Mis días sin ti son tan oscuros
Tan largos tan grises
Mis días sin ti

Mis días sin ti son
Tan absurdos
Tan agrios tan duros
Mis días sin ti

Mis días sin ti
No tienen noches
Si alguna aparece es inútil
Dormir

Mis días sin ti son un derroche
Las horas no tienen principio ni fin

Tan faltos de aire
Tan llenos de nada
Chatarra inservible
Basura en el suelo
Moscas en la casa

Mis días sin ti son como un cielo
Sin lunas plateadas
Ni rastros de sol

Mis días sin ti son solo un eco
Que siempre repite la misma canción

Tan faltos de aire
Tan llenos de nada
Chatarra inservible
Basura en el suelo
Moscas en la casa

Pateando las piedras
Aún sigo esperando que vuelvas conmigo
Aún sigo buscando
En las caras de ancianos
Pedazos de niño

Cazando motivos que me hagan creer
Que aún me encuentro con vida,
Mordiendo mis uñas
Ahogándome en llanto
Extrañándote tanto

Mis días sin ti
Mis días sin ti
Mis días sin ti
Como duelen los días sin ti
Sin ti
Sin ti
