Sólo Faltas Tú
Ilan Chester Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lo siento si alguna vez te he herido
Y no supe darme cuenta a tiempo
Mientras soportabas en silencio
Tal vez algún desprecio
Tal vez no sirva de nada
El darme cuenta ahora
Solo importas tu

Siento que en mi vida solo importas tu
Entre tanta gente, solo importas tu
Hasta el punto que a mi mismo
Se me olvida que también existo
Solo importas tu
Da igual si tengo todo o nada
Solo importas tu
Lo siento si en tu lugar he puesto a otra
Era solo parte de este juego
Y mientras yo jugaba tu ibas en serio
Fui tonto y no lo niego
Mis aires de importante
Y me doy cuenta ahora
Solo importas tu

Solo importas tu entre tanta gente
Solo importas tu
Hasta el punto que a mi mismo
Se me olvida que también existo
Solo importas tu
Da igual si tengo todo o nada
Solo importas tu

Solo importas tu
Solo importas tu
