Un Idiota
Eddy Herrera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que yo nunca te di
Que idiota fui
Sé que te marchaste sin saber
Sin escuchar, sin comprender
Que hay una daga envenenada aquí en mi pecho
El mal está hecho
Sé que no merezco tu perdón
Que lastimé tu corazón
Hoy me avergüenzo fui el motivo de tu llanto
Queriéndote tanto
Ay te amo, te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
Te amo, ay yo te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
Sé que otro amor encontrarás
Que te dé luz, que te dé paz
Que te dé todo lo que yo no supe darte
Quisiera abrazarte
Sé que no merezco tu perdón
Que lastimé tu corazón
Y hoy naufrago en este mar de tu abandono
Ni yo me perdono
Ay te amo, te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
Te amo, te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
Sé que otro amor encontrarás
Que te dé luz, que te dé paz
Que te dé todo lo que yo no supe darte
Quisiera abrazarte
Ay te amo, te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
Te amo, te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
Yo, yo te amo
Te amo, te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
Te amo, te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
Te amo, ay yo te amo
Soy un idiota te perdí, pero te amo
