Graciela / Carta A Mi Abuela

Hey, they made me write this, hurt and out of patience
If you saw me crying, it’s just a coincidence
I carry my own demons, surviving the withdrawal
The punishment of life is in your absence

I’m the broken piece that stops the gears
Just one poorly written verse and the flowers I brought you
I know the way, but I don’t know the toll
Even the gray afternoons are part of the scenery

In her rainbow gaze, I try to hit the right note
I found her name a few times like Sarah Connor
Part of the past is only in what we are
I tried to write while singing, never hit a semitone

I’m standing right in the middle of nothing
The clown’s smile, half my face painted
I’m just looking for an excuse
That after you, there’s nothing, after you, there’s nothing

And I vent in my own way
From her breasts to her belly, it became a highway
I lost her along with her rules, rejecting her guidance
I went from lobster to just bread with Nutella

And let it hurt whoever it hurts, that’s how I connect with my crowd
My style made me a classic, my voice made me unique
My verse is therapy, the kind that’s public domain
I ran into her again, I wonder if she remembers me

Closer and closer to thirty-three
Since the day you left, it’s almost been sixteen
Based on lessons, I had to learn, I had to lose
Sometimes it’s gonna burn, and that’s alright

Visit me while I’m sleeping, I just want to see you
And even if the one above has plans, I’m grateful to have met you
A big difference between healing and pretending to be strong
Your memory stays alive, your memory here is forever

Visit me while I’m sleeping, I just want to see you
See you, see you, see you, see you, see you
Visit me while I’m sleeping, I just want to see you
See you, see you, see you, see you, see you
Visit me while I’m sleeping, I just want to see you
See you, see you, see you, see you, see you
Visit me while I’m sleeping, I just want to see you
And even if the one above has plans, I’m grateful to have met you

No-no-no, I’m not hungry for love
But I don’t want to spend every night wasted
My-my-my arms looking at me
Or the light off tracing lines with the glow of a cigarette
Visit me while I’m sleeping, I just want to see you
Visit me while I’m sleeping, I just want to see you
Visit me while I’m sleeping, I just want to see you
