Hey Maria
Hey María: Unveiling the Painful Flight of a Broken Butterfly
Lyrics
He is kinda mean
He behaves in a somewhat unkind manner.
You heard it not only from me
This information isn't solely coming from me; others have noticed it too.
You were a butterfly
You used to be free-spirited like a butterfly.
Spread your wings and you lost your flight

And you had your dreams
You had aspirations and hopes.
He took them while you'd sleep
He stole or destroyed your dreams while you were unaware (possibly while sleeping).
