Manos De Tijera Lyrics in English Camilo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Manos De Tijera by Camilo from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
I told the sky that you left and it started to cry
I'm sure it remembered the day that I met you
You with your hair down and me with that urge to make you laugh
Looking for a thousand ways to not be again that which I always was
And I don't wanna be anymore
It hurts every time that I remember your kisses
It hurts because time goes one way and goes with no road back
The day that you deleted the heart from my contact
That day you erased my heart
And if I could do something different
I'd have done everything different
You and I had a purpose
None of this was on purpose
Chorus 1
It's no secret
Forgive me for not telling you that I'm not perfect
And now that you're alone tell me if you miss me just a little
I wanna know if it hurts you the same as me
As me
Chorus 1
It's no secret
Forgive me for not showing you all my flaws
Now that you're alone tell me if you miss me just a little
I wanna know if it hurts you the same as me
Because I can't breathe
Without you
Verse 2
I know that years will pass
And that any moment you'll post a photo in the arms of a stranger
That'll really hurt me
When it's someone else who sings you happy birthday
But I don't blame you
I know that you're gonna rebuild your life
Verse 2
The only thing that I want you to know
Is that I can't rebuild mine
Tell me if you remember the first trip that we took
And if you remember it, tell me if in your mind you still feel the same
And if not, it means that we got lost
But I know that inside you the feeling's still alive
That united us on the first day
I know that inside your heart still moves
Come on, tell me that it's not so
Come on, tell me that it's not so
Chorus 2
It's no secret
Forgive me for not telling you that I'm not perfect
And now that you're alone tell me if you miss me just a little
I wanna know if it hurts you the same as me
As me
Chorus 2
It's no secret
Forgive me for not showing you all my flaws
Now that you're alone tell me if you miss me just a little
I wanna know if it hurts you the same as me
Because I can't breathe
Without you

SONG MEANING

“Manos de Tijera” turns heartbreak into vivid poetry. Camilo imagines the sky itself bursting into tears the moment his lover leaves, setting a dramatic scene for a confession filled with regret and longing. He remembers their first meeting—her hair down, his mission to make her laugh—and admits he tried to break old habits but fell short. Now he wonders if she still aches the way he does, because he can’t even breathe without her.

The title, which literally means “Scissor Hands,” hints at how abruptly love can be cut off. Camilo relives shared trips, deleted emojis, future birthdays sung by strangers, and the fear of seeing her in someone else’s arms. Through catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, he shows the bittersweet truth of love: you can’t control time’s one-way road, but you can own your feelings and say, “I’m not perfect, I’m sorry, and I still believe in what we had.”
