They are memories, broken promises
They are memories and broken promises
You will say that they are only memories, dead moments
I do not deny it, they are like images that time hides
They won't have a life of their own but you gave them one

An opportunity to be part of your story
And the memories are part of your mind is something inert
Your memory after so many things is still strong
Remembering those intense moments of your life

Your first kiss, your first forbidden experience
Your first touch, your first dog, first friend
Your first girlfriend who later became an enemy
Witness your first experiences in life

You started to stumble and got up from falls
With the help of mom and dad who are there
From the first second and they have never doubted you
But the years go by and you forget things
Although there are things that are never forgotten like the smell of roses

The moments of the past fade little by little
Because there are bad memories that sometimes hit rock bottom
So deep that they make you think, reconsider
Eat your head in a sea that wants to drown you

Do you remember your first fight, your first punishment
Because I know there are promises that you have never kept
You remember your first failure, your first disappointment
Your beginnings, your first letter is still well kept

Do you remember the first time you made love
Then everything fell apart and you still remember the pain
The resentment you carry inside, the broken feelings
See that she was still with you but only in photos
That's when you remember the silly arguments
Screams for everything and nothing

You also remember the typical fights with your sister
From school friends who left without telling you anything
They go, the memories where they will go
I guess there will be a place where they will stay
And they will continue, they will continue to be there forever
Because there are things that are not forgotten even after death

Broken promises, promises that I tried to keep
I did my best to make you feel happy
But jealousy made me bitter and it always ended the same
Arguing, crying and feeling awful

And that's when your promises are useless anymore
After each puff you leave a life behind
A life that you wanted but she wanted to forget
In a drastic way and start over from scratch

I know it's difficult my heart has already stopped beating
For someone that I loved and that is still inside me
And I keep getting mad every day thinking about this
Thinking of a maybe that never existed

And I cry alone, I feel great anguish inside
I want another chance even though I know I don't deserve it
And I can't sleep, you stole my life
And I still think of you even though my bed is empty

The fault is mine for trusting who should not
Well, a colleague has failed me, guess who?
And it is that based on sticks I became suspicious
But I still believe in you even if you have forgotten me

In memories of your heart I am still
From afar you can see me in my fantasy crying
Like a child, like a newborn baby
Memories are just things from a lost past

In the present there is no more to live day by day
Keep going, smash it all in this melody
Just like the broken promises you tried to keep
But you failed like always even though you tried to correct

The intention was good, you put everything on your side
Although now you do not appreciate this
I know you'll appreciate it sooner or later
Promises that leave empty somewhere
And it's never the same again
