Não aceitou o nosso fim
'Tá desesperado, falando de mim
'Tá me queimando por aí
Meu nome na sua boca anda bem docin'

E quem ouve palavra não ouve pensamento
'Tá se mordendo por dentro, 'tá se mordendo por dentro
Cara amarrada não apaga sentimento

'Tá se mordendo por dentro, 'tá se mordendo por dentro

'Tá espalhando por aí que eu esfriei, que eu 'tô mal
Que eu 'tô sem sal, realmente eu 'tô
Sem saudade de você
Eu já fiz foi te esquecer

'Tá espalhando por aí que eu esfriei, que eu 'tô mal
Que eu 'tô sem sal, realmente eu 'tô
Sem saudade de você
Eu já fiz foi te esquecer

E quem ouve palavra não ouve pensamento
'Tá se mordendo por dentro, 'tá se mordendo por dentro
Cara amarrada não apaga sentimento
'Tá se mordendo por dentro, 'tá se mordendo por dentro

'Tá espalhando por aí que eu esfriei, que eu 'tô mal
Que eu 'tô sem sal, realmente eu 'tô
Sem saudade de você
Eu já fiz foi te esquecer

'Tá espalhando por aí que eu esfriei, que eu 'tô mal
Que eu 'tô sem sal, realmente eu 'tô
Sem saudade de você
Eu já fiz foi te esquecer

'Tá espalhando por aí que eu esfriei, que eu 'tô mal
Que eu 'tô sem sal, realmente eu 'tô
Sem saudade de você
Eu já fiz foi te esquecer

Sem saudade de você
Eu já fiz foi te esquecer
