Now we reached the end
I ran the marathon
The road had many bends
But we knew that all along
I think it made me stronger
But I would rather not
Betray myself, just to keep your love at any cost

And it's most tempting to give in
When you hear the firin' shots
When you're steps from winning back
All the happiness you lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost
Lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost

With every careless action, you let me slip away
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed
You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe
If you just bought mе flowers, maybe I would've stayеd

Maybe I would've stayed
Maybe I would've stayed

The seeds we planted grew
But not like roses do
We had the thorns and leaves
But the buds, they never bloomed
And now my future gleams
With colors bold and bright
In a home that's filled with love and hope
And a life that just feels right

And it's most tempting to give in
When you're almost at the top
When you're steps from winning back
All the happiness you lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost
Lo-o-o-ost, lo-o-o-o-ost

With every careless action, you let me slip away
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed
You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed

Maybe I would've stayed
Maybe I would've stayed
I wouldn't have walked away
I wouldn't have walked away

And there's no heartbreak left to feel
It happened years ago
After you made your choices
I melted away like snow
'Cause you like lying to yourself
And now I'll never know
What parts of your love were for real
And what parts were for show

With every careless action, you let me slip away
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed
You didn't think I was serious, I guess you felt so safe
If you just bought me flowers, maybe I would've stayed

Maybe I would've stayed
Maybe I would've stayed
I wouldn't have walked away
I wouldn't have walked away



[Letra Traducida al Español]

Ahora que llegamos al final
Corrí la maratón
El camino tenía muchas curvas
Pero lo supimos desde el comienzo
Pienso que me hizo más fuerte
Pero preferiría no
Traicionarme a mí misma, solo para conservar tu amor a cualquier costo

Y es más tentador renunciar
Cuando escuchas los disparos
Cuando estás a unos pasos de volver a ganar
Toda la felicidad que perdiste-e-e, perdiste-e-e
Perdiste-e-e, perdiste-e-e

Con cada acción negligente, me fuiste apagando
Si me hubieses comprado flores, quizás me habría quedado
No pensaste que hablaba en serio, supongo que te sentiste seguro
Si me hubieses comprado flores, quizás me habría quedado

Quizás me habría quedado
Quizás me habría quedado

Las semillas que plantamos crecieron
Pero no como las rosas lo hacen
Tuvimos las espinas y las hojas
Pero los capullos, nunca florecieron
Y ahora mi futuro brilla
Con colores intensos y resplandecientes
En un hogar lleno de amor y esperanza
Y una vida sosegada

Y es más tentador renunciar
Cuando casi estás en la cima
Cuando estás a unos pasos de volver a ganar
Toda la felicidad que perdiste-e-e, perdiste-e-e
Perdiste-e-e, perdiste-e-e

Con cada acción negligente, me fuiste apagando
Si me hubieses comprado flores, quizás me habría quedado
No pensaste que hablaba en serio, supongo que te sentiste seguro
Si me hubieses comprado flores, quizás me habría quedado

Quizás me habría quedado
Quizás me habría quedado
No me habría marchado
No me habría marchado

Y no hay más pesar que abrigar
Pasó hace años
Después de que tomaste tus decisiones
Me derretí como la nieve
Porque te gusta mentirte
Y ahora nunca sabrás
Qué partes de tu amor eran de verdad
Y qué partes eran mentira

Con cada acción negligente, me fuiste apagando
Si me hubieses comprado flores, quizás me habría quedado
No pensaste que hablaba en serio, supongo que te sentiste seguro
Si me hubieses comprado flores, quizás me habría quedado

Quizás me habría quedado
Quizás me habría quedado
No me habría marchado
No me habría marchado
