Cada Quien

In the days of failures and fantasies
For wanting to listen to me, that's how I learned
I didn't believe I would stumble again
I didn't think I would find myself with all this
And I can't go beyond what I live
And I can't talk about hate without talking about love
Each one must take charge of their condition
Each one knows very well where they went wrong
Hearts in silence when the ego speaks
So much harm in words and fire in the eyes
There are no culprits and no victims in this game
If learning is the purpose, I surrender to learn
And the most difficult path to walk
Is the one that is not understood because it is being looked at backwards
And life is more difficult to understand
When a situation is not interpreted as it should be
Each one has something to learn
Understand me, give me time and let me grow
I know that with this I learn and so do you
With time we will heal and be fine
Each one has something to learn
Understand me, give me time and let me grow
I need to be at peace and I know you do too
With time we will heal and be fine
How much does a completely honest conversation cost
Without fearing that a direct phrase might hurt me
Drafting the words of a restless mind
Repressing them even though I know it affects me
Choosing between feeling a sense of guilt
For thinking it was wrong to say what one feels
There is no worse problem than the one we invent
Pretending to interpret how the other feels
How foolish can it be to be so convinced
That keeping quiet would avoid a problem with me
Avoiding confrontations to be calm
The storm was avoided and the river dried up
And so the drought did not water the heart
And a dry heart withers under the sun
And living through this tough process taught me
That honesty is not pity or compassion
Each one has something to learn
Understand me, give me time and let me grow
I know that with this I learn and so do you
With time we will heal and be fine
Each one has something to learn
Understand me, give me time and let me grow
I need to be at peace and I know you do too
With time we will heal and be fine
