Poem To A Horse Lyrics - Live & Off The Record - Shakira

You're too far to bring you close 

And too high to see below 

Just hanging on your daily dose 

I know you never needed anyone 

But the rolling papers for your grass 

How can you give what you don't have? 

You keep on aiming for the top 

And quit before you sweat a drop 

Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot 

Start out playing with yourself 

You get more fun within your shell 

Nice to meet you, but I gotta go my way

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain 

But you're so in love with yourself 

If I say "my heart is sore" 

Sounds like a cheap metaphor 

So I won't repeat it no more 

I'd rather eat my soup with a fork 

Or drive a cab in New York 

'Cause to talk to you is harder work 

So what's the point of wasting all my words? 

If it's just the same or even worse 

Than reading poems to a horse 

You keep on aiming for the top 

And quit before you sweat a drop 

Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot 

I bet you'll find someone like you 

'Cause there's a foot for every shoe 

And I wish you luck, but I've other things to do 

Photos 

I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain 

But you're so in love with yourself 

If I say "my heart is sore" 

Sounds like a cheap metaphor 

So I won't repeat it no more 

I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain 

If I say "my heart is sore" 

Sounds like a cheap metaphor 

I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain 

But you're so in love with yourself 

If I say "my heart is sore" 

Sounds like a cheap metaphor 

So I won't repeat it no more
