I Do Not Drink From An Others Bottle

Ya no lo niego I love you
With all my soul, en me corazon
Love songs sang your tone
But, it’s been some time
I erased you from my phone
Wiped the computer clean of you
Yet, en las noches mis suenos son de ti
I hear memories of sweet melodies

I won’t deny my soul tie
in acceptance I’m released
From pretending there was no pain
Maybe its better this way
Why should you stay

Been years now what you’ve been up too
I smile  solo en el Mundo
Te tenia que eliminar
El dolar muy profundo
Esa botella no lo puedo tomar

I can’t tear you from my veins
All those wasted years
Imagine that you were for life
So I took all memories 
Cut you loose
I wish you well from the noose

I won’t deny my soul tie
in acceptance I’m released
From pretending there was no pain
Maybe its better this way
Why should you stay

Fighting my war my sin
Dreams and thoughts none comprehend
If you find me again 
I’ll be kicking rocks
Living life’s hard knocks
Your departure made me strong
And your presence a fading song

Si encuentro alguna chica solo dios sabe
Si no encuentro alguna chica solo dios

No estoy solo 
I’m not alone

And I will never drink from the bottle of another man’s beer
Much better to walk away without tears
