    El Muro

    by: Enrique Iglesias

    Quisiera acercarme a ti
    Y no me atrevo
    Y se que tu lo deseas
    Igual o mas
    Quisiera oirte decir
    estoy temblando
    Y yo tampien tengo frio
    Y no vendras
    Siguen pasando los dias
    Y tu en silencio preguntas
    Que nos paso
    Hay un muro entre tu y yo
    Hay un muro en la obscuridad
    Caricias rotas
    Buscando volver
    Y un amor que muere
    Y no hay nada que hacer
    Hay un muro entre tu y yo
    Dos heridas en la soledad
    Dos luces blancas
    Que el tiempo apago
    Y un amor que muere
    Lo queramos o no
    Quisiera besar de nuevo
    Tus manos largas
    Tambien ellas lo quisieran
    Y yo lo se
    Quisiera romper el nudo
    De tus secretos
    Y abrirte mi alma entera
    Ayudame
    Sigues mirando en silencio
    Y tu tampoco te explicas
    Que nos fallo
    Hay un muro entre tu y yo
    Hay un muro en la obscuridad
    Caricias rotas
    Buscando volver
    Y un amor que muere
    Y no hay nada que hacer
    Hay un muro entre tu y yo
    Dos heridas en la soledad
    Dos luces blancas
    Que el tiempo apago
    Y un amor que muere
    Lo queramos o no
    Hay un muro entre tu y yo
    Hay un muro en la obscuridad
    Caricias rotas
    Buscando volver
    Y un amor que muere
    Y no hay nada que hacer
    Hay un muro entre tu y yo
    Dos heridas en la soledad
    Dos luces blancas
    Que el tiempo apago
    Y un amor que muere
