I think about the past since that you're not here
I think about the present in case that you come back
I want time to go back, I want to start again
So many times we f*cked it up, so many times we fixed it
Today it happened again, but this time I don't know, we drifted apart
Either you call me, or I call you, this isn't over
Nobody's gonna win in this game
Because that's how you and I are
We live with wounds on the skin
But they still don't finish hurting
We have plenty of reasons to see each other again
Because that's how you and I are
But in the end we do it without meaning to
Maybe we don't know how to love each other
Setting ourselves on fire when we're made of paper
It's not starting from zero when I put the zero to the right
And my hunch is that the more you love me the more you throw me out
Yeah you make me leave, but you make me come
And we don't need alcohol for your mouth to turn me on
Piece by piece I undressed, and I closed the door
So nobody hears, I hit play on a reggaetón
Only the sheets know the kisses that you give me
You left, but now I want more
Babe let's make peace if you feel like it
Come do to me all that stuff that you do
I miss you like always
Let's get back like always
Because that's how you and I are
We live with wounds on the skin
But they still don't finish hurting
We have plenty of reasons to see each other again
Because that's how you and I are
But in the end we do it without meaning to
Maybe we don't know how to love each other
Setting ourselves on fire when we're made of paper
Of, of paper
Of, of paper
Of, of paper
Of, of paper
Of, of paper
Of, of paper
Of, of paper
Of, of paper
Of, of paper
After all, love is madness
And falling in love seems like it requires going against the world

SONG MEANING

Imagine a love so intense it feels combustible, yet delicate as a sheet of paper. That is the push-and-pull world TINI sketches in De Papel. The Argentine star looks at a relationship stuck in an endless loop: yesterday’s mistakes, today’s apologies, and tomorrow’s inevitable reunion. She admits that both lovers carry “wounds on the skin,” but the pain never quite sinks in; instead, it sparks another round of passion. The chorus compares them to paper set on fire, highlighting how easily they can burn each other while still craving the heat.

Beyond the catchy reggaetón beat, the lyrics explore the irony of modern romance. They threaten to walk away, yet a single phone call or a favorite song can slam the door, light the candles, and start everything over. TINI suggests that love is a beautiful madness—fragile, risky, and irrepressible. De Papel invites listeners to dance through the chaos, recognizing that sometimes the heart prefers the flames to the safety of staying unlit.
