I keep the door half shut
So you can't hear me break
Your name is on my tongue
Like salt I can't escape
I fold my hurt in lace
And wear it through the day
Smile for the room, then fall
When you look away
Ay, ay, don't come close
You'll see the cracks in me
Ay, ay, one small touch
And I won't let it be
My chest is all red dust
My hands keep shaking loose
I tried to hold it in
But I still spill for you
Palmas en mi pecho
Palmas en mi pecho
You left me in the dark
And I still call your name
Palmas en mi pecho
Palmas en mi pecho
Every clap says your loss
Every beat feels the same
The mirror keeps your shade
In the corner of my eye
I wash and wash my face
Still there's rain I can't deny
The street outside goes on
With the dogs and passing wheels
But in my little room
It is only what I feel
Ay, ay, don't come close
You'll see the cracks in me
Ay, ay, one small touch
And I won't let it be
My chest is all red dust
My hands keep shaking loose
I tried to hold it in
But I still spill for you
Palmas en mi pecho
Palmas en mi pecho
You left me in the dark
And I still call your name
Palmas en mi pecho
Palmas en mi pecho
Every clap says your loss
Every beat feels the same
If you were here right now
Would you look me in the eyes?
Or turn your face away
Like a stranger in disguise
I learned to love the ache
I learned to let it sing
But this old broken heart
Still wants one softer thing
Palmas en mi pecho
Palmas en mi pecho
You left me in the dark
And I still call your name
Palmas en mi pecho
Palmas en mi pecho
Every clap says your loss
Every beat feels the same
