Papi

I forgive you

Papi 
I know 
the constant pain you feel ow 
The brightness in your eyes is long gone 
America is slowly killing you 
work, money, me 

Papi 
You are like a morir soñando on a hot day so sweet and cold 
I know you miss it all 
the people, the food, the music 
A place with so many vivid memories it ain't leavin' your head soon 
I don't miss it 
cause how can you miss a place that never made you 

Papi 
Believe me 
I'm a ghost 
The thorns of a rose hurt you less than my lack of words 
Keeping up with my silence is wearing you down, 
hopefully all the grudges in my heart will one day drown 

Papi 
I know I dont say 
"te quiero mucho" 
Believe me 
those words are engraved in my soul 
waiting to be free one day 

Papi 
I know things are difficult 
I hope we're okay 
soon my future would provide for us you'll be able to eat at a dinner table 
Even though I'm a mess, I will be able
 
Papi 
You've worked all your life 
Coming to a new country 
ain't easy when you 27 

Papi 
Everything will be okay 
Quisqueya isn't going anywhere 
it will be there 
waiting for you 

Papi 
Forgive me for any harm I've caused you 
I forgive you
