El problema no fue hallarte,
el problema es olvidarte.
El problema no es tu ausencia,
el problema es que te espero.

El problema no es problema,
el problema es que me duele,
El problema no es que mientas,
el problema es que te creo.

El problema no es que juegues,
el problema es que es conmigo.
Si me gustaste por ser libre,
quién soy yo para cambiarte.

Si me quedé queriendo solo,
cómo hacer para obligarte.
El problema no es quererte,
es que tú no sientas lo mismo.

Y cómo deshacerme de ti,
si no te tengo.
Cómo alejarme de ti,
si estás tan lejos.

Cómo encontrarle una pestaña
a lo que nunca tuvo ojos.
Cómo encontrarle plataformas
a lo que siempre fue un barranco
Cómo encontrar en la alacena
los besos que no me diste.

Y cómo deshacerme de ti,
si no te tengo.
Cómo alejarme de ti,
si estás tan lejos.

Y es que el problema no es cambiarte,
el problema es que no quiero.

El problema no es que duela,
el problema es que me gusta.
El problema no es el daño,
el problema son las huellas.

El problema no es lo que haces,
el problema es que lo olvido.
El problema no es que digas,
el problema es lo que callas.

Y cómo deshacerme de ti,
si no te tengo.
Cómo alejarme de ti,
si estás tan lejos.

Cómo encontrarle una pestaña
a lo que nunca tuvo ojos.
Cómo encontrarle plataformas
a lo que siempre fue un barranco
Cómo encontrar en la alacena
los besos que no me diste.

Y cómo deshacerme de ti,
si no te tengo.
Cómo alejarme de ti,
si estás tan lejos.

El problema no fue hallarte,
el problema es olvidarte.
El problema no es que mientas,
el problema es que te creo.

El problema no es cambiarte,
el problema es que no quiero.
El problema no es quererte,
Es que tú no sientas lo mismo.

El problema no es que juegues,
El problema es que es conmigo.
