ALANIS MORISSETTE - SIMPLE TOGETHER

Cuántas veces pusimos todo de nuestra parte
Para que resultara.
Cuántas veces sentimos que intentarlo
Valía la pena.
Cuántas veces nos dejamos llevar por la fantasía,
Y nos olvidamos del inevitable golpe final.
El que ya conocemos, incluso bastante bien,
Pero siempre tratamos de ignorar.
Por sentir. Por desear. Por amar.

...Pero el golpe final llega igual.

You’ve been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
Can’t go to you for consolation
Cause we’re off limits during this transition

This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can’t stop bumping into things

I thought we’d be simple together
I thought we’d be happy together
Thought we’d be limitless together
I thought we’d be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken

You’ve been my soulmate and mentor
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew god’s face was handsome
With you I suffered an expansion

This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And I can’t stop dropping everything

I thought we’d be sexy together
Thought we’d be evolving together
I thought we’d have children together
I thought we’d be family together
But I was sadly mistaken

If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe

I thought we’d be genius together
I thought we’d be healing together
I thought we’d be growing together
Thought we’d be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken

Thought we’d be exploring together
Thought we’d be inspired together
I thought we’d be flying together
Thought we’d be on fire together
But I was sadly mistaken

You know what I mean, don't you?
