“Jaguar Tears”
Intro (whispered)
Yeah…
You see it when I look down
I don’t gotta explain it
Verse 1
I let you back when my heart was cracked
You swore you’d guard it, you stabbed my back
You played the healer, wore angel skin
While I was bleeding, you let ‘em in
I trusted tears falling from your eyes
Didn’t know they were practicing lies
I was rebuilding, stone by stone
You were already halfway gone
Pre-Chorus
You gave me hope when I was weak
Then broke the one thing left in me
Now I don’t talk, I just let it bleed
Into ink and memory
Chorus (melodic, low)
Now the jaguar guards my pain
Goddess crying in the rain
Skull reminds me love can die
Heart in pieces, truth don’t lie
You gave me life, you took it slow
Now my arm tells what you won’t
I don’t explain, I just let it scar
Heartbreak carved in my forearm
Verse 2
Cracked heart hanging, dagger through
That’s what trusting you will do
You promised peace, you promised change
Left me praying inside the flames
I wore your love like it was law
Defended you through every flaw
Now death imagery on my skin
‘Cause something pure didn’t make it in
Pre-Chorus
Closed eyes, tears carved in stone
She crying ‘cause she knew all along
Some love meant to be a test
Some lessons hurt the deepest
Chorus (melodic)
Now the jaguar guards my pain
Goddess crying in the rain
Skull reminds me love can die
Heart in pieces, truth don’t lie
You gave me life, you took it slow
Now my arm tells what you won’t
I don’t explain, I just let it scar
Heartbreak carved in my forearm
Bridge (half-rap, stripped beat)
Tattoo ain’t revenge, it’s proof
I survived something brutal and true
Jaguar spirit, warrior code
I kept it real, you broke the oath
Death below, tears above
That’s the cost of trusting love
Now when I hurt, I don’t reach out
I just let the ink speak loud
Chorus (last — emotional)
Yeah the jaguar guards my pain
She still cries when I say your name
Skull grins ‘cause it already knew
How this story would end with you
You gave me hope, then watched it fall
Now my arm remembers all
I don’t cry now, I just let it scar
Heartbreak carved in my forearm
Outro (spoken)
This ain’t about you anymore
It’s about never forgetting
Who I was…
And what it cost me
