Lyrics

[Letra de "Vuelve"]

[Verso 1]
Algo me dice que ya no volverás
Estoy seguro que esta vez no habrá marcha atrás
Después de todo fui yo a decirte que no
Sabes bien que no es cierto
Estoy muriendo por dentro

Y ahora es que me doy cuenta que sin ti no soy nada
He perdido las fuerzas, he perdido las ganas
He intentado encontrarte en otras personas
No es igual, no es lo mismo
Nos separa un abismo

[Coro 1]
Vuelve que sin ti la vida se me va
Oh, vuelve que me falta el aire si tu no estas
Oh, vuelve, nadie ocupara tu lugar

[Coro 2]
Sobra tanto espacio si no estas
No paso un minuto sin pensar
Sin ti la vida lentamente se me va

[Verso 2]
Algo me dice ya no sirve de nada
Tantas noches en vela aferrado a mi almohada
Si pudiera tan solo regresar un momento
Ahora es que te comprendo
Ahora es cuando te pierdo
[Coro 1]
Vuelve que sin ti la vida se me va
Oh, vuelve que me falta el aire si tu no estas
Oh, vuelve, nadie ocupara tu lugar

[Coro 2]
Sobra tanto espacio si no estas
No paso un minuto sin pensar
Sin ti la vida lentamente se me va

[Puente]
Y a pesar que fui yo a decirte que no
Sin embargo aqui sigo insistiendote

[Coro 1]
Vuelve que sin ti la vida se me va
Oh, vuelve que me falta el aire si tu no estas
Oh, vuelve,nadie ocupara tu lugar

Vuelve que sin ti la vida se me va
Oh, vuelve que me falta el aire si tu no estas
Oh, vuelve, nadie ocupara tu lugar
