Outra Canção Tristonha
Thiago Pethit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dessa vez eu vou tentar sorrir
Nem que seja só pra constatar que eu não consegui
E mesmo assim você não estará pra ver em vão
Eu tentar sorrir assim sem jeito em meio à multidão
Cada vez mais longe você vai ficar de saber
Se há motivos pra eu cantar
Ou só pra fazer
Outra canção tristonha, sentimental, sobre você

Se acaso um estranho vier perguntar
Eu finjo que engasguei que engoli o ar
Tiro o pensamento fora de órbita
Invento um circo ou lugar
Pois quando for a hora de eu me despedir




Quando o avião partir
Eu vou saber
