Contigo Aprendí
Paloma San Basilio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Puede como tú dijiste que me falte sensibilidad
Puede, pero no es cierto amor, hablar con mi soledad
Odio, desnudar mis penas, que adivines mi debilidad
Odio, hacerte escenas, odio tu caridad
Contigo aprendí, hacer una roca
A disimular, a cerrar la boca
Contigo aprendí a usar la mentira
Sabes soy una señora, no me rompo solo por amor
Sabes no es cuestión de formas, es cuestión de buena educación
Odio, sentirme victima, odio tu compasión
Contigo aprendí hacer una roca
A disimular, a cerrar la boca
Contigo aprendí a usar la mentira
Contigo aprendí, la vida.
