Sacando Cuentas

Sometimes I can’t sleep, my mind’s racing
Trying to make sense of the present, just a bit
Letting it know that everything will be alright
That’s what maturity looks like

And I always wonder if I’m really the bad guy
At least that’s what some say about those I’ve helped
Until I set a boundary and say no
That’s when the nice guy runs out

What I promise you is I haven’t given up
On the dream of that kid, I still see it clear
I still hold onto that smile, that happiness
I’m about to make it happen

Counting up, I realized who’s in my corner
Though I’ve had to be the wolf in the story
Little Red Riding Hood never spoke the truth
She just wanted to devour the world and nothing more

What I promise you is I haven’t given up
On the dream of that kid, I still see it clear
I still hold onto that smile, that happiness
I’m about to make it happen

Counting up, I realized who’s in my corner
Though I’ve had to be the wolf in the story
Little Red Riding Hood never spoke the truth
She just wanted to devour the world and nothing more
And I always wonder if I’m really the bad guy.
