Os Travessos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E nunca quis te magoar, não sou assim
Eu só queria ter o brilho dos teus olhos
Eu só pedia um pouco mais do teu amor
E eu não poderia esperar que fosse assim
E na verdade só quis ter você para mim
Eu não queria essa dor dentro do peito
Nem esse fogo me queimando o coração
Respeita essa paixão, não vá embora
Te dou mais mil razões para ficar comigo
Meu amor bem digo que achei que desse certo
Pensei que fosse o caminho mais perto
De ter você para sempre junto a mim
