Lyrics

Cuenta la historia
"Tu amor es duro como una piedra y tu eres dura igual, y yo tan solo asi quede, solo como una piedra en el camino por correr, viejos albures de almas y te pregunto si ese fue el objeto de rapiña en tu querer".
El tiempo pasa en vano
"25 años ya de tu primer amor, tu vida desecho por tu inseguridad. Son 18 años ya de tu primer dolor, en vano por su amor, que no te duele mas. Son 14 años ya, pudiste comprender que es un cuento real, miseria y ambicion, y nada ya es igual y todo es peor".
