"CAN'T REMEMBER TO FORGET YOU"

I left a note on my bedpost
Said not to repeat yesterday’s mistakes
What I tend to do when it comes to you
I see only the good, selective memory

The way he makes me feel yeah, gotta hold on me
I’ve never met someone so different
Oh here we go
He a part of me now, he a part of me
So where you go I follow
Ohohohoh
I can’t remember to forget you
Ohohohoh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory, is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh
I can’t remember to forget you
Ooooh
Can’t remember to forget you

I go back again,
fall off the train,
land in his bed,
repeat yesterday’s mistakes
What I’m trying to say is not to forget,
You see only the good, selective memory

The way he makes me feel like,
the way he makes me feel
I never seemed to act so stupid
Oh here we go…
he a part of me now he a part of me
so where he goes I follow follow

Ohohohoh
I can’t remember to forget you
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory, is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh
I can’t remember to forget you

I rob and I kill to keep him with me
I do anything for that boy
I’d give my last dime to hold him tonight
I do anything for that boy…

I rob and I kill to keep him with me
I do anything for that boy
I’d give my last dime to hold him tonight
I do anything for that boy…

Ohohohoh
I can’t remember to forget you
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory, is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohoh
I can’t remember to forget you
But when you look at me, the only memory, is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohoh
I can’t remember to forget you 

"EMPIRE"

Take off all of your skin 
And brave when you are free 
Shake off all of your sins 
Then give them to me 
Close up, let me back in 
I wanna be yours, wanna be your hero 
And my heart beats...

Like the empires of the world unite 
We are alive 
And the stars make love to the universe 
You’re my wildfire every single night 
We are alive 
And the stars make love to the universe 
And you touch me 
And I’m like... and I’m like... and I’m like 
Oooo Oooo 
And I’m like Oooo Oooo 
And I’m like Oooo Oooo

I will follow you down wherever you go 
I am baby I’m bound to you and do you know 
Closer pull me in tight, I wanna be yours
Wanna be your hero 
And my heart beats...

Like the empires of the world unite 
We are alive 
And the stars make love to the universe 
You’re my wildfire every single night 
We are alive 
And the stars make love to the universe 
And you touch me 
And I’m like... and I’m like... and I’m like 
Oooo Oooo We are alive 
And I’m like Oooo Oooo 
We are alive 
And I’m like Oooo Oooo

I’m just gonna raise my head 
Walk up to the final edge 
And I’m gonna fall
(and the stars make love to the universe)
I’m just gonna raise my head 
And hold you close

Like the empires of the world unite 
We are alive 
And the stars make love to the universe 
You’re my wildfire every single night 
We are alive 
And the stars make love to the universe 
And you touch me 
And I’m like... and I’m like... and I’m like 
Oooo Oooo 
And I’m like Oooo Oooo 
And I’m like Oooo Oooo 
And I’m like Oooo Oooo

"YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME"

I fold your t-shirt
And I stripped your bed
I left you perfect
But there's no appreciation

I listened sweetly to your sour tone
I loved you only
But there's no reciprocation

Before you came along
It was all beautiful
I have nothing left
In my heart, in my soul
Should have never helped
You become so powerful
But I saw a champion in your eyes

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me

You say you're thirsty
So I pour the wine
The bottle's empty
But there's no consummation

Before you came along
It was all beautiful
I have nothing left
In my heart, in my soul
Should have never helped
You become so powerful
But I saw a champion in your eyes

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me

Oh, baby, how we used to dance
I couldn't separate from your hands
Now they don't even play that song anymore
You don't care about me

No, don't care about me
No, don't care about me
You don't care about me
Don't care about about me

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me

"DARE (LA LA LA)"

All of my life, too late
Till you showed up with perfect timing
Now here we are, you rock it
Our fingers are stuck in the socket
It's just the nature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover, from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober

Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor

La la la la la
Truth or dare on the dancefloor

La la la la la
I dare you
  
Of all the millions on the planet
You're the one who's keeping me on it
You know I like you, ain't nobody's business
Your blue Spanish eyes are my witness
It's just the nature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover, from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober

Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor

La la la la la
Truth or dare on the dancefloor

La la la la la
I dare you

Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
I dare you to touch me
It's truth or dare on the dancefloor

La la la la la

La la la la la
I dare you

"CUT ME DEEP"

Why do you say things
If you do not mean them
Why do you fill up my wounds
With your dirt

Bullets of fire
This time I can't shield them
Santa Maria, I know how it hurts

'Cause you cut me deep
Your words are like steel
And now I can't sleep
'Cause I'll never heal

Why do you make me believe we are spirits
Molded together to conquer this Earth
Climb up the mountains so high we can see them
Then send me to plummet with savaging words

'Cause you cut me deep (you cut me deep so deep so deep)
Your words are like steel (now every word is sharp like steal)
And now I can't sleep (I tried my best but I can't sleep)
'Cause I'll never heal

I am covered in scars
Like a rose without thorns
My defenses are gone
No one's out there to warn
If there's love in your heart
Let me leave now in peace
You know you took it too far

'Cause you cut me deep
Your words are like steel
And now I can't sleep
'Cause I'll never heal

You cut me deep
You cut me so deep

"23"

Everybody needs an anchor
A little something that makes you stay
An incentive
Someone to fight for
Cause no one really needs so much space
A couple years ago I was lonely
I used to think that there was no God
But then you looked at me with your blue eyes
And my agnosticism turned into dust
How well you know me
That I don’t care if the rest don’t
It doesn’t matter to me, no
As long as you love me
As long as we still have each other

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
‘Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23

God knows that I’m a good dancer
My feet can move to the music he plays
But there were times I asked for an answer
When he was acting in mysterious ways
And there were nights that I stayed up crying
Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change
But then you came and I saw you smiling
Just like an angel, so beautifully strange

And then you touched me
It's like you were made for me, oh
Like it was all meant to be, oh
And I was sure that you would love me
And that we'd always have each other

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
And I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23

Always thought that I was fine but I was wrong
It was you, that one piece I was missing
And I could do without you but it'd be no fun
I found you and life was suddenly easy
There ain't no worries now
There ain't no feeling down

I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
And I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23 

"THE ONE THING"

Every morning when I woke up
I was choked up
I was living without a purpose
Always jumping over hurdles
Doing circles
In the dark with a broken compass

I can't explain the way it feels
I could trip on my own words
I made mistakes, that much is clear
But I made it here my love
Yeah I made it here my love

You are the one thing that I got right
It's a fickle world, yeah, it's a fickle world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right

One thing I got right
One thing I got right

Every morning when you wake up
I wanna hold you
I just need to be wrapped around you
It's kinda funny when you think that
You just got here
Now I know I can't live without you

I can't explain the way it feels
I could choke on my own words
Sometimes it seems like it ain't real
But you're really here my love
Yeah, you're really here my love

You're the one thing that I got right
It's a fickle world, yeah, it's a fickle world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right

Everytime I see your smile
Everytime I hear your laugh
Baby you bring a new sunshine over now
You are the little dream
I had since I was a child
My fairytale comes true when I look at you
May not be here forever
But it'll be a long road together
I already know
We're gonna be fine, fine, fine
We're gonna be just fine, fine, fine

You are the one thing that I got right
It's a fickle world, yeah, it's a fickle world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl
And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right
You're the one thing that I got right

And if I mess up everything someday
I won't hide my head in shame
Cause you're the one thing that I got right
You're the one thing that I got right

One thing that I got right
One thing that I got right

"MEDICINE"

And I feel again losing my mind
Banging my head up against the wall
Staring at nothing cause I can't sleep at night
Can't make it stop, yeah I think too much
What do I do? Falling apart
I need a shock straight to my heart
No one would want to be in my shoes right now, oh

I don't reach for the bottle of whisky
Straight on the rocks
But you won't see me popping the pills
Po-po-popping the pills
Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My my my medicine, medicine
My my my medicine

You know you're an expert at complicating things
That's not how we were, believe me it's not over
But you make the war seem like such an easy game
Keeps me and my arguments come under
Down in the trenches, you are the white flag
Make me surrender
Want you so bad
Baby don't stop what you started
Don't ever be done, oh

I don't reach for the bottle of whisky
Straight on the rocks
But you won't see me popping the pills
Po-po-popping the pills
Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My my my medicine, medicine
My my my medicine

You make it all better, better
You make me feel whole
You make it all better, better
You make me feel whole

I don't reach for the bottle of whisky
No you won't see me popping the pills
Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my my my medicine, medicine
My my my medicine, medicine
My my my medicine

You make it all better, better
You make me feel whole
You make it all better, better
You make me feel whole

You're my my medicine

"SPOTLIGHT"

Boy meets a girl
Hid behind a wall
Piling up the bricks
Hoping they would fall

Girl meets a boy
Surrender to his charms
Leaves her old boyfriend
And crumbles in his arms

And if they wanna make me pay now
Then go on
Cause loving you was never wrong

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight
And it's hurting my eyes
Because it's so bright (so bright)
But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find
And I wouldn't give you up even if I end up blind

Lazy for a while
Laying golden eggs
Some just want your money
Or whatever they can take

But hearing your name
Don't need anyone else
You're here because you want me
And not for what I make

Hey, they better know
If there is a price to pay now, the game is on
Cause in the end you know I won

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight
And it's hurting my eyes
Because it's so bright (so bright)
But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find
And I wouldn't give you up even if I end up blind

And every camera flash my way
And every word of every page
Well they can say whatever they want to
Cause what we got is just so real
That they can't change the way I feel
Cause I would do it all again for you

Here is my life in the spotlight, spotlight
And it's hurting my eyes
Because it's so bright (so bright)
But you are the thing I was missing and I couldn't find
And I wouldn't give you up even if I end up blind

"BROKEN RECORD"

I'm older but you're wiser than anyone can see
Your patient like no other has ever been with me
Your eyes take me to places
I'd never dreamt about
Your voice is the only music I can't do without

There can't be any doubts now
We're just too far ahead to look behind
And above the good and bad

I need you to believe in my word
I feel like a broken record
And I've told you 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
My search is done

Can you put your trust in my word
I sound like a broken record
And I've said it 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
You are the one

Your hands that have no mercy
Are also my best friends
And I can get lost climbing on your legs that never end
I found a perfect distance between my body on you
And that is no distance, dear if that's alright with you
They said we wouldn't make it
But look at how we've beating all the odds
I just need you to be aware of that

I need you to believe in my word
I feel like a broken record
And I've told you 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
My search is done

Can you put your trust in my word
I sound like a broken record
And I've told you 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
You are the one

I just want you to take a leap of faith
No it's easy to make all the same mistakes
But I won't this time, no, not this time

I need you to believe in my word
I sound like a broken record
And I've said it 700 times
I don't need to keep looking
You are the one

A dozen icy summers were leading me to you
I had to hear the liars to recognize the truth
Remember the first Christmas
It almost seemed untrue
You promised that you'd always be with me
And I promised too

"NUNCA ME ACUERDO DE OLVIDARTE"

Me temo que si
Se trata de ti
Voy a repetir
El mismo error de ayer
Y como es natural
Suele suceder
Y no hay ciego peor que el que no quiere ver
Heme aqui vencida
Casi convencida que intentarlo es inutil
Y digo yo, que pasa conmingo
Mi peor castigo
Es que a donde vas ya sabes sabes que voy yo

Nunca me acuerdo de olvidarte
Nunca aprendi como dejarte ir
Mi mundo gira asi, alrededor de ti
Solo me acuerdo de una parte
Y no me acuerdo de olvidarte
Y no me acuerdo de olvidarte

Salto del tren
Caigo en tu red
Y vuelvo a pisar la piedra que pisé
Y mi corazon, se vuelve a partir
Y no hay sordo peor que el que no quiere oir
Estoy aqui vencida
Y casi convencida que no hay nadie mas idiota
Aqui que yo
Muero por tu boca en la boca mia
Y lo intento todo todo todo y no

Nunca me acuerdo de olvidarte
Nunca aprendi como dejarte ir
Mi mundo gira asi, alrededor de ti
Solo me acuerdo de una parte
Y no me acuerdo de olvidarte

Podria mentir
Matar o morir
Incluso algo mucho peor
Forzar el destino
Perder el camino
Con tal de no perder tu amor
Y todos me dicen que no desperdicie
Que el tiempo les da la razon
Ya llegará el dia
Que habra otro en mi vida
Que me quiera mas y mejor

Nunca me acuerdo de olvidarte
Nunca aprendi como dejarte ir
Mi mundo gira asi, alrededor de ti
Solo me acuerdo de una parte
Y no me acuerdo de olvidarte
Mi mundo gira asi, alrededor de ti
Solo me acuerdo de una parte
Y no me acuerdo de olvidarte

"LOCA POR TI"

En la arena escribi
Lo que te llego amar
Y aun no lo borra
Ni la sal del mar

Permiteme soñar
Que todavia estas aqui
Aun quiero seguir loca por ti

Sigo sola aqui en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aqui
Con la luna a contra luz
Me quedare, bebiendo esta copa a tu salud

Se que al amanecer
Mis lagrimas caeran
Y entre la lluvia se confundiran

Dejame continuar
Ebria y soñando aqui
Sabiendo que estoy
Loca por ti

Sigo sola aqui en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aqui
Con la luna a contra luz
Me quedare, bebiendo esta copa a tu salud

Sigo sola aqui en este parque
Falta todo si faltas tu
Imagino tu cuerpo aqui
Con la luna a contra luz
Y no me ire, sin antes brindar a tu salud

Me bebo esta copa a tu salud

"LA LA LA (Brasil 2014)"

La la la la la
I dare you

Feel how the planet's
Become one
Beats like a drum
To the same rhythm

Hear the whistle
Kick the ball
The entire world
Soars like an eagle

In Rio we play
Like we dance
Only today
There's no tomorrow

Leave all behind
In this place
There's no space
For fear or sorrow

Is it true that you want it
Then act like you mean it
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare can you feel it

La la la la la
I dare you

You have arrived
It's the place
No more doubts
The time is coming

Feel how the planet's
Become one
Like a drum
Destiny's calling

German, Colombians
Spanish and French
Off the bench
You gotta own it

Down here we play
Like we dance
It's Brazil
And now you know it

Is it true that you want it
Then act like you mean it
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare can you feel it

La la la la la
I dare you

Is it true that you want it
Then act like you mean it
The whole world is watching
It's truth or dare can you feel it

La la la la la
I dare you

"CHASING SHADOWS"

Sunrise blinded by the morning light
Already dreaming up tonight
I know that it won't be long
We can't hide
From the love that burns this strong

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love
Nothing, my love

Night time
And I am back in your arms
When all my dreams are brought to life
I know that it won't be long
We can't hide
From a love that burns this strong

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love

But it's just you and me
And we chase our shadows
We're waiting for, just waiting for
The sun to go down
But until it does
We'll chase our shadows
And when the night comes
We will run from nothing, my love
Nothing, my love

"THAT WAY"

I've got my baggage
And you've got yours
I know we've been damaged
Been through it all

And you know that feeling
You get just before a beautiful disaster
Right on the top
Looking down from the terrifying
Rolling roller coaster

Oh, baby, can you hear the sound?
My broken heart's beating faster now
In your arms
But I know that I'm safe here in your arms

Lay down
Lay down your head on my shoulder
Hey now
Let's just depart from the notion
That I love you too much
And I'm here to stay
I'm not giving up
I'm not running away
So we're gonna leave it that way
That way

This is much bigger than you and I
To live without love would be suicide
I'll sing you a song, close your pretty eyes
I like to hear your breathing
It's like the soundtrack of my life
The only memory I'm keeping

Oh, baby, can you hear the sound?
Your broken heart's beating faster now
In my arms
I promise that you're safe here in my arms

Lay down
Lay down your head on my shoulder
Hey now
Let's just depart from the notion
That I love you too much
And I'm here to stay
I'm not giving up
I'm not running away
So we're gonna leave it that way
We're gonna leave it that way
That way

"LA LA LA"

Lalalala
Adentro

Toda mi vida fue así
Tanto que busqué hasta que llegaste
Con esa boca que Dios te ha dao'
Ni obligada podría dejarte

Las ganas de ti me devoran
Los segundos de todas las horas
Tus dos luceros, son to' lo que quiero
Sin tus ojos azules me muero

Ven y bésame mucho
El mundo no importa
La noche comienza
No, no, no pares ahora

Lalalala
Porque yo siempre te llevo
Lalalala
Oh oh oh oh
Adentro

De to' lo que existe llano y profundo
Lo que más quiero en este mundo
Es estar a tu lado noche y día
Es así como viviría

Las ganas de ti me devoran
Los segundos de todas las horas
Tus dos luceros, son to' lo que quiero
Sin tus ojos azules me muero

Si de veras me quieres
Como yo te quiero
Ven, bésame ahora
Y bésame luego

Lalalala
Porque yo siempre te llevo
Lalalala
Oh oh oh oh
Adentro

Ven y bésame mucho
El mundo no importa
La noche comienza
No pares ahora, ahora...

Lalalala

Adentro

"BOIG PER TU"

En la terra humida escric
Saps que estic boig per tu
em passo els dies
esperant la nit.

Com et puc estimar
si de mi estàs tant lluny;
servil i acabat boig per tu.

Sé molt bé que des d´aquest bar
jo no puc arribar on ets tu,
però dins la meva copa veig
reflexada la teva llum, me la beuré;
servil i acabat boig per tu.

Quan no hi siguis al matí,
les llàgrimes es perdran
entre la pluja que caurà avui.

Em quedaré atrapat
ebri d´aquesta llum,
servil i acabat boig per tu.

Sé molt bé que des d´aquest bar
jo no puc arribar on ets tu,
però dins la meva copa veig
reflexada la teva llum, me la beuré;
servil i acabat boig per tu.

Sé molt bé que des d´aquest bar
jo no puc arribar on ets tu,
però dins la meva copa veig
reflexada la teva llum, me la beuré;
servil i acabat boig per tu,

servil i acabat boig per tu.
