Perfection

(Verse 1)
What does it mean to be perfect?
All that work is it worth it?
Im gonna beat myself down
All for others’ perceptions
All for hashtags and mentions
All for familial blessings
How do I end this?
(Verse 2)
What does it mean to be worthy?
Clean myself up and still dirty
I’m growing from the ground
I ignore when im hurting
But that shit keeps on growing
Only leaving me broken
And doors keep on closing
(Bridge)
I don’t wanna die
And leave nothing behind
I promise it this time
To let out what’s inside
And if it means goodbye
To some things in my life
I can’t always get it right
Cause perfection is a lie
I’m gonna keep on growing
And I’m gonna keep on glowing
And God’s gonna keep on showing
That I’m worthy, that I’m worthy
I feel a new me emerging

Hija De Frida

(Verse 1)
Mama me dijo pa’ que quiero pies
Si tengo alas para volar
Alas construidas de cartulina
Pegadas a mi con cinta
y es un esfuerzo para dos
Aun asi me creo
Mujer maravilla
Hasta caer otra vez
Y tu mi Diego
Con gran desempeño
Enseñame amar saludable
Sin inseguridad
(chorus)
Quiero volar
Para mi
Quiero ser yo feliz
Sin buscarlo en ti
(Verse 2)
No tengo suficiente amor
Solo una mente partida en dos
Y porque hija de Frida soy
dejo mi corazón abierto
Entre páginas hoy
Y no lloro, solo escribo
Sangre en la guitarra
Frases disfradas para ti
pero son para mi
Medicina
Creativa
Para aliviar mi alma y despues ir a
(chorus) 2x
Volar
Para mi
Quiero ser yo feliz
Sin buscarlo en ti

Infatuated

(Verse 1)
Keep me close to your chest right now
Smell of your kiss got me wondering how
I got here
But I don’t wanna go now
Keep your hands
Feeling me up and down
Figure my body out baby
I was two seconds away from giving you a taste
Thank god you ran away
Thank God you ran away
Cause I would’ve stayed
Would’ve made a mistake
(Chorus)
Now I’m infatuated
Fantasizing about you crazy
In my dreams we always meet
And do the things we can’t do in reality
(Verse 2)
We could’ve been the moon in the night sky
Hotel room sheets in the morning to hide
Our fears, our doubts, our lust from the sunlight
Now you’re always on my mind
Will there be a next time?
It’s you i wanna try
(Outro)
This ring on my finger got me feeling guilty
I’m out here playing games
I should’ve set up clear boundaries with you
In the first place

Sinner

(Verse 1)
I have this urge to text you
But don’t do it
Just wait
If it’s fate
Then it’s fate
Don’t like being too early
Or too late
Or stuck in my ways
In reality other people made me
I want to create
A life where I’m not afraid
To take risks
We’re temporary anyway
Make me feel nostalgic in a Gatsby way
Picture me riding away all your pain
(Chorus)
Oooo im a sinner its true
Oooo don’t look at me look at you
(verse 2)
I miss you but I shouldn’t
I’m older but still growing
Have too much on my plate but
Seconds can’t wait
I don’t like anxiety
But like feeling a feeling inside of me
And you give me that
Don’t tell me what to do
Leave my God to that
Gave me and my seed a hard time
I’m thankful for that
Showed me my roots are flawed
And all I can be is proud of that
There’s no need to hide
I serve the world by showing all of that
(Chorus)

Desperately
03:02
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Lately I’ve been irritated, agitated
Probably not fun to be around with
I been quiet I been moody
And no it’s not my period
I just want my space and my notebook
And period
I just miss my home and my family
My routine isn’t steady and its messy
And im stressing cause sometimes
I don’t feel happy
And it’s my fault
My focus isn’t on my blessings
Rather on more selfish things
I lost a part of myself due to the pain
Of the baby and the ring
I need to find me
I need to find me
I need to find me
Desperately
(Chorus) 2x
Oh desperately
I need to find me
Oh desperately
I need to find me
(Verse 2)
Resistance just brings on more tension
So just let go
Stop judging yourself and thinking about others everywhere you go
You’re gold and you don’t know
You’re gold and you don’t know
If you wanted to you could light up the room
But you’re too scared to fail
Too scared to try
Too scared love
Too scared fly
Cause you don’t want to waste your time
You know there’s someone out there
Really doing shit right
While you sit in bitterness trying to ripen up
With meditative practices and tears and loneliness
There’s only so much love on a mattress can do
To make me fight for me
And make me fight for you
With time I’ll turn sweet and share a piece of me with you
But first I gotta find me to truly love you
I need to find me to truly love you
I need to find me to truly love you
(Chorus)

Half A Decade
03:36

|
(Verse 1)
You’re everything I looked for
You’ve held my hand
When I could not stand by myself
I know I’m a piece of work
But you’ve really helped me see my worth
You’re everything I prayed for and more
We had some issues year one through four
(Pre-Chorus)
But we made it babe, we made it babe
Half a decade and we made it babe, we made it babe (2x)
(Chorus)
Stay with me for as long as God allows
Hold me tight through the ups and the downs
Travel with me let’s watch sunsets
Form Mexico City all the way to Paris, France
Quédate junto a mi
Ama junto a mi
Vive junto a mi
Ríe junto a mi
Por favor
(Verse)
Me gustaría prepararte café por la mañana
Verte crecer como persona humana
Compartir tiempo y espacio contigo
Hoy y para siempre
Seras mi mejor amigo
No se lo que Dios tiene planeado
Pero sigo escribiendo a diario
Para mi y para ti
Pa tener una casita, un niño y un gardín
Dime soñadora
A mi no me importa
Dime soñadora
A mi no me importa
Yo creo en ti
Y lo más importante
Me enseñaste a creer en mi
(Chorus)

(Verse 1)
I asked you what the difference was
Between me and all the other girls you been with
You said it’s too deep
And I don’t wanna dig
But baby can you dig for me one day
Don’t be scared of vulnerability
That’s the only thing that keeps us safe
(Pre-Chorus)
Ve como el sol nos tatúa la piel en la manana
Ve como creamos un hogar en una semana
Ve el reloj de vez en cuando
Los números nos hablan
44
El amor y la belleza están por todos lados
Ve y puedes encontrarlo
(Chorus)
Solo ve, ve ,ve ,ve ,ve ,ve
(verse)
Si quieres yo te puedo ensenar
Como llorar sin que te de pena
De lo que diran
Y a reirte de mas
Y expresar todo lo que has guardado adentro
Tus suenos, ideas, y pensamientos
Todo es posible, juntos lo hemos hecho
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
