Andy Stott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tú no sabes lo que estoy sufriendo esto te lo tengo que decir
cuentame tu despedida para mí fue dura
sera que te llevó a la Luna y yo no supe hacerlo así
te estaba buscando por la calle gritando esto me está matando ooh no
te estaba buscando por las calles gritando como un loco tomando oooh ooh
es que yo sin ti y tú sin mí dime quien puede ser feliz esto no me gusta
esto no me gusta
esto no me gusta
yo sin ti no aguanto más por eso vengo a decirte lo que siento estoy sufriendo en la soledad
y aunque tu padre no aprobó esta relación yo sigo insistiendo a pedir perdón lo único que importa está en tu corazón
te estaba buscando por la calle gritando, esto me esta matando ooh no
te estaba buscando por las calles gritando, como un loco tomando ooh ooh
es que yo sin ti y tú sin mí dime quien puede ser feliz esto no me gusta
esto no me gusta
es que yo sin ti y tú sin mí dime quien puede ser feliz esto no me gusta
esto no me gusta
yo te jure a ti este eterno amor y ahora otro te da calor cuando en las noches tienes frío ooh ooh
yo sé que él te parece mejor pero yo estoy en tu corazón y por eso pido perdón
es que yo sin ti y tú sin mí dime quien puede ser feliz esto no me gusta
esto no me gusta
es que yo sin ti y tú sin mí dime quien puede ser feliz esto no me gusta
dicen que uno no sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo pierde pero vale la pena luchar por lo que uno quiere y hacer el intento
The lyrics of the song "Faith In Strangers" by Andy Stott are in Spanish and don't directly relate to the song's title. The lyrics express a story of a man who is deeply in love with someone and learns that they are getting married to another person. The man is suffering because of this and feels the need to express his emotions to the person he loves. He asks about their farewell, indicating that it was difficult for him. He questions whether the new relationship took her to the moon, meaning it was a great love, and he didn't know how to do it.
He goes on to express how he was searching for her on the streets, shouting out how much he loves her, but she was nowhere to be found. He repeats the phrase, "es que yo sin ti y tú sin mí dime quien puede ser feliz," which translates to, "I without you and you without me, tell me who can be happy." He states that he can't go on without her and that he's suffering in solitude. The lyrics then express that he promised her eternal love and that he knows she's with someone else now, but he's still in her heart and asks for forgiveness.
Overall, the song's lyrics revolve around heartbreak and unrequited love. The man's passion for the woman he loves is evident, but it's clear that their relationship has ended, and she has moved on. The song's title, "Faith In Strangers," doesn't directly relate to the lyrics but may be interpreted as the man's faith in himself to express his emotions to the woman he loves, despite being a stranger to her now.

He wakes up in the morning
Lights bursting on his eyes
Wide open on the pillow
A face he doesn't recognize
Somebody's had enough
Somebody's had enoughIn the street is something plaid
Flesh, bone, another lives
He swallows as a child to be caught in control of his lips
Celebrity pages in the paper
Full of them, hard to read
They're the look you love
Sippin' on the ice with shades
Having fun in notorietyHe wakes up in the morning
Lights bursting on his eyes
Mouth wide open in the mirror
A face he doesn't recognize
Bring him back to bed
He has no shirt, no tie
Don't fight the folks around
There's a jerk, it's a knot
Can't seem to smile
Somebody's had enough
Somebody's had enough
