Lyrics If It Was a Snake It Would Have Bit You - Omar Rodríguez-López

If It Was a Snake It Would Have Bit You

Turn around and see what’s behind you
Turn around to see what’s always been there
Given the time you will do everything wrong
Turn around and see that you’ve been cursed by me
Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Through the throes of life
Found half the time it came from my own pocket
Gotta count the ways to see defeat all around
Turn around to see it’s always been there
Black heart
You make me happy
You said my
Black heart
arms that hold me
To death now
Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Oye Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Could it be that we’ve given up the fight
Left it all on the floor in the hands of time
And when the ones you cared for stop coming around
You finally take the time to figure it all out
Figure it all out
Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Oye Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Maria
Yo te canto esta canción
Yo te canto
