I told the sky you left and it started to cry
Surely it remembered the day I met you
You with your hair down
And I with that desire to make you laugh
Looking for a thousand ways to not be again
That I always was
And I don't want to be anymore
It hurts, every time I remember your kisses
It hurts, because time goes one way
And it goes with no way back
The day you erased my heart from my contact
That day you erased my heart
And if I could do something different
I would have done everything differently
You and I had a purpose
None of this was on purpose
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 want to know if it hurts you the same as it hurts me
That it hurts me
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 want to know if it hurts you Same as me
Because I can't breathe without you
And I know the years will pass
And that at any moment you'll upload a photo
In the arms of a stranger
That's going to hurt me
When someone else sings your happy birthday
But I don't blame you
I know you're going to rebuild your life
The only thing I want you to know
Is that I can't rebuild mine
Tell me, if you remember the first trip we took
And if you remember
Tell me if in your mind you still feel the same
And if not, it means we lost each other
But I know that inside you
The feeling is still alive
That the first day united us
I know that inside your heart moves
Let's see, tell me no
Let's see, tell me no
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 want to know if it hurts you the same way it hurts me
That it hurts me
It doesn't hurt me 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 want to know if you hurt the same way I do
Because I can't breathe without you

SONG MEANING

Manos De Tijera invites us into the raw aftermath of a breakup where every memory feels freshly cut, just like the title’s “scissor hands” suggest. Yiyo Sarante sings from the viewpoint of someone who told the sky his lover left, only to have the heavens “cry” with him. Through nostalgic snapshots – her loose hair, his jokes, their first trip – he admits his own flaws and wonders if she aches too. The repeated plea “No es secreto” works like a confessional refrain: he knows he is imperfect, yet he cannot stop hoping that the love they sparked still beats inside her.

The song balances regret and wishful thinking. He pictures the future pain of seeing her celebrate birthdays with someone new, while insisting he can’t “breathe” without her. Deleting the heart emoji next to his name felt like deleting his real heart, but he still clings to the idea that their shared purpose was no accident. “Manos De Tijera” is therefore a bittersweet salsa about cutting ties, owning mistakes, and the stubborn belief that true love might survive the deepest wounds.
