Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu fui o culpado, rogo o seu perdão
Venho lhe seguir, lhe pedir desculpas
Foi por minha culpa a separação
Devo admitir que sou réu confesso
E por isso eu peço, peço pra voltar
Longe de você já não sou mais nada
Longe de você já não sou mais nada
Veja, é uma parada viver sem te ver
Perto de você eu consigo tudo
Eu já vejo tudo, peço pra voltar
Devo admitir que sou réu confesso
E por isso eu peço, peço pra voltar
Longe de você já não sou mais nada
Veja é uma parada viver sem te ver
Perto de você eu consigo tudo
Eu já vejo tudo, peço pra voltar
