Mejor Sola
Merche Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es el momento ya no aguanto mas
cuento las horas para terminar,
y devolverte tus cosas y olvidarme de ti,
pienso que todo fue una equivocación,
me deje llevar sin control,
nos hemos hecho daño,
quiero empezar a olvidar.

Y cada cual, su rumbo ha de tomar,
sin volver la cara,
hay que empezar con ganas,
y cada cual vallamos a un lugar,
donde no coincidamos mas.

No te quiero sigue tu camino,
nunca debiste cruzarte en mi destino,
no te quiero sigue por tu lado
me voy por ahí, no quiero aquí,
mejor sola que junto a ti.

Un día contigo es una eternidad,
siempre chocamos no podemos hablar,
todo es como imposible,
me niego a seguir asi,
ya no me buscas para hacer el amor,
y te juro asi mejor,
no compartimos nada,
yo quiero volver a soñar.

Y cada cual, su rumbo ha de tomar,
sin volver la cara,
hay que empezar con ganas,
y cada cual vallamos a un lugar,
donde no coincidamos mas.

No te quiero sigue tu camino,
nunca debiste cruzarte en mi destino,
no te quiero sigue por tu lado

me voy por ahí, no quiero aquí,
mejor sola que junto a ti.
