.
Instead of living bold,
No fear of what’s ahead,
No “what if I regret?”
‘Cause you lose if you don’t bet.
But I already lost—all that’s left
Is your ghost in my head.
And it sounds so sweet,
Our story, untied,
Always trimmed down,
Only told right
From our own side.
‘Cause it sounds so sweet,
The kiss we never shared,
And how we both declare
What never happened
Just ‘cause we didn’t dare.
