Aprendiz de Caballero

Like a little soldier collapsed by the moon at your window
Like that accent searching for its word, that's how I am
It's true, it never gave me hope
but it didn't take it away either
Maybe it was the damn doubt
that led me to the mistake

Like a desolate paradise
without ribs or apples
like the dumbest apprentice knight of Camelot
like Scarlett O'Hara remained
watching that wind that took away
everything she loved the most
that's why she swore:

Today I don't leave my house
I'm no longer interested in what's outside
She wouldn't kiss me even if a thousand prophets predicted it
She always told me with her melody
that one day I would cry
And now that I'm alone between four walls
surrounded by posters of beautiful women
I'm slowly realizing that only you matter to me
And that my lips no longer belong to the graveyard
where yours come to die
You've cut off my air and without remedy
It will be hard for me to survive
You've thrown me into the sea with tied feet
and holding memories with my hands

Like a cigarette butt well marked
by the red of your lips
Like only Peter Pan
since you took the bread away
Like a fool doing foolish things
or that's what my mom says
Sitting at the bus stop in front of your house
just like Forrest Gump

Today I don't leave my house
I'm no longer interested in what's outside
She wouldn't kiss me even if a thousand prophets predicted it
She always told me with her melody
that one day I would cry
And now that I'm alone between four walls
surrounded by posters of beautiful women
I'm slowly realizing that only you matter to me
And that my lips no longer belong to the graveyard
where yours come to die
You've cut off my air and without remedy
It will be hard for me to survive
You've thrown me into the sea with tied feet
and holding memories with my hands

And in the past I stayed, when you went crazy
whenever I touched you where you slip in love
underneath the clothes
whenever you shot me with your love point-blank
when you asked me for war... again and again

Like a little soldier collapsed by the moon at your window
