Pasando Sin Mí

Verse 1

Quince años y el espejo me mira raro

Mamá with another man in the driveway

Papá letra fría desde la otra casa

Grandma's the only one who says my name right

She folds my uniform and hums old corridos

Stories of women who were braver than me

I trace the creases and I feel so tiny

Hiding all the things they never see

Pre-Chorus

Y si no soy fuerte

Who's gonna save me

If not even my own blood stays

Chorus

Passing me by

Todo pasa sin mí

I'm still the same girl

En la misma esquina

Passing me by

Years turning to dust in my hands

And I'm just waiting

Para que alguien me quiera

Verse 2

Los boys in the hallway they never see me

Just watch me walk and whisper to their friends

I wish I was thin I wish I was flawless

I'd give up my dinner just to fit in

The blade sings soft when everybody's sleeping

A rhythm only I know how to play

Grandma prays for me in the kitchen

I pray for someone to love me someday

Pre-Chorus

Y si no soy linda

Who's gonna want me

If I can't even stand my own face

Chorus

Passing me by

Todo pasa sin mí

I'm still the same girl

En la misma esquina

Passing me by

Years turning to dust in my hands

And I'm just waiting

Para que alguien me quiera

Bridge

Abuela says the blood runs through us

Strong like the river strong like the rain

But I got cuts that won't stop bleeding

And love that always brings me pain

I wish I was younger

When the world was softer

Before I learned what lonely means

Before I learned to beg for pretty

Chorus

Passing me by

Todo pasa sin mí

I'm still the same girl

En la misma esquina

Passing me by

Years turning to dust in my hands

And I'm just waiting

Para que alguien me quiera

Outro

Verse 3

Cumpleaños silent no candles to wish on

Grandma bought a cake with my name in pink

I blew the flames and I made one promise

Before the smoke could even reach the sink

Mamá calls late says she's sorry she missed it

Papá sends money that I never spend

I keep it folded underneath my mattress

In case the day comes when I need to run again

Pre-Chorus

Y si no soy valiente

Who's gonna hear me

If I keep swallowing my own voice

Chorus

Passing me by

Todo pasa sin mí

I'm still the same girl

En la misma esquina

Passing me by

Years turning to dust in my hands

And I'm just waiting

Para que alguien me quiera

Post-Chorus

(Ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

Esperando

Esperando

Verse 4

Yesterday I caught my reflection staring

Saw a girl who's been fighting in the dark

Not the pretty one the boys keep chasing

But she's got a fire in her heart

I found my grandmother's old rosary

And her wedding dress from ninety-three

She said wear it if the world gets heavy

It carried her so it can carry me

Pre-Chorus

Y si no soy fuerte

Abuela's blood in me

Maybe that's enough to start

Chorus

Passing me by

Todo pasa sin mí

I'm still the same girl

En la misma esquina

Passing me by

Years turning to dust in my hands

And I'm just waiting

Para que alguien me quiera

Post-Chorus

(Ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

Esperando

Esperando

Bridge

I won't be the shadow by the lockers

I won't be the silence in the hall

I'll be the storm they never saw coming

I'll be the one who learns to stand tall

Abuela says the blood runs through us

Strong like the river strong like the rain

And I've got scars that tell my story

But love ain't the only thing to claim

Breakdown

Ya no más

Ya no más

No más lágrimas

No más

(I'm done)

Ya no más

Ya no más

I'm done waiting

Done waiting for love

Verse 5

Tonight I'm walking through that kitchen doorway

Grandma's humming while she sips her tea

I take her hand and I say thank you

For every night you prayed for me

Mamá will always be who she is

Papá won't change that's just his way

But I'm the one who writes my future

I'm done waiting for love to come my way

Final Chorus

No more passing by

Ya no pasa sin mí

I'm not the same girl

En la misma esquina

No more passing by

I'm gonna build my life with these hands

And I'll keep dancing

Hasta que yo me quiera

Outro

Hasta que yo me quiera

(Me quiera)

Hasta que yo me quiera

(Oh)

Me quiero

Me quiero

Me quiero

Final

Mm

Me quiero
