Tu, que pierdes el control Hablando en alta voz Hieres mi corazón Yo, tratando de escuchar No me puedo explicar Qué extraía sensación Tu no me quieres entender Y me mandas a callar diciéndome No me debo sorprender Porque así es la realidad De nuestro amor Y yo No tengo armas para enfrentarte Pongo mis manos, manos al aire Solo me importa amarte En cuerpo y alma como era ayer Tu que perdiste el control Te dejaste llevar Por la inseguridad Yo que te he visto crecer Me puedo imaginar Que todo cambiara Hoy aunque todo siga igual Y me mandes a callar diciéndome Que tienes que dominar O será el final Y yo no puedo así Y yo No tengo armas para enfrentarte Pongo mis manos, manos al aire Solo me importa amarte En cuerpo y alma como era ayer
