Dormí con el celular en la cama
Con la esperanza de que tú me llames
Después del huracán viene la calma
Eso dicen para no descontrolarme
No puedo comer, no puedo dormir, no logro enfocarme
Solo pienso ti, oh

I slept with the phone on the bed
Hoping that you would call me
After the storm comes calm
That’s what they say so I don’t lose control
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t focus
I only think of you, oh

Perhaps I was the one who failed you
