Ocultando tu mirada
de tristeza abandonada
en la soledad?

Esperanza, créeme:
yo no quise hacerte mal.
Te suplico me comprendas
si te defraudé.

Esperanza te aseguro
que sin tí hoy nada tengo,
que serás por siempre el ángel
de mis sueños.

Aquí estoy, ya me ves,
suplicándote perdón.
Si en verdad te fallé,
no fué esa mi intención.
Cúlpame y entiérrame
en el pecho tu dolor,
pero no te vayas nunca,
no me ignores, por favor.

Que difícil descubrir
el vacío en tu mirar
donde ardía aquel incendio
sobrenatural.

Escondida en un rincón
con el mundo del revés,
y que todo sea culpa
de mi estupidez.

Aquí estoy, ya me ves,
suplicándote perdón.
Si en verdad te fallé,
no fué esa mi intención.
Cúlpame y entiérrame
en el pecho tu dolor,
pero no te vayas nunca,
no me ignores, por favor.

Aquí estoy, ya me ves,
suplicándote perdón.
Si en verdad te fallé,
no fué esa mi intención.
Cúlpame y entiérrame
en el pecho tu dolor,
pero no te vayas nunca,
no me ignores, por favor.
