Julion Alvarez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Todo se termina como comenzó
Solo cambiamos hola por adiós
Y yo cargando todas tus maletas

No me dejes nada por favor
Llévate todo hasta mi corazón
De qué me sirve ahora que me dejas

Y el beso amor y la traición
Me duelen más que tu silencio
Qué voy a hacer con mi sufrimiento

Dime
Si vas a volver algún día
Si espero o te doy por perdida
Si mato de un golpe a este amor
Dime
Si dejo una luz encendida
En algún rincón de mi vida
O dejo apagar la ilusión

Dime por favor
Si mato de un golpe a este amor

Y el beso amor y la traición
Me duelen más que tu silencio
Qué voy a hacer con mi sufrimiento

Dime
Si vas a volver algún día
Si espero o te doy por perdida
Si mato de un golpe a este amor
Dime
Si dejo una luz encendida
En algún rincón de mi vida
O dejo apagar la ilusión

Dime por favor
Si mato de un golpe a este amor

Dime
Si vas a volver algún día
Si espero o te doy por perdida
Si mato de un golpe este amor
Dime
Si dejo una luz encendida
En algún rincón de mi vida
O dejo apagar la ilusión

Dime por favor
Si mato de un golpe a este amor

Dime por favor
Si mato de un golpe a este amor
