Decidete

by: Ainhoa

dices que no
que todod da igual que no hay nada que cmbiar
aunque ya no este contigo
y si es lo mejor
dime por que
yo no te puedo creer
cuando te miro amor
no veo en ti verdad
no mientas mas
en mi puedes confiar
por que sufrir
CORO
decidete , si me quieres yo aqui me quedarey si prefieres que me vaya
yo de ti me alejare
decidete , ya me harte de tanta estupidez
o me quieres a tu lado siempre
o me alejare
no quiero pensar
que puede pasar
si estas de nuevo enamorado
y que sera de mi si tu no estas aqui
te digo adios
le pongo fin a este sufrir
ya se acabo
CORO
nada puede ser tan complicado
no hay razon para que mientas
dejare la puerta abierta , si quieres volver solo te hara falta prometerme
jurarme que esta vez
todo sera mejor
sin equivocacion
CORO
