De Pequeño Fue El Coco

Today, after a thousand twists, I finally came to a conclusion
I was my first love
The first to touch me and wink at me in the mirror
The first to spot all my insecurities
The first one who said, "Hey Ramón
I think you’re being a real jerk."
Because I’m my first love and my worst enemy
Loving myself while I’m putting on my Christ spurs

It could be that in loving myself so much, I forgot I’m my own enemy
It could be that I’ve spent years taking advantage of myself
I know myself so well that I exploit my weaknesses
And I know when I’m most likely to do more mischief
I’m a mischievous kid hiding in a man’s body
When I was little, it was the boogeyman, and now it’s his wife who messes with me

Today, after a thousand twists, I finally understood
That this is really who I am
That it’s not worth fighting to change certain things
Not all caterpillars can become butterflies
I told myself, "Ramón, you have to accept yourself
It’s the only way to move forward."
Because this is me, my first love and my worst enemy
Loving myself while I’m putting on my Christ spurs

It could be that in loving myself so much, I forgot I’m my own enemy
It could be that I’ve spent years taking advantage of myself
I know myself so well that I exploit my weaknesses
And I know when I’m most likely to do mischief
I’m a mischievous kid hiding in a man’s body
When I was little, it was the boogeyman, and now it’s his wife who messes with me

You yourself with your own body
Told me, "You know what you’re doing."
As I replied
"Come on man, don’t mess with me."
You know the cemetery is full of brave souls
I tell myself under my breath while I respond with an angry gesture

It could be that in loving myself so much, I forgot I’m my own enemy
It could be that I’ve spent years taking advantage of myself
I know myself so well that I exploit my weaknesses
And I know when I’m most likely to do mischief
I’m a mischievous kid hiding in a man’s body
When I was little, it was the boogeyman, and now it’s his wife who messes with me
