Del desasosiego
Un día se vino a instalar
Entre el mundo y mis ojos
Yo estaba empeñado en no ver
Lo que vi, pero a veces, ah
La vida es más compleja de
Lo que parece
Pensaste que me iba a quebrar
Y subiste tu apuesta
Me hiciste sentir el sabor
De mi propia cocina
Volví a creer que se tiene
Lo que se merece, ah
La vida es más compleja de
Lo que parece
Todas las versiones
Encuentran sitio en mi mesa
Todas mis canciones
Por una sola certeza
No quiero que lleves de mí
Nada que no te marque
El tiempo dirá si al final
Nos valió lo dolido
Perderme, por lo que yo vi
Te rejuvenece, ah
La vida es más compleja de
Lo que parece
Mejor, o peor, cada cual
Seguirá su camino
Cuánto te quise, quizás
Seguirás sin saberlo
Lo que dolería por siempre
Ya se desvanece, eh
La vida es más compleja de
De lo que parece, oh
La vida es más compleja de
De lo que parece, ah
La vida es más compleja de
De lo que parece
