Cada aliento que tomes,
cada movimiento que hagas,
cada atadura que rompas, cada paso que des,
te estaré vigilando.

Todos y cada uno de los días,
y cada palabra que digas,
cada juego que juegues,

cada noche que te quedes,
te estaré vigilando.

Oh, ¿no puedes ver
que tú me perteneces?
cómo duele mi pobre corazón
con cada paso que das.

Cada movimiento que hagas,
y cada promesa que rompas (vow),
cada sonrisa que finjas,

cada parte que reclames (stake)
te estaré vigilando.

Desde que te has marchado estoy perdido sin un rastro,
sueño por la noche y solo veo tu rostro,
busco alrededor, pero eres tú lo que no puedo reemplazar,
me siento tan frío y anhelo tu abrazo.

Sigo llorando nena, nena, por favor.

Oh, ¿no puedes ver

LYRICS Hurtful by Erik Hassle

I used to laugh it off
I used to look the other way
I used to save them troubles for another day
I kept my fingers crossed
I used to never take the blame
I'd pull a sunshine story in a pouring rain
The more I had to change I'd just stay the same

(The same, the same, I stayed the same)

You don't know what you got till you're missing it a lot
I had to go throw it away
I was wrong from the start from the bottom of my heart I apologize
What I did to you was hurtful
What I'm going through is hurtful

I used to bide my time
I used to beat around the bush
I'd rather give my ego another push
I used to be a fool
It was a foolish game I played
And it's a fool's fate counting mistakes I've made
Once I had it right it was all too late

(Too late, too late, too little too late)

You don't know what you got until you're missing it a lot
I had to go throw it away
I was wrong from the start from the bottom of my heart I apologize
What I did to you was hurtful
What I'm going through is hurtful
What I'm going through is hurtful
It is hurtful
It's hurtful

Oh what I did to you
(What I did to you)

What I did to you was hurtful
What I'm going through is hurtful

I was wrong from the start from the bottom of my heart I apologize
What I did to you was hurtful
And what I'm going through is hurtful

TRANSLATION: Doloroso de Erik Hassle

Yo solía reírme de todo 
Solía mirar al otro lado 
Solía guardar los problemas para otro día 
Mantuve mis dedos cruzados 
Solía no aceptar la culpa 
Tirar una historia soleada en la intensa lluvia 
Mientras más tuve que cambiar más me mantuve igual 
(igual, igual, me mantuve igual) 
No sabes lo que tienes hasta que lo extrañas demasiado 
Tuve que tirar todo a la basura 
Yo estaba mal desde el principio, desde el fondo de mi corazón te pido perdón 
Lo que te hice fue doloroso 
Lo que estoy pasando es doloroso. 
Solía esperar mi tiempo 
Solía irme por las ramas
Preferiría darle a mi ego otro empujón 
Yo solía ser un tonto 
Era un juego tonto el que jugué
Y es el destino de un tonto contar los errores que he cometido 
Una vez que estaba en lo correcto era demasiado tarde. 
(muy tarde, muy tarde, un poco muy tarde) 
No sabes lo que tienes hasta que lo extrañas demasiado 
Tuve que tirar todo a la basura 
Yo estaba mal desde el principio, desde el fondo de mi corazón te pido perdón 
Lo que te hice fue doloroso 
Lo que estoy pasando es doloroso. 
Oh, lo que te hice 
(lo que te hice) 
Lo que te hice fue doloroso 
Lo que estoy pasando es doloroso 
Yo estaba mal desde el principio, desde el fondo de mi corazón te pido perdón 
Lo que te hice fue doloroso 
Y lo que estoy pasando es doloroso.

Mira a esos tontos así es como lo haces,

tocas la guitarra en la MTV.
Eso no es trabajar, así es como lo haces,

Ahora eso no es trabajar, así es como lo haces.

Déjame decirte que esos tíos no son tontos,
quizás consigas una ampolla en tu meñique,
quizás consigas una ampolla en tu pulgar.

Tenemos que instalar hornos microondas,
entrega de cocinas a medida.
Tenemos que mover estas neveras
tenemos que mover estas teles en color.

Mira al pequeño maricón
con el pendiente y el maquillaje.
Sí tío, es su propio pelo.
Ese pequeño maricón tiene su propio avión,
ese pequeño maricón es millonario.

Tenemos que instalar hornos microondas,
entrega de cocinas a medida.
Tenemos que mover estas neveras

Debería haber aprendido a tocar la guitarra,
debería haber aprendido a tocar la batería.
Mira a esa tía, lo tiene pegado a la cámara,

Tío, podríamos tener un poco de diversión.
Y él está ahí, ¿qué es eso? ¿ruidos hawaianos?,

Golpeando los bongos como un mono,
