STOLEN HEART/ CORAZÓN ROBADO

If the sun never shone again,
If we never felt pain or sorrow,
If we didn't need air to breathe,
Then my heart you'd have freed.
But you came into the dark and stole it from me,
There is no doubt now because I finally see,
My heart was lost from the start,
It was given freely but you tore it apart.
Why did you waste all that time I'll never know,
For you were the one that opened that closed door,
Why did you make promises you'd never keep?
Why did you let me sink into loving you so deep?

So, here I am,
and
Where are you?
