This Moment
Azabache Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take it no more; you're much, much more than I bargained for
Open up that door and let me out - I can't stand to hear you shout again
You're not my friend and I know this time, this is the end
Don't try to hold me now, I think it's time I wondered how
I became who I am, can't give a damn
About what you want and what you say
This moment is stealing away; I can't stay, I can't stay
I said this moment is stealing away; I can't stay, I can't stay
You know this moment is stealing away; I can't stay, I can't stay
I can't stay
This time I'm going away forever
This time I'm staying away forever
This time I'm going away forever
This time I might just stay away forever
Este momento se va y se va,
Que yo me voy y no vuelvo más
Este momento se va y se va,
Que yo me voy y no vuelvo más
Time and time again I'd have to push back my emotions
Fearing just what your reaction would be - you never took me seriously
Este momento se va y se va,
Que yo me voy y no vuelvo más
Este momento se va y se va,
Que yo me voy y no vuelvo más
Cause if you did you'd understand that when in love, not every man is the same
Is this just a game to you? I did everything you wanted me to
Este momento se va y se va,
Que yo me voy y no vuelvo más
Este momento se va y se va,
Que yo me voy y no vuelvo más

Raise the white flag; I'm giving up, I'm giving up
I am surrendering to you and admitting defeat
I can't take it no more; you're much, much more than I bargained for
You are too much for me to handle and I cannot endure it any longer
Open up that door and let me out - I can't stand to hear you shout again
Please let me leave as I cannot bear to listen to you scream anymore
You're not my friend and I know this time, this is the end
I realize that our relationship has ended and we are not friends anymore
Don't try to hold me now, I think it's time I wondered how
Please don't try to stop me as I need to question how I ended up in this situation
I became who I am, can't give a damn
I have changed and I no longer care about your opinions or feelings
About what you want and what you say
I do not care about your desires or words
And what you're feeling
I do not care about your emotions
This moment is stealing away; I can't stay, I can't stay
This moment is passing and I cannot remain here any longer
I said this moment is stealing away; I can't stay, I can't stay
I am reiterating that I cannot remain in this moment any longer
You know this moment is stealing away; I can't stay, I can't stay
You are aware that this moment is fleeting and I cannot linger any longer
I can't stay
I cannot remain with you any longer
This time I'm going away forever
I am leaving you permanently this time
This time I'm staying away forever
I will not return this time
This time I might just stay away forever
I am considering staying away from you forever
Este momento se va y se va, Que yo me voy y no vuelvo más
This moment is fleeting, and I am leaving and never coming back
Time and time again I'd have to push back my emotions
I had to suppress my feelings repeatedly
Fearing just what your reaction would be - you never took me seriously
I was afraid of your response, and you never took me seriously
Cause if you did you'd understand that when in love, not every man is the same
If you took me seriously, you would realize that every man is unique when in love
Is this just a game to you? I did everything you wanted me to
Is our relationship just a game to you? I complied with all your wishes
