Yo No Te Quiero
by: Sofi MayenPor favor dame solo un momento,
De tu tiempo amor,
No compliques mas esto,
Ya no cambies, no,
El tema te lo juro es lo mejor,
Para los dos.
Pienso en ti, pero al verme al espejo,
También pienso en mi,
Detrás de este reflejo alguien grita por mi,
Pidiendo auxilio para alejarse, de ti.
Y es inconsciente seguir fingiendo,
Siente como me alejo,
Yo no soy tu salvación para seguir,
Con esta falsa, no.
Siento que no es honesto
Mentirte mas con esto,
Porque finjo que tiemblo
Cada vez que te beso,
Lamento decir esto
Pero yo no te quiero.
Continuar, querer perdiendo el tiempo,
Que venga a salvar,
Fantasmas que hemos hecho,
De una realidad,
Que nunca podrá disfrazar, jamás.
Y es inconsciente seguir fingiendo,
Siente como me alejo,
Yo no soy tu salvación para seguir,
Con esta falsa, no.
Siento que no es honesto
Mentirte mas con esto,
Porque finjo que tiemblo
Cada vez que te beso
Lamento decir esto
Pero yo no te quiero.
Pero yo no te quiero...
Porque siempre será mejor hablar con la verdad,
Tratarnos con honestidad,
Evitar un triste final sin solución.
Siento que no es honesto
Mentirte mas con esto,
Porque finjo que tiemblo
Cada vez que te beso
Lamento decir esto
Pero yo no te quiero.
Siento que no es honesto,
Mentirte más con esto.
Lamento decir esto,
