El problema

El problema no fue hallarte,
El problema es olvidarte.
El problema no es tu ausencia,
El problema es que te espero.
El problema no es problema,
El problema es que me duele.
El problema no es que mientas,
El problema es que te creo.

El problema no es que juegues,
El problema es que es conmigo.
Si me gustaste por ser libre,
Quién soy yo para cambiarte.
Si me quedé queriendo solo,
Cómo hacer para obligarte.
El problema no es quererte
Es que tú no sientas lo mismo.

Y cómo deshacerme de tí, si no te tengo?
Cómo alejarme de tí, si estás tan lejos?
Como encontrarle una pestaña a lo que nunca tuvo ojos,
Como encontrarle plataformas a lo que siempre fue un barranco,
Como encontrar en la alacena los besos que no me diste.
Y cómo deshacerme de tí, si no te tengo?
Cómo alejarme de tí, si estás tan lejos?
Y es que el problema no es cambiarte.....
El problema es que no quiero.

El problema no es que duela,
El problema es que me gusta.
El problema no es el daño,
El problema son las huellas.
El problema no es lo que haces,
El problema es que lo olvido.
El problema no es que digas,
El problema es lo que callas.

The Problem

Versions: #1 #2#3#4

The problem is not to have found you,
The problem is forgetting you.
The problem is not your absence,
The problem is that I wait for you.
The problem is not “The Problem”,
The problem is that it hurts.
The problem is not you lying,
The problem is that I believe you.

The problem is not that you play,
The problem is that you do it with me.
If I liked you for being “free”,
Who I am to change you?
If I’ve ended up in love by myself,
What can I do to compel you?
The problem is not that I'm loving you,
It's you not feeling the same way...

And, how do I get rid of you if I don't have you?
How to move away from you if you’re already so far?
How can I find a single eyelash on something that never had eyes?
How do I find platforms on something that was always an abyss?
How can I find stored in the cupboard, the kisses you never gave me?

And, how do I get rid of you if I don't have you?
How to move away from you if you’re already so far?
It’s just that the problem is not to make you change,
The problem is that I don't want you to.

The problem is not it hurting,
The problem is that I like it.
The problem is not the damage,
The problem are the remaining marks.
The problem is not the things you do,
The problem is that I forget you do them.
The problem is not what you say,
The problem is what you keep quiet.
