We met in the downtown
You wear your contagious smile
All ages and faces can adopt
And that's when we open the book
We gazed upon the diamonds above
And that defined perfection
You caressed and owned my body
As if it's your last
We got lost in this cruel world
And felt the winds rushed our bodies
As we climbed the mountain
Peak of our altitudinous love
But Granma used to preach,
"Nothing lasts forever."
It's the belief of their springtime
How love became cold like December
Then the colours in the pages start to fade
The lock we have in our hearts begins to rust
And you saw stars in someone's eyes
Stars we used to plan to reach
I cried like a little girl in sad movies
I remember how we cry for our parents
And how you promise me that
You won't make your father's mistake
And that's when life begins
Getting lost myself
And knowing how to love myself
The way I wanted you to love me
And I see you again here in downtown
I play my soundtrack, chin up
With my rose-colored glasses, all I can say
"Can't believe I loved you."
