Que hora es aya, Perdoname
Solo escuchame why nunca mas llamare
Hola como estas, yo no e podido ni respirar
Hola donde estas, que sin tu amor, no puedo mas
Ven aqui, vuelve aqui, Esto no es final si tu no estas
Ven a mi why quiere me, porque no ves que me hundo en la soledad.

Si sigues ahi, contesta me

No puedes hablar, lo entiendo bien, ya se
Dime como estas, yo no e podido ni respirar
Dime donde estas, esta distancia me quema no puedo mas, ven aqui, vuelve aqui, esto no es final si tu no estas, ven a mi , abrazame, porque no ves que me hundo en la soledad

ven a mi why vuelve aqui, esto no es final si tu no estas, ven a mi why quiere me, porque no ves que me hundo en la soledad

que hora es alla, perdoname.
