It Ain't The Same Thing

by Alejandro Sanz - Aquarius

You're so many people all in one
so tell me, with whom will I talk now?
Can't you see, we're not the same
you're telling me to stay with you
promising to torment me
promising to give me bad times
Girl, I promise if you hear me
I'll show you intrigue
it's not the same thing
stay and you'll just see


It ain't the same thing
staying with someone as being with someone, please!
even staying with someone isn't the same as stopping
it's not the same
maybe it's that we're not together at all
we're not even in the same place
we don't plan on staying together
but it is different to conform or to fight
it's not the same
it is very clear

It is not the same to be intriguing
as it is to gratify desires
it is not the same to be just
how just is it for you?
It is not the same that you become informed
as another woman would
it is not the same when there are others
who want to try and confuse us
but we have hearts that are not equal, 
we feel it...it is very clear

But alas...maybe I deserve it
except speaking my mind
I will not sell out
on the contrary...whatever they think about us
read my lips...I'm not for sale

Maybe we both deserve it
except we shouldn't sell out our voices
and whatever they might think about us
read my lips...I don't give a fuck

Through any gateway or in the air I suffocate
It is not about what side you want to be on
to take a side or to push aside
I don't know how to tell you this
It ain't the same
living is the most dangerous thing that life has to offer
they can say through television
that there is a loose heart
it's not the same as it is dangerous
it is very clear

It is not the same to suffice or to be something
it is not the same to express, judge, impose, or order
the black lists, the white hands
it is not the same
the one with the most willingness will not win
what more can you be given
it's not like an "ism"
it is very clear

But alas...maybe I deserve it
except my speaking my mind
I will not sell out
on the contrary...whatever they think about us
read my lips...I'm not for sale

Maybe we both deserve it
except we shouldn't sell out our voices
and whatever they might think about us
read my lips...I don't give a fuck

I have the cure for your pain
Remedies for all types of mistakes
Even a cure for disillusionment


It ain't the same





Reason for writing:

    porque thee...
