Cuando la pena cae sobre mí
el mundo deja ya de existir,
miro hacia atrás y busco entre mis recuerdos.
Para encontrar la niña que fui
y algo de todo lo que perdí,
miro hacia atrás y busco entre mis recuerdos.
Sueño con noches brillantes,
al borde de un mar
de aguas claras y puras
y un aire cubierto de azahar.
Cada momento era especial,
días de prisa, tardes de paz,
miro hacia atrás y busco entre mis recuerdos.
Yo quisiera volver a encontrar la pureza
nostalgia de tanta inocencia
que tan poco tiempo duró.
Con el veneno sobre mi piel,
frente a las sombras de la pared,
miro hacia atrás y busco entre mis recuerdos,
vuelvo hacia atrás y busco entre mis recuerdos.
