Cara Bonita, Alma Rota

I smile for the photo
But no one sees what bleeds

You see me coming, everyone turns around
They say I shine, that everything suits me
Pretty face, full gaze
But inside, nobody stays

I learned to sell what I don't feel
Stand strong even though it's falling
They call me cold, they call me fire
They know nothing about what I'm carrying

They desire me without knowing me
They love me without touching me at my core
If you could see what's dying on me
They wouldn't ask to be with me

Pretty face, broken soul
Easy kiss, exploding faith
You see me as whole, but it's a lie
It's just a facade that looks at you

Pretty face, broken soul
Skin that shines, guilt that drowns
If you approach, I make no promises
May you emerge cleansed from this body

I use charm as armor
I use desire as a bite
They tell me, Stay tonight
I'm staying, but not life

Hearts seeking refuge
I have nowhere to go
I make sex an interlude
So I don't think, so I don't cry

Don't ask me to be good
I became like this because I endured it
Everything pure is gone from me
The first time I wanted to love

Pretty face, broken soul
Easy kiss, exploding faith
You see me as whole, but it's a lie
It's just a facade that looks at you

Pretty face, broken soul
Skin that shines, guilt that drowns
If you approach, I make no promises
I hope you get out of this hell alive

And when I turn off the light
There is nothing left to show
Just a guy in front of the mirror
Wondering how bad it is

I am not what you want
I am what will break you

Pretty face, broken soul
It's not the person who notices me who fixes me
If you love me, look closely
There's no happy ending here either

Pretty face, broken soul
This can't be cured with clothes
If you touch me, I'm warning you
I don't know how to love without being dead

I smile for the photo
But nobody stays after
