Ruben Es Mi Papi, Mi Amor

It hurts to hold back what I wanna say
It brings warm fresh tears to my eyes today

I can't shake my feelings cause they're real its seems
I wanna wake up, but I cant...this isn't a dream

I finally know what it is to fall in love, its all so new
I didn't just fall in love, I fell in love with you

I never knew love could bring joy and so much pain
I feel as if I'm in the midst of a cold and bitter rain

We are always together and hardly ever apart
your leaving is going to be murderous to my heart

I never knew love could hurt so much, my tears they sting
When I wipe them away, around each eye is a red ring

My eyes are bloodshot and swollen from the tears I've cried
because I cant seem to tell you I need you by my side

When we say goodbye I will crumble and fall
my heart will shatter to pieces so frail and small

You have my heart I gave you my key
you need to undo the lock so the chains fall free

So you can see how i feel about me and you
those feelings on my heart like a permanent tattoo

I want you to see, feel, and know exactly how I felt
the first time you kissed me and made my heart melt

Your touch and your kisses like electricity that takes my breath away
I feel selfish to say it, but I need you to please, please stay

When we are together I lose track of time and space
I sometimes forget we are even in this place

I know you can see I love you its in my eyes
when you look you see only truth no lies

My love for you has a bright glow and shine
and its been that way since I called you mine

You managed to knock me off my feet
you're a good man, so wonderful and sweet

We have a magnificent bond we share
we built it strong with love and care

Our feelings so strong, our connection so deep
but neither of us ready to take that leap

A leap that means sharing how we truly feel
but our feelings we keep continuing to conceal

Before we open up, we'd rather risk losing it all
This will be the beginning and end of our downfall

Falling in love, for me this is a first
I know this broken heart will be the worst
