Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tentei fugir mas meu coração
Me fez parar pra pensar
Refleti, sem saber pra onde ir
Resolvi voltar
Não sei por que, mas eu lhe perdi
E só você pode me amparar
Meus erros, meu pranto e meu violão
Mesmo sem perdão
E não precisa me perdoar
Basta me compreender e me deixar ficar
Amor voltei pra pedir perdão
Tentei fugir mas meu coração
Me fez parar pra pensar
Refleti, sem saber pra onde ir
Resolvi voltar
Não sei por que, mas eu lhe perdi
E só você pode me amparar
Meus erros, meu pranto e meu violão
Vêm pedir pra me deixar ficar
Mesmo sem perdão
E não precisa me perdoar
Basta me compreender e me deixar ficar
