Lyrics

[Intro]
Silencio
Yo te di el silencio
Pa' que tú entiendas
¿Cómo
Va la vida?
¿Cómo
Va la vida?
[Instrumental]
I lost my voice 'cause I talked too loud
Like an old friend that ain't hanging around
And in this quiet, well, I do my best
But I can't stop making this shit up in my head
But that's alright, I think I see the light
Half of the time are we just talking to ourselves?
[Verse 1]
And you want to explode
And let the world know
It's the middle of the night, you're all by yourself
Begging, praying, chasing, looking for a reason, won't you let it go?
'Cause you don't know
Then you take a bow, watch the quiet smile and say "Anyhow"
[Verse 2]
I've been too many lives
I've been too many tries
Too many times, losing my mind
Thinking about what I said last night
I think you like me better since I lost my voice
Something about this quiet
[Bridge]
¿Cómo va la vida?
No sé si bien o mal, la vida sigue igual
No hay sentido a las palabras de la gente
And, ¿cómo va la vida?
Si quieres la verdad, me cuesta respirar
A veces ya no quiero levantarme
¿Cómo va la vida?
Oir sin escuchar, no sé qué preguntar
Hubiera deseado que me escuches
[Verse 3]
It was late last night, you know
I was laying in my bed
I just wanted to know
Well, how are you doing?
[Verse 4]
Woah, just let the quiet smile
All of the "I don't know why"s, you've already tried
You're breaking your mind, so you wave and walk by
Oh, just gotta let it go
Well, the funny thing is
They think you're smarter when you shut your mouth
Take a break from yourself while you wander around
You close your eyes with a quiet smile
Hmm-mm-mm
[Outro]
Escúchame
Escúchame
