dejé lo peor
quizás no bastó
y como perdonar
si no entiendo lo que haz hecho
y como traicionar si no entiendo
no te entiendo
volví a caer
por ti lo haría otra vez
y como perdonar
si no entiendo lo que haz hecho
y como traicionar si no entiendo
no te entiendo
y como perdonar
si no entiendo lo que haz hecho
y como traicionar si no entiendo
no te entiendo
relajame x4
para mí
y como perdonar
si no entiendo lo que haz hecho
y como traicionar si no entiendo
no te entiendo x2
