Ya te he dado mas de mil razones,
Para que me des todo tu amor,
Siento que no tiene emociones, yeah,
O tal vez te falta el corazon,

Por que te vas,
Me dejas atras,
Y solo puedo,

Gritar

Y no se de mi, que mas esperas, oh
Dime ya las cosas como son,
Quieres que te baje las estrellas, no, no,
Mejor te consigo un corazon,

Por que te vas,
Me dejas atras,

Solo quiero gritar,
Yo solo quiero gritar,
Solo quiero,

Hoy que te vas,
