Anteontem
CPM 22 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estava tão triste
Quando você me disse
Que havia algo errado entre nós
Meu mundo girava e o seu controlava
O que havia de errado no meu
Eu descia as escadas, as velhas escadas
Sem medo de olhar o que eu deixei pra trás
Eu continuo do mesmo lado
E não vou mudar minha opinião

Tênis furados e alguns trocados
Relógio quebrado e poluição
Eu sentia em minha volta a dor derrota
Quem foi que escolheu

Sobre os meus próprios passos
Vou caminhar




Sobre os meus próprios passos
Nunca mais vou errar
