No puedo mirarte y se que aún sigo sufriendo
Sé que nunca voy a estar contigo
Y jamás seas el abrigo que me cubra de este frío
Intento olvidarte y apareces al instante
Quiero despertarme de este sueño incesante
Se que ya no puedo ser tu amigo y fracasa mi objetivo Mi temor es mi dolor
¿Por qué no puedo cumplir mis sueños?
¿Por qué se rompe mi sentimiento?
¿Por qué no puedo cumplir mi sueño junto a vos?
Sé que nunca voy a estar contigo
Y jamás seas el abrigo que me cubra de este frío
Se que ya no puedo ser tu amigo y aunque tome otro camino
Nunca evitaré el dolor (mi amiga)
¿Por qué no puedo cumplir mis sueños?
¿Por qué se rompe mi sentimiento?
¿Por qué no puedo cumplir mi sueño junto a vos?
The lyrics to Smitten's song "Intento" express the struggles of someone who is attempting to move on from a past love but finds themselves still feeling pain and unable to forget the person. The first verse conveys the conflicting feelings of wanting to distance oneself from the object of their affection while also feeling like they are dying without them. They acknowledge that they will never be with this person and that they will never be the source of comfort that they need in order to overcome their pain.
The second verse continues with the theme of the struggle to forget, with the singer stating that they want to wake up from their constant dream of their former love. They come to the realization that they cannot be friends with this person as it only leads to failure in their attempts to move on. The refrain repeats the questions of why their dreams cannot come true, why their emotions are shattered, and why they cannot fulfill their desire to be with this person. The song ends with the acknowledgement that no matter what path they take, they will never avoid the pain of their unrequited love.
Overall, "Intento" is a poignant portrayal of the difficulties of trying to move on from a past love and the pain and confusion that come with it.
