Queria Ser Lyrics in English ÁTOA

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Queria Ser by ÁTOA from Portuguese to English.

I can't stand being like this

But time passes

I lose courage just by looking at you

And as much as I want to

I'm left speechless

Just thinking about telling you and you saying no

I thought about leaving

But I won't

For now

I show that I am

Less than I wanted to be

I show that I am

I am less than I wanted to be

For now

I am less than I wanted to be

Even if I say it

I won't go back

I choose my words

I memorize my lines

But I'm not capable

Of talking to you

And showing you that something has changed

I thought about leaving

But I won't

For now

I show that I am

Less than I wanted to be

I show that I am

I am less than I wanted to be

For now

I am less than I wanted to be

I show that I am

I am less than I wanted to be

Will I ever be able

To speak while you look at me

But I ask how you are

You ask where you are

And the conversation doesn't go beyond that

But who knows if it's late or early

I can barely remember how it started

I know I hide a secret from you

That the heart accepts

But the mouth refused

I show that I am

I am less than I wanted to be

For now

I am less than I wanted to be

I show that I am

I am less than I wanted to be
