Letra:
¡Cuidado!
Aquí un soldado caído
Con el corazón partido
Queriendo sobrevivir
¡Cuidado!
Me quedan pocos latidos
Porque ya no estas conmigo
Estoy que muero sin ti
Dime que también lloran tus ojitos cuando preguntan por nosotros,
Dime que piensas en mi aunque no esté ahí, aunque estés con otro
Dime yo no te olvidaré
Porque yo a ti no te olvidaré
En el cel no me queda un espacio y no borro tus fotos
Dime que también lloran tus ojitos
Y se te ponen todos rojos
Dime que piensas en mi aunque no esté ahí, aunque estés con otro
Dime yo no te olvidaré
Porque yo a ti no te olvidare
En el cel no me queda un espacio y no borro tus fotos
Me rehuso a borrar los recuerdos que tengo contigo
Si supieras que tu contacto aún tiene corazón y una foto contigo
Para saber que eres tu cuando me vuelvas a llamar
Porque yo se que un día de estos va a pasar
Tengo fé que vamos a regresar
Aunque me digas que no
Y te engañes estando con otro bebé se que soy
El amor de tu vida y que también quieres echar para atrás el tiempo pero todavía estamos a tiempo de volver
Porfa dime que quiero saber
Dime que también lloran tus ojitos cuando preguntan por nosotros,
Dime que piensas en mi aunque no esté ahí, aunque estés con otro
Dime yo no te olvidaré
Porque yo a ti no te olvidaré
En el cel no me queda un espacio y no borro tus fotos
Dime que también lloran tus ojitos
Y se te ponen todos rojos
Dime que piensas en mi aunque no esté ahí, aunque estés con otro
Dime yo no te olvidaré
Porque yo a ti no te olvidaré
En el cel no me queda un espacio y no borro tus fotos
Hey como siempre, solo por hoy amor, solo por hoy
Dime que también lloran tus ojitos cuando preguntan por nosotros,
Dime que piensas en mi aunque no esté ahí, aunque estés con otro
Dime yo no te olvidaré
Porque yo a ti no te olvidaré
En el cel no me queda un espacio y no borro tus fotos
Dime que también lloran tus ojitos
Y se te ponen todos rojos
Dime que piensas en mi aunque no esté ahí, aunque estés con otro
Dime yo no te olvidaré
Porque yo a ti no te olvidaré
En el cel no me queda un espacio y no borro tus fotos
