Por Que Ser%C3%A1
Toquinho Lyrics
Por que será
Que eu ando triste por te adorar?
Por que será
Que a vida insiste em se mostrar
Mais distraída dentro de um bar
Por que será?
Por que será
Que o nosso assunto já se acabou?
Por que será
Que o que era junto se separou
E o que era muito se definhou
Por que será?
Eu, quantas vezes
Me sento à mesa de algum lugar
Falando coisas só por falar
Adiando a hora de te encontrar
É muito triste
Quando se sente tudo morrer
E ainda existe
O amor que mente para esconder
Que o amor presente
Não tem mais nada para dizer
Que eu ando triste por te adorar?
Por que será
Que a vida insiste em se mostrar
Mais distraída dentro de um bar
Por que será?
Por que será
Que o nosso assunto já se acabou?
Por que será
E o que era muito se definhou
Por que será?
Eu, quantas vezes
Me sento à mesa de algum lugar
Falando coisas só por falar
Adiando a hora de te encontrar
É muito triste
Quando se sente tudo morrer
E ainda existe
O amor que mente para esconder
Que o amor presente
Não tem mais nada para dizer
