Si pudiera caminar sin ti
David Bustamante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
borraría las raíces, borraría todo el tiempo
en que solo éramos tu y yo ...
Si pudiera caminar sin ti,estaria en otra vida,
en un camino dónde no busque a tu corazón...
Quisiera...regresar a ti
ya no sé como inventar que sigues aqui...
ya no puedo caminar en el espacio
de lo que viví, solo junto a ti., en la sombra que dejaste aqui..
Si pudiera caminar sin ti, si pudiera respirar...
no extrañar a lo que aún vivo
dime como salgo de ésta soledad,
Si pudiera caminar sin ti, si pudiera respirar
si pudiera acostumbrarme a vivir sin ti
Quisiera...regresar a ti
ya no sé como inventar que sigues aqui...
Siempre estas en mi mente, veo tu mirada entre la gente...
ya no puedo caminar en el espacio
de lo que viví, solo junto a ti... en la sombra que dejaste aqui..
A otros labios no me acostumbraré,
a tu lado yo volviera y que, yo no tengo nada que perder
Siempre estas en mi mente, veo tu mirada entre la gente...
Si pudiera caminar sin ti...en la sombra q dejaste aqui..
Siempre estas en mi mente y en la sombra que dejaste aqui.
