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 Ive been

chasing after some romantic dream


Often jealously takes on a good disguise

and changes someone before your eyes

Baby, dont look back and dont 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 didnt feel so alone

its 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 cant remember where Ive been

Ill cleanse my soul of all this false love Ive known

and make my fathers words my own.
