Picture Perfect
Love's Complex Palette
Lyrics
Two people picture perfect depending on how you paint it
Dependence on perspective in portraying a seemingly perfect relationship
It's crazy how much I love you and how much I can hate it
Expressing conflicting emotions—intense love juxtaposed with strong dislike
You left a mark on my heart, and I can't seem to erase it
A lasting emotional impact left by the person, unable to be removed
The only one who can break it, and knows how to replace it
The individual capable of breaking and replacing the emotional mark
Fuimos niños enamorados es que cupido nos flecho
Reference to being childhood sweethearts struck by Cupid's arrow
Y si queríamos amor pero el wey se aprovechó
Expressing betrayal in a romantic relationship where one took advantage
Mi corazón no estaba preparado para el dolor
Unpreparedness for the emotional pain caused
Mi mundo era de rosa, y tu cambiaste su color
The upheaval of a once idyllic life due to the partner's actions
I've had enough of this, I swear I'm done with this
Expressing frustration and determination to move on from the situation
It doesn't take a genius to know that you're up to shit
An awareness of deceitful behavior without needing extraordinary insight
I thought you wanted more, I thought you wanted me
Misinterpretation of the partner's intentions and desires
Guess I was wrong and this is how this shit should be
Acceptance of the reality of the situation, contrary to initial beliefs
Guess I gotta blame myself for trusting stupidly
Self-blame for trusting naively despite experience
After all these years, I never thought you would do this to me
Disbelief at the betrayal after a long period of trust
Tanto tiempo buscando alguien que no te criticara
Seeking someone who wouldn't criticize, desiring genuine affection
Que te acaricie tu piel, y que no sea interesada
Describing a longing for affection devoid of ulterior motives
Tantas ciudades al que fuiste y nunca te enamoraste
Not finding love despite traveling to various places
Ya sabias que estaba en casa pero creo que me olvidaste
Feeling forgotten despite being at home and available
You forgot about me babe
Emphasis on being neglected and abandoned
You say you're leaving, while I'm screaming through the door
Expressing frustration at the ease of the partner's decision to leave
If it's easy just to leave me, what the fuck you waiting for
Angrily questioning the delay in departing if it's a simple decision
You called my phone at 2am, I didn't wanna answer it
Reluctance to respond to late-night communication attempts
Then I read your message, baby please you're so full of shit
Rejecting affectionate messages due to skepticism and distrust
Me mandas tantos mensajes diciendo cosas de amor
Receiving love-related messages, causing emotional conflict
Por favor, yo aprendí tan bien y ese era tu temor
Learning to detach and not be affected by emotional manipulation
Aprendí a dejarte libre, a no llorar , ya no te extraño
Adaptation to separation and a resolution to move forward
Y si que eras mi vida, pero me has hecho tanto daño
Recognition of past significance despite the inflicted pain
And yet you're still here, talking about the unknown
Continued uncertainty and discussions about an unclear future
Asking me to come over, and asking if I'm alone
Asking to meet despite previous conflicts and doubts
I should have known
Realization of a lack of foresight or understanding earlier
Pero no te preocupes no te puedo olvidar nunca
Assurance of inability to forget despite the desire to do so
Me distes a mi bebes, pero no les falta cuna
Acknowledging the shared responsibility for children
Tiene tu misma cara, y es como si te viera todos los días
Seeing the partner's resemblance in the children daily
Pero tu no los puedes ver, ni siquiera en unas pinches fotografías
Expressing frustration that the partner cannot see the children
I gotta move on from you, for them
A resolution to move forward for the sake of the children
You should've tried babe
Regret expressed for the lack of effort from the partner
You should've tried
Highlighting the partner's failure to put in necessary effort
