Sé
Dave Bolaño
Know
I know you pray even though you lie
That you don't see but you see me
I know you hide what you feel
Because you doubt what you believe
I know you laugh while you cry
Because living gave you stress
What you gained by building your bourgeois appearance
I know you walk around the neighborhood with a broken heart
That you wear yourself out working for a very short salary
That love stopped loving you, that someone stole your part
And that you wake up every day even though you don't want to
I know you walk in a world where no one walks anymore
That even though you're always with two, your loneliness never ends
That your chat is always full of supposed fancy people
Even though you miss every day the one who loved you when you were in ruins
I know because I was in the place reflected today in your mirror
I see it because I saw how I used to be the idiot I call today
I also argued to contradict someone I thought was already old
And then I lived what he told me and today I complain about the same
I know you sleep little at night
Because hearing your own voice confuses you
I know you travel alone in your car
Even though you'd like to be with your plus one
I know you forgot that dream that as a child you wanted with excitement
I know you now want a child to achieve what you couldn't
Money never covered what you knew was worth it and you never saw it
Your whole environment admires you and they don't know you miss what you lost
I know your lack of arguments left you believing tales
That you no longer fight for the poor because you're eating like a rich
That now you like other things that blow new winds
Although if I talk to you about debts, interest is breaking you
I know you lack empathy
That you once had
I know cowardice won
That now pays you month to month
That your family comes first but you see them once a year
And even though the years go by, your immaturity hasn't passed
I know because I saw that on your Instagram you share everything about your day
And you never share who paid or took the photo at the bay
You go to church on Sundays even though you believe in witchcraft
You were also unfaithful but judged your partner for doing it
I know you sleep little at night
Because hearing your own voice confuses you
I know you travel alone in your car
Even though you'd like to be with your plus one
The beer in your head makes you see everything upside down
Sometimes it takes away what weighs on you and frees you from stress
I always say what I think if you see me face to face
I never knew how to be different from what I was in my childhood
Maybe you know it because you feel different from others
Perhaps you're grateful for the lyrics I wrote and you saw your face
I was also a coward until I saw that I was afraid of the same monster
That I built to take care of the broken child
I know you fear the future that torments you every month
And even though you feel young, your youth is old age
Love is gone and even though it's in you, you never see it in others
When this song ends, I'll be checkmate in your chess
I know because I was in the place reflected today in your mirror
I see it because I saw how I used to be the idiot I call today
I also argued to contradict someone I thought was already old
And then I lived what he told me and today I complain about the same
I know you sleep little at night
Because hearing your own voice confuses you
I know you travel alone in your car
Even though you'd like to be with your plus one
