Contempt

Contempt by Aventura
 
Swear to me right now by God
That you never forgot me
And if you tell me there is no love
With pain I will have to leave.
 
I will leave with much sorrow
I will carry in my veins
The contempt of this love.
 
And if through matters of destiny
You repent along the way
I don't accept an apology from you.
 
And also swear to me (my) heart
That you didn't forget those caresses
If in an instant from this song
The memory of what was in your life returned.
 
And if you realize that you still love me
And you later reject me
Give my heart courage
For to think that you reject me
Agitates my patience
And I feel worthless.
 
If this is contempt,
What I deserve
Help me, my God
I ask you, my Lord
I know that I am at fault
I only wanted to love her
I failed in love.
 
If it is madness
That you may love me
Well, lie to me, my love
And do it with shame
I prefer that you pretend for me
To what you give me sincerely
You destroy the illusion.
 
If this is contempt,
What I deserve
Help me, my God
I ask you, my Lord
I know that I am at fault
I only wanted to love her
I failed in love.
 
If it is madness
That you may love me
Well, lie to me, my love
And do it with shame
I prefer that you pretend for me
To what you give me sincerely
You destroy the illusion.
 
If this is contempt I can't go on
Tell me a lie and I convert it to my truth.
 
If this is contempt,
What I deserve
Help me, my God
I know that I am at fault
I only wanted to love her
I failed in love.
 
If it is madness
That you may love me
Well, lie to me, my love
And do it with shame
I prefer that you pretend for me
To what you give me sincerely
You destroy the illusion.
 
Not the illusion
No no no not the illusion\
No not the illusion
No not the illusion

You are the greatest! Thank you so much. Maybe the misspellings were why I had such a hard time. I just couldn't figure out some of them.

That wouldn't surprise me in the least. I had to look at some of the misspelled words for a time and say to myself "what *real* word could that possibly be?"

You're welcome and Happy New Year :)
