I watched her carry, carry the weight Of the world on her shoulders, nobody noticed And now she’s wishing, wishing away All the days she was holding, but never owning And all she wanted was for him to wonder How she’s doing, But he’s been gone for so long, that she doesn’t even know him All your questions, the burden of truth How many shreds of your heart Must be lost for the bruise, so Don’t waste your tears, don’t waste your tears On Santiago, ’cause He’ll never hear, he’ll never hear Don’t blame yourself, no And now she’s living, living the life And with each celebration, there’s no consolation She’s not the first and she won’t be the last Just a daily reminder that, You’ll never find her… She’s wondering what life would be like If he’s there to love her Until then, she’ll keep searching In each man to find no answer All your questions, the burden of truth How many shreds of your heart Must be lost for the bruise, so Don’t waste your tears, don’t waste your tears On Santiago, ’cause He’ll never hear, he’ll never hear Don’t blame yourself, no Santia-santia-santiago He’ll never know, never know, never know, no Santia-santia-santiago He’ll never know, never know, never know, no You can’t miss what you never had You can’t miss what you never had Don’t waste your tears, don’t waste your tears On Santiago, (Don’t waste your tears, don’t waste your tears On Santiago) ‘Cause He’ll never hear, he’ll never hear Don’t blame yourself, no Santia-santia-santiago He’ll never know, never know, never know, no Don’t blame yourself, blame yourself, blame yourself, no He’ll never know, never know, never know, no Don’t blame myself, blame myself, blame myself, no He’ll never know, never know, never know, no Santiago, Santiago, Santiago Santiago, Santiago, Santiago
