Contar Hasta 3
Santiago Cruz
Count to 3
I wish nothing would tear your skin
I wish the world wasn't so cruel
I wish to prevent you from falling asleep crying at night
I wish no one would break your faith
That the sole of your foot never bleeds
That when you break, I can gather the pieces
Cover you with my arms, tell you it shouldn't be like this
It's okay to be happy
It's okay to do good to ourselves
It's okay to taste failure
Bite your lips, count to three
It's okay to resist
Even if you can't take it anymore
And despite every slam of the door, bite your lips, count to three
Or to ten
Sometimes you learn, sometimes you faint
Sometimes you get lost in the vastness
And sometimes I fall into the trap and fall asleep crying, silently screaming
Knowing it shouldn't be like this
It's okay to be happy
It's okay to do good to ourselves
It's okay to taste failure
Bite your lips, count to three
It's okay to resist
Even if you can't take it anymore
And despite every slam of the door, bite your lips, count to three
Count to a hundred if you prefer
As many times as necessary
Count while you gather strength
It's okay to be happy
It's okay to do good to ourselves
It's okay to taste failure
Bite your lips, count to three
It's okay to resist
Even if you can't take it anymore
And despite every slam of the door, bite your lips, count to three
Or to ten
