I loved Policarpa so much
Her life was short, mine is long
The way she came to me, something took her away, and I think it was me
I think about Policarpa so much
So sullen in her gaze
The dark wave that swept me away, she saw it too, I know she saw it too

I didn’t know I was happy until I saw her die
Until I saw her die, until I—
I didn’t know I was happy until I saw myself die, until I—
(Oh-oh-oh, mmmh)
(Oh-oh-oh, mmmh)
It’s like one day you wake up
And you don’t know that morning
Was your last sunrise, your last TV session

I looked to the sky and asked for nothing
If I were leaving, may it take me away
My face painted black
I looked to the sky and asked for nothing
If I were leaving, may it take me away
Completely surrendered and all covered
I looked to the sky and asked for nothing
If I were leaving, may it take me away

Smile with closed eyes
Tears all bled out
And a love that wasn’t in vain
Smile with closed eyes
Tears all bled out
And a love that wasn’t in vain

I loved Policarpa so much
I loved Poli so much
I loved Policarpa so much
I loved Poli so much
I loved Poli so much
