Por Que
Beto Terrazas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porqué no supe valorar todo tu amor
Porqué te hize tanto daño
Porqué de nuevo cometí el error
Porque no estuve en el momento
en tus tristezas y en tus noches de dolor
Porque no fui yo tu consuelo
Porqué hasta ahora me di cuenta que te quiero
porque el reloj va tan deprisa y voy muriendo
porque no dije lo que siento, porque te vas sin darme un beso
Porque hasta ahora me di cuenta que te amo
por cobardía, por soberbia, o porque diablos
porque no pude detenerte, porque hasta hoy cambio mi suerte
Porqué hasta ahora me di cuenta que te quiero
porque el reloj va tan deprisa y voy muriendo
porque no dije lo que siento, porque te vas sin darme un beso
Porque hasta ahora me di cuenta que te amo
por cobardía, por soberbia, o porque diablos
porque no pude detenerte, porque hasta hoy cambio mi suerte
