'Round Midnight
Duran y Garcia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Has destrozado todo el gran cariño que yo te daba
y como un tonto yo a tu lado enamorado
se que juraste no engañarme o traicionarme
hoy es mentira y resultaste desepcionarme
Y tu que solo pensabas
en todos mis errores
y nunca aceptabas
mis axplicaciones

Y tu que solo inventabas
buscar mas que una excusa

para que terminara este verdad oculta
que en el alma guardabas sin decirme nada.
