La letra de la canción:

Veo
Cómo caen de mi piel
Trocitos descamados
Por la ausencia de
Tu humedad
Mi cuerpo deshidratado
Cae,
La piel rota
Dejando al descubierto
La otra
Con más brillo
Que la que cae
Porque algo la está
Alimentando.

Mi piel,
En silencio grita
Sácame de aquí
Mi piel,
En silencio grita
Oxígeno
Para respirar.

Respirar
De esta falta de ti
Respirar
De esta ausencia de mí
Respirar
Para sentir mejor
Respirar
Para aliviar el dolor
Respirar, respirar
Respirar, respirar.

Hoy necesitaría la invasión
De mi espacio personal
Pero no,
Hoy no lo habrá
No habrá abrazo
No habrá tu abrazo
Hoy no lo habrá.

El dolor por momentos
Se hace casi insoportable
Pero lo que no te mata
Te hace implacable
Cada uno en su universo
Siente su dolor
Como algo inmenso.

El amor
Nos da la vida
Y su ausencia
Nos mata un poco
Cada día.

Mi piel
En silencio grita
Sácame de aquí.
Mi piel en silencio grita
Oxígeno
Para respirar.

Respirar
De esta falta de ti
Respirar de esta ausencia de mí.
Respirar
Para sentir mejor
Respirar
Para aliviar el dolor.
Respirar
Para sentir que estoy viva
Y puedo respirar
Sin ti.
Respirar, respirar, respirar, respirar…
Respirar, respirar, respirar, respirar
