Lola Lyrics in English Paul Thin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lola by Paul Thin from Spanish to English.
Intro
Look how that sounds
Let's go, kid!
Lola
What were the reasons to be my shadow?
When I was the one who swallowed the leftovers
If you don't know what to feel when you fall in love
Verse 1
Twelfth of May, the neighbour
Opens the door for me, changes my life
Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry
But my heart's racing, like a sinner's in church
I remember perfectly that whole day
At home, screaming hoarse, the kid is magazine-ready
Three, four friends watching thousands of unknown faces
The cry nailed in the sky, because the kid has run into
Chorus 1
Lola
What were the reasons to be my shadow?
When I was the one who swallowed the leftovers
If you don't know what to feel when you fall in love
And tell me, Lola
What were the reasons to leave on your own?
When you sold that you loved me
And deep down it was only a pair of sheets
Verse 2
Time goes by and I don't see you
What was happiness went away in the wind
The minutes passed and I don't feel you anymore
The girl of all my dreams turned into an uncertain future
And before I asked myself how I managed to be with you
Now it's even hard to find just one reason
Let's go!
Chorus 2
And tell me, Lola
What were the reasons to be my shadow?
When I was the one who swallowed the leftovers
If you don't know what to feel when you fall in love
And tell me, Lola
What were the reasons to leave on your own?
When you sold that you loved me
And deep down it was only a pair of sheets
Bridge
And I'm going to forget you
With all the memories, all the Instagram photos
I'll pretend I don't know your gaze
And my heart threw out the bad to save me from you
Chorus 3
Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola
What were the reasons to be my shadow?
If you don't know what to feel when you fall in love
And tell me, Lola
What were the reasons to leave on your own?
When you sold that you loved me
My heart threw out the bad to save me from you
Outro
Twelfth of May, the neighbour
Not even one look and it faded away
I don't even remember what it was I wanted anymore
By playing at being someone who
Lived in the mind of
Lola
That's it

SONG MEANING

Lola paints the roller-coaster of a whirlwind crush that turns into a stinging heartbreak. Paul Thin takes us to 12 May, the day a chance encounter with the mysterious Lola flips his life upside-down. At first, every heartbeat races “like a sinner in church” as he basks in puppy-love bliss, convinced the girl next door is his destiny. But the chorus quickly flips the script: he keeps asking her, “Why become my shadow if you never knew how to love?” That nagging question drives the whole song, mixing fiery Spanish slang with a British indie edge.

As verses pass, the glow fades and reality bites. Lola’s grand “I love you” turns out to be nothing more than “a pair of sheets,” and what once felt like forever evaporates into a “future uncertain.” Paul Thin storms through denial, anger, and release—vowing to erase every photo, every memory, every trace of her on Instagram. The track is equal parts cathartic breakup anthem and coming-of-age confession, reminding listeners how electrifying, confusing, and ultimately liberating it can be to rip off the band-aid of first love.
