Todavía
Jannette Chao Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te amé, y sin afán de volver a caer, lo admito
porque sé que no eres mío.
Ya sé que no debiera cantarte otra vez y grito,
porque no soy de piedra y aunque por dentro quiera...
Es tal el silencio de esta habitación que escucho hasta el ruido del aire y el corazón se da cuenta de esta soledad.
Qué importa ya este cielo estrellado si no estás a mi lado, si ya me has olvidado?
Jurarme que eres parte del pasado no me está funcionando, si hoy que me has hablado a vuelto a comenzar lo que creía acabado.
Te amé, y sin afán de volver a caer, lo admito
porque sé que no eres mío.
Ya sé que no debiera cantarte otra vez y grito,
porque no soy de piedra y aunque por dentro quiera dejarte en el pasado,
aunque esté tan trillado, todavía te amo.
El suelo se hunde a mis pies mientras yo
intento borrar tu recuerdo.
Pero luchar contra todo, contra ti y contra mí y todo lo que fuimos
es entender que mientras más lo intento me llueve más por dentro,
es más lo que me acuerdo.
Pensarte es morir a paso lento cuando voy descubriendo que ya te encuentras lejos mientras yo te traigo en el pensamiento.
