The Lyrics
[Verso 1] No me queda más Que perderme en un abismo De tristeza y lágrimas No me queda más Que aguantar bien mi derrota Y brindarte felicidad
No me queda más Si tu regreso hoy sería Una imposibilidad Y esto que no era amor Lo que hoy niegas Lo que dices Que nunca pasó Es el más dulce recuerdo De mi vida
