Como Duele
EL TECLA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se que ya te fuiste de mi lado
Quise arrancarte de mi piel
Pero me di cuenta que aun te amo
Anoche mas que nunca te extrañe

Y llore y sufrí, Y llore y sufrí
Pensando en ti
Y llore y sufrí, Y llore y sufrí

Porque me acorde de ti
Ay como me duele, ay como me duele
Ay como me duele el corazon porque aun te amo

Buscando entre mis fotos vi un retrato
La carta que escribiste para mi
Ya no pude contener mi llanto
Acostado en mi cama pensé en ti.

Y llore y sufrí, Y llore y sufrí
Pensando en ti
Y llore y sufrí, Y llore y sufrí
Porque me acorde de ti
Ay como me duele, ay como me duele
Ay como me duele el corazon porque aun te amo

Ya no encuentro la calma y no dejo de llorar
Como le explico a mi alma que te tiene que olvidar

Ay como me duele, ay como me duele
Ay como me duele el corazon porque aun te amo
