Delux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y tuve que fingir para poder sobresalir
Cuá¡ntas veces he tenido que cambiar
Mi forma de pensar para poder llegar aquá
No quiero, no puedo, no quiero estar asá no, no
No quiero seguir actuando asá cuando no esta en má
Para poder socializar
Ya estoy enfadado me dejo influenciar es hora de cambiar
Y de enfrentar a el mundo asá
No quiero, no puedo, no quiero estar asá no, no
No quiero seguir actuando asá cuando no esta en má
Y te sientes superior a los demá¡s
Mientras tanto luchas por tu identidad
Ya estoy harto y enfadado de aguantar
Deja de cambiar
No quiero, no puedo, no quiero estar asá no, no
No quiero seguir actuando asá cuando no esta en má
No quiero, no puedo, no quiero estar asá no, no
No quiero seguir actuando asá cuando no esta en má
