In case we by no means speak once more
And my favourite eyes don’t have a look at me once more

And I’m not going to make myself robust

Everybody right here is aware of that I’m gonna cry, I’m gonna miss you
Sure, there may be nothing to cover right here
However there are a pair of issues that I wish to get off my chest.
All people is aware of, everyone is aware of
All people is aware of, everyone is aware of
All people is aware of, they know s–t
All people is aware of, everyone is aware of
All people is aware of, everyone is aware of
They are saying they know, they know s–t
We’ve argued
I discover it onerous to precise myself
All my shortcomings you already know
I additionally must put up along with your issues
However the choice of eradicating myself by no means crossed my thoughts.
And what a pity, {couples} now not final
They final slightly, there are few previous folks left
To inform us their little methods
How can I see
All my life with you, the daybreak?
And mami I don’t have the reply for this
However I beloved each your qualities and defects equally
The whole lot will get more durable with time
However not all individuals are ready for this
And I don’t blame you, the life we lead just isn’t for everybody
The press, social media, peer pressures
Being away is harder, simpler collectively
We work continuous however to what extent
Being in our little camp is value greater than all the cash and fame
To get up and see you by my aspect
I don’t really feel like getting off the bed
Hey, all my songs are for you since Afrodisíaco
Everybody is aware of that, that’s irrelevant
It’s that I can’t cease lacking her sleeping in my arms
I don’t know how you can cease occupied with that final hug
And if I had recognized that it was going to be the final one, I wouldn’t have let her go
Possibly now she can be by my aspect
Watching films in tuck in mattress
However this summer season I needed to be just like the solar, alone
I could also be many issues, however by no means untrue
She at all times had the important thing to my cell
This was one thing else that isn’t in my energy
My crystal lady, my paper boat
You disarmed and I attempted to repair you
And though you went far-off from me, I stayed
Now I’m not right here however I would like you to know that
You might be stronger than you assume
And I hope sometime we will giggle on the previous
There are not any grudges right here, this isn’t a grievance
You probably have given me the perfect days
That’s why I’ve your title tattooed on my stomach, ma
I gave you the whole lot and I’d do it once more
I’ll end our little home in case you’re feeling like coming again
Right now I cease writing you, not loving you
Easy methods to overlook your kisses after that nap?
All people is aware of, everyone is aware of
All people is aware of, everyone is aware of
All people is aware of, they know s–t
All people is aware of, everyone is aware of
All people is aware of, everyone is aware of
They are saying they know, they know s–t
To complete

It’s simply that one other such as you I actually don’t assume exists
You’re the most lovely cowl of all magazines
I’d know even when I couldn’t see
If simply by listening to your voice
The ocean calms down from any torment
Hundreds of individuals agree
I don’t say it due to this sense
And from Los Angeles I knew it
She is my MOTOMAMI
What’s going to come subsequent? I don’t know
However I do know that for you it is going to be all of the Grammys, hey
They may research your artwork over time
Once they plan I do know that they at all times take you for instance
And even when they copy you, they may fail within the try
As a result of solely God chooses just a few with that expertise
You might be real, you’re superb, you’re, you’re pure pleasure, huh
You might be drugs
You heal my coronary heart
All these nights at residence dancing to our tune
And if life brings me along with you on one other event
I received’t argue with destiny’s purpose
As soon as once more I’m staying right here with out you
D–n, child, I’m gonna miss you
I didn’t see this coming to an finish, yeah
