No me tires flores (part. Alejandro Sanz)

I asked for more friends for this new year
Every day I have less, losing more
How many people say 'I love you' today?
That’s not said unless it’s for real

I don’t confuse pretty with new
I value much more what time brings
Saying it more than once can be good, babe
I learned that after giving you so much more

I look ahead so I don’t get distracted
Sometimes I arrived late or lost it waiting
Without mistakes, everything would be different
For now, I’ve learned more from losing than winning

No, don’t throw me flowers, that’s for the dead
I don’t need anyone, I get that now
A billion won’t buy what we have
If you love me like I love you, everything’s perfect

Sometimes, I just need to have my feet in the sand
The dream of all of us together has come true, a house by the sea
We’ve seen everything on this beach, but never mermaids
Though, with a little imagination, it could be true

If they asked for my opinion, I’d say that no matter how far I go, I won’t reach the end
And my message for a restless mind is that, in the end, it’s better not to think

I’m close to you, and even if you’re not here
You don’t need to turn your back on me
The best friendships are the ones that talk the least

Take me where everything is flowers
Love me if it’s like I love you
This life is too intense to walk in fear

Don’t hide where they hide
You move forward, and we’ll see later
If in the end, they all come running, we already know each other

No, don’t throw me flowers, that’s for the dead
I don’t need anyone, I get that now
A billion won’t buy what we have
If you love me like I love you, everything’s perfect
