Mariposa - Omar Rodríguez-López

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
