MARIPOSAS (part. Leire Martínez)

Words don't come easy to me
So here’s something you can understand
There are ghosts of the past in my home
A silence that’s deafening

Zero contact, I can’t even see you
The same damn conversation as always
I wish we’d never met so I wouldn’t know how it feels to lose you

I won’t forget the kisses from yesterday
My love is gone, I don’t want to accept it
I’ll cry for you, I wish you’d never left, but you’re not here, iah-iah-iah

I don’t want to think I’m left with so many kisses and roses
For giving you my love, crying with a trembling voice
I ask you to think things through
I’d rather argue out loud than have this house so quiet
You left and took the butterflies with you, ah-ah-ah

Inside I feel it’s too late
But I won’t stop seeing you everywhere
Take the pain away so I can heal
You take it so I can forget you

I wasn’t ready to delete the photos
You’re still all over the gallery
I changed your name on WhatsApp
First and last name out of courtesy

If in the end, what does it matter if you don’t call me?
I feel chills every time someone mentions you
Feeling more alone, almost no one can stand me
I paint in watercolor what I see in nightmares

The devil tells me to make life shorter
Everything I love ends up hurting
The lost look every day of the year
I keep your cologne, I treasure it like gold

If I close my eyes, I almost feel you’re here
And that you’re still two hours away painting yourself to go out
And I keep bringing you jasmine branches
2023, the last time I was happy
Neither with you nor without you

I won’t forget the kisses from yesterday
My love is gone, I don’t want to accept it
I’ll cry for you, I wish you’d never left, but you’re not here, iah-iah-iah

I don’t want to think I’m left with so many kisses and roses
For giving you my love, crying with a trembling voice
I ask you to think things through
I’d rather argue out loud than have this house so quiet
You left and took the butterflies with you, ah-ah-ah

I don’t want to think I’m left with so many kisses and roses
For giving you my love, crying with a trembling voice
I ask you to think things through
I’d rather argue out loud than have this house so quiet
You left and took the butterflies with you, ah, butterflies

Dancing, dancing, dancing like making love
