Cabe un siglo en este martes por la noche
Dueles más que el peor dolor que se inventó
El espejo lanza dardos de reproche
Hoy empieza lo que ya se terminó

La esperanza se tiró por la ventana
El insomnio se quedó a vivir aquí
El ayer lo dejó todo pa’ mañana
Y el mañana cuando esté yo ya me fui

No consigo respirar
Hago apnea desde el día en que no estás
Caigo hasta el fondo del mar, arañando la burbuja en que no estás
Imposible respirar
El oxígeno se fue de este lugar

Te regalo esta canción desesperada
Desabrida como lunes por la tarde
Colapsado caigo al fondo y en picada
Y no tengo ni el valor pa’ ser cobarde

No consigo respirar
Hago apnea desde el día en que no estás
Caigo hasta el fondo del mar, arañando la burbuja en que no estás
Imposible respirar
El oxígeno se fue de este lugar

Prisa de rendirse y claudicar
Descenso en espiral profundidad
Amnesia de pelear por respirar
Deseo de rendirse en soledad

Oxigeno golpeando una pared
El pulso tropezando sin radar
Colapsa corazón a su merced
Morir será mejor que recordar

No consigo respirar
Hago apnea desde el día en que no estás
Caigo hasta el fondo del mar, arañando la burbuja en que no estás
Imposible respirar
El oxígeno se fue de este lugar
