I was pacing every room with no where to turn Wondering if some things should ever be learned I never thought that things would end up like this When the initial intentions led only to bliss Then I called the only friend that I could trust Asked him for a little time My father answered the line and without asking much He listened and then spoke his mind. He said: "Hay cosas en la vida, that will swallow your pride Hay cosas en la vida that might deceive your mind Hay cosas en la vida that will try to break your heart Hay cosas en la vida, from them you must part" For endless hours he heard me go on About how everything started to go wrong It's ironic how my whole life I've been Chasing after some romantic dream "Often jealously takes on a good disguise And changes someone before your eyes Baby, don't look back and don't drown in reget Your life can quickly pass you by" (Chorus) " Sometimes things are not quite what they seem to be Sometimes answers hit harder than steel Sometimes trust is more precious than diamonds And all that glitters is not always real" I sent him all my love as I hung up the phone Sitting in the silence I didn't feel so alone It's always those who love you that stand by your side When all the others just leave the pieces behind That morning after felt like two bottles of gin I still can't remember where I've been I'll cleanse my soul of all this false love I've known And make my father's words my own.
