Desahogo
Dalila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
por que me doy tanto a ti,
y por que no pido nunca
nada a cambio para mi.
Por que me quedo callada,
cuando me sabes herir
con todos eso reproches
que no merezco de ti.
mientras tu finges dormir,
pero si quieres yo quiero
y no consigo fingir.
Te has convertido en la punta
que clava mis sentimientos,
te has convertido en la sombra
mas triste de mis lamentos.
Pero resulta que yo
sin ti nose lo que hacer,
a veces me desahogo,
me desespero porque,
tu eres el grave problema
que yo nose resolver
y acabo siempre en tus brazos
cuando me quieres tener.
