tell you something I

never said before

She captured my

heart That’s the sweet fear that made me

feel

different from the

rest Something changed

when I was by her

[Música]

side Today I don’t

remember how I could

live without

knowing her

[Música]

My life no longer makes sense, I no longer care about the world without

razón ya no me importa el mundo sin

her, she’s the dream

of

a loser who

found her and now can

[Música]

exist, and I’m going to

[Música]

exist, and I could exist

because of her

[Música]

[Música]

We can only

walk under the
