Verse 1

I told the sky that you left and it started to cry

Surely it remembered the day I met you

You with your hair down and me with that desire to make you laugh

Looking for a thousand ways not to be that person I’d always been

And I don't want to be anymore

It hurts every time I remember your kisses

It hurts because time goes one way and there's no way back

The day you removed the heart next to my contact

That day you erased my heart

And if I could do something different

I'd have done everything differently

You and I had a purpose

None of this was intentional

Chorus 1

It's not a 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 bit

I want to know if it hurts you like it hurts me

Like me

It's not a secret

Forgive me for not showing you all my flaws

Now that you're alone tell me if you miss me just a little bit

I want to know if it hurts you like it hurts me

Because I can't breathe

Without you

Verse 2

I know that years will pass

And that at any moment you’ll post a photo in a stranger’s arms

That's really going to hurt me

When it's someone else who sings you happy birthday

But I don't blame you

I know that you're going to rebuild your life

The only thing that I want you to know

It's that I can't rebuild mine

Tell me if you remember the first trip 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 is still alive

That united us on the first day

I know your heart still stirs inside you

Let's see, tell me no

Chorus 2

It's not a 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 bit

I want to know if it hurts you like it hurts me

Like me

It's not a secret

Forgive me for not showing you all my flaws

Now that you're alone tell me if you miss me just a little bit

I want to know if it hurts you like it hurts 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.”
