There was always something waiting to happen,
Never say I wasn't honest,
I always did say I was a contempt man,
But hey, we kept pretending,
At least for a while.
Si el Corazon lo tienes grande
Lo tenias muy adentro.
You say my life lacked control,
I always liked flowing with the wind,
Pretty sure I looked for my way,
Always searched at the bottom of bottles,
At least the vodka still loves me.
Al rey nunca le dan mate,
Pero a la reina si se la dejan caer.
Now that I don't have anything to hide,
I'll come out and say it,
You aren't the most pretiest woman [yes I lied],
Yes, I am quite handsome,
At least thats what your Best friend told me.
Te voy a dejar picada,
Para que vengas por mas.
I won't lie and say you were worthless,
You were a little above that,
Yes those empty nights will leave me hurting,
But thats only because my loneliness kills me,
At least I'll find someone, but I don't know about you.
Cuando se te pase ahi me hablas,
Aver si no te dan ganas desgraciada.

Well I tried a different style... I understand that a lot of people wont understand the spanish in there. So I will just say that the spanish written is double meaning. In a way it could be interpreted nice and in another way it could be interpreted bad. But If anyone really needs me to translate I will...

Awesome! This piece is really good! I just wish I understood the spanish better, I only get some of it, not even close to get both the good and the bad meaning. The piece catches my attention from the start, and I can read it over and over. Great lines, my favorite parts: "You aren't the most pretiest woman [yes I lied], Yes, I am quite handsome, At least thats what your Best friend told me." and "Yes those empty nights will leave me hurting, But thats only because my loneliness kills me, At least I'll find someone, but I don't know about you." it's so harsh, and yet brilliant in a piece like this. You've captured the feelings that can get my imagination started. I don't know what else to say, maybe that you should help me with the spanish... so I can talk both "good" and "bad"...

I really liked the double meaning in spanish. This was really what I was looking for with the prompt.
Not that stupid sappy mutual affection break up. That 'bitch I was cheating on your ass' break up...
Sad right?
