La herida de un adios
Carolina Lao Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No quiero más decirme que llegó el olvido
Si sigues tan clavado en mi piel
¿Cómo escapar a la verdad de lo vivido
Si fuiste la razón de mi ser?

Y a pesar del rencor
Aún extraño tus besos
Los besos que un día perdí

Y a pesar del dolor
Aún me quema el recuerdo de tí
No puedo, no quiero decir adiós

No encuentro una razón
Y voy cayendo en un abismo
Ya nada es lo mismo sin tu amor
Yo sé que fue un error
Y nada va a llenar el vacío
De un amor que era mío y se marchó

¿Dónde estará la noche que selló el destino?
Es algo que no puedo entender
¿Cómo olvidar
Los besos que sólo eran míos?
Los besos que quebraron mi ser?

Y no puedo borrar los recuerdos del tiempo
Momentos que no volverán
Y no puedo evitar

El infierno de amar tu calor
No puedo, no quiero, decir adiós
