Falsa Consideração
by: Jorge Aragãoagora eu sei
que o amor que você prometeu
não foi igual ao que você me deu
era mentira o que você jurou
mas não faz mal
eu aprendi que não se deve crer
em tudo aquilo que alguém nos diz
num momento de prazer ou de amor
mas tudo bem eu sei que um dia vai ficar tudo bem
você um dia há de encontrar alguém
para lhe fazer o que você me fez
e aí na hora do sufoco sei que você vai me procurar
com a mesma conversa que me fez apaixonar
por alguém de uma falsa consideração
e aí você vai perceber que eu estou numa boa
que durante algum tempo eu fiquei sem ninguém
mas há males na vida que vem para o bem
mas há males na vida que vem para o bem
