Lyrics Mariposa - Omar Rodríguez-López

Mariposa

Stolen letters pile up
The urge to read them start to grow
Evil things attached to me being to rip the envelopes
Suddenly I see the name a part of me wants to ignore
There is nothing you can say to me
To change this truth without a word
Now give me back the years I slaved for you
There is nothing left for us to say
I gave you everything for you to throw away
I never thought that you could stray
My love for you has been an aerosol
It’s my time to move on out and still you can’t accept the fact
That nothing here will become between my love
There is nothing you can say to me
To change this truth without a word
Now give me back the years I slaved for you
There is nothing left for us to say
You blew it up the day you met Emily Jean
A whisper from your room cut through the chills
Our life is just another Woody Allen movie
I can sense the two of you evolving
Through the letters that she kept from writing to you
There is nothing you can say to me
To change this truth without a word
Now give me back the years I slaved for you
There is nothing left for us to say
I gave you everything for you to throw away
There is nothing left for us to say
You blew it up the day you met Emily Jean
