Aventura Sings Sweet sorrows

Haven’t you missed me?

I was your obsession till you decided she was.

No es amor, no es my love.

Pero, te quiero te quiero.

Por un segundo I thought you’d come home.

& when you didn’t,

mi corazoncito

couldn’t take the

pain.

You tattooed her name

on your heart and threw mine away.

But Romeo,

Romeo, He sang to me every night I missed you.

Eventually, I understood what I was feeling.

I was brok en. I was being.

“Dime que me amas.

Cuando volveras?

Solo por un beso.”

Eventually, I missed you no longer.

Now, por cada segundo I say,

“Fuck you.”
