La espera me agotó
No se nada de vos
Dejaste tanto en mí
En llamas me acosté
Y en un lento degradé
Supe que te perdí

¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido, moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver

Una rápida traición
Y salimos del amor
Tal vez me lo busqué

Mi ego va a estallar
Ahí donde no estás
Oh, los celos otra vez

¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver

No lo sé
Cuanto falta no lo sé
Si es muy tarde no lo sé
Si no olvido, moriré
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?

Ahora sé lo que es perder

Otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
