What About Us
Miriam Rodríguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are rockets, pointing up at the stars
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters
What about us?
What about love?
What about trust?
What about us?
Sticks and stones
They may break these bones but then
I'll be ready,
Are you ready?
It's the start of us
We cannot come on
Are you ready?
I'll be ready
I don't want control
I want to let go
Are you ready?
I'll be ready
'Cause now is time to
Let them know
Are you ready?
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
So what about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disasters?
What about love?
What about trust?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?

Demasiado infravalorada.. de verdad Miriam, perdón por tan poco, tienes todos mis respetos. Te mereces lo mejor♥️
Andrea Martínez Guerra
Miriam es la que más mérito tiene. Ha llegado a ser la segunda (por votos del jurado) por su trabajo exclusivamente (no quiero desmerecer el trabajo de otros compañeros, pero es innegable que otros por su personalidad o apariencia se ganaron una gracia que Miriam nunca tuvo). Ha estado siempre en un segundo plano a lo largo del programa y mirad dónde ha llegado, dándole siempre canciones en las que malamente se podía lucir. Además, es una artista completa, cómo canta y cómo se mueve. Miriam, sencillamente, BESTIAL
