Breaking Ties
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel it to the bone
Oh when you say you know
I feel I am not alone
And even though I may return
To empty places on my own
Where I remember everything
And you provide a parachute
When I am falling like a stone
And I remember there's a life
That I have not lived yet
You and I, truth and lies
I've been fooling myself too long
You and I, breaking ties
How could we be so right and so wrong?
I hear the words you say
Your mouth against my skin
My world just falls away
You light me from within
And even though I may return
To empty places on my own
Where I remember everything
You want me to forget
And you provide a parachute
When I am falling like a stone
And I remember there's a life
That I have not lived yet
You and I, truth and lies
I've been fooling myself too long
You and I, breaking ties
How could we be so right and so wrong?
Truth and lies
Breaking ties
You and I, truth and lies
I've been fooling myself too long
You and I, breaking ties
How could we be so right and so wrong?

Oh, cuando el viento frío sopla
Lo siento hasta los huesos
Oh, cuando dices que sabes
Siento que no estoy solo
Y aunque pueda volver
Para vaciar lugares por mi cuenta
Donde recuerdo todo
Quieres que me olvide
Y proporcionas un paracaídas
Cuando caigo como una piedra
Y recuerdo que hay una vida
Que aun no he vivido
Tu y yo, verdad y mentiras
Me he estado engañando demasiado tiempo
Tu y yo, rompiendo lazos
¿Cómo podríamos estar tan bien y tan equivocados?
Escucho las palabras que dices
Tu boca contra mi piel
Mi mundo simplemente se cae
Tu me iluminas desde dentro
Y aunque pueda volver
Para vaciar lugares por mi cuenta
Donde recuerdo todo
Quieres que me olvide
Y proporcionas un paracaídas
Cuando caigo como una piedra
Y recuerdo ...
