Perdona si te hago llorar
Perdona si te hago sufrir
Pero es que no está en mis manos
Pero es que no está en mis manos
Me he enamorado
Me he enamorado
Me enamoré

Perdona si te causo dolor
Perdona si te digo hoy adiós
Como decirle que te amo
Como decirle que te amo
Si él me ha preguntado
Le he dicho que no
Le he dicho que no

Soy honesta con él y contigo
A él lo quiero y a ti te he olvidado
Si tú quieres
Seremos amigos
Yo te ayudo a olvidar el pasado
No te aferres
No te aferres
A un imposible
Ya no te hagas
Ni me hagas más daño

Tú bien sabes
Que no fue mi culpa
Tú te fuiste sin decirme nada
Y a pesar que lloré como nunca
Yo seguía de ti enamorada
Pero te fuiste
Y que regresabas
No me dijiste
Y sin más nada
Porque no sé
Pero fue así
Así fue

Te brindé la mejor de las suertes
Me propuse
No hablarte ni verte
Y hoy que has vuelto
Ya vez solo hay nada
Yo ya no puedo ni debo quererte
Ya no te amo
Me he enamorado
De un ser divino
De un buen amor
Que me enseñó
A olvidar
Y a perdonar

Soy honesta con él y contigo
A él lo quiero y a ti te he olvidado
Si tú quieres
Seremos amigos
Yo te ayudo a olvidar el pasado
No te aferres
Y ya no te aferres
A un imposible
Ya no te hagas
Ni me hagas más daño
