Siempre decie compartir contigo
Los sentimientis que negaba yo
Anhelaba un poco de tu comprension.
Quise acercarme mas a ti
Pero fui incapaz de mover un pie
Siempre me inpide avanzar
Este muro en mi corazon
Pido a Dios poder alcanzarte
Pero algo siempre sale mal
Causa angustia en mi corazon
Yo no se si exiate una cosa tal
Como la eternidad
Lo descubrire con tal de a tu lado
Segir... lo hare!!!
Yo eh sido herida muchas vecs ya
Con anterioridad
No me detendre, ya no perdere
Esta es mi desicion. continuare!!
Hay algo en mi corazon. tu imagen!!
Y eso hace que las lagrimas
Suenen como un rio en medio del dolor
Siempre desie compartir. contigo!
Los sentimientos que negaba yo
Anhelaba un poco de tu comprension
Quise mostrarme ante ti
Como alguien de duro corazon
El tiempo paso y me arrepenti
Ahora pedire tu perdon!!
Mi indesicion causo el gran error
Me domino el temor
Hoy me descubri y vez ante ti lo que hay en m!!!
Ven quiero saber que eres realidad
Dame felicidad!!
Que alle en ti al reir, que alle en tà al llorar, lo quiero descubrir!
Porque esperar!!
Siempre temi entregar . mi vida!!
Hoy ya no es asi me decidi y nada habra quien me lo impida
Quiero que mi corazon . lo goze!
Un sentimiento al desconocer
En el mar sin freno entregandoseee!!
Hay algo en mi corazon. tu imagen
Y eso hace que las lagrimas suenen como un rio en medio del dolor
Mi voz podraa escuchar!!
Lo podras oir... lo prometo me escucharas!
Un dia lograre llegar a ti
Es mi sueño!!

Shakin'. Get the leaf off.
Caterpillar moths. With no time for questions.
Shake me. Fellow blossom.
The Fall is awesome. Where is mine?
Please answer.
Still I think the best of you. Even your worst will do,
even when you did more than you should.
I think the best of you. Even your worst will do,
I'm glad we made it happen when we woke up from the trance.
I'm with you.
The easy world I'm thinking of
I'd take it all.
Will my Lord be gardening?
My Lord will be gardening.
Peek in. Can you show up and not start?
You can't walk through Hunting Park without finding the dark.

Shake it girl. You're not losing anything but your fresh start.
You can't come to Hunting Park without getting married
to what will remain in the dark.
